Web-based Accounting Software Keeps Small Business Plugged In To New Opportunities
By Lucy Whittington
Online software helps entrepreneurs keep an eye on the big picture and find new opportunities.
They say the early bird catches the worm and new technologies like Xero online are helping entrepreneurs identify and respond to market trends.
Xero is a web-based system that provides a complete, easy to understand, picture of your business' financial information at all times. Being web-based, it offers real time information and is accessible from any web browser, including your iPhone or Blackberry.
For small business owners who've been managing their accounts on spreadsheets or complicated systems, Xero's web-based software is a breath of fresh air. The online system has been specially designed to be as easy to use as a computer game, but still have the financial power to
prepare end of year accounts.
Personal trainer Hamish Abbie decided to move to Xero's web-based system because it was the only package he found that gave him big picture information about where the business is at. He says the budget manager has been invaluable in helping him forecast and prepare for seasonal ups and downs with special promotions and events.
"Having real time financial information always available in Xero makes it easy for me to see how my business is performing and what parts of the business need more work. You just don't get that from a spreadsheet," he says.
With the business growing rapidly, the financial demands of the business are becoming more complex. Thanks to online and Xero, Hamish is better informed than ever. And he's spending less time on his accounts and more time with customers.
Xero's online accounting system is easy for business owners to use while still providing enough detail for accountants. By managing their accounts online, businesses create a single set of up-to-date accounts and business information accessible from any web browser.
