We've chosen Xero for you because it's the simplest online bookkeeping software we've found for non-contractor or freelancer businesses.

And being in the cloud is seriously cool.

No more emailing spreadsheets back and forth or sending corrupt Sage data back ups.  No more being limited to one computer and one user.

With Xero you can access your data anywhere, anytime - even from your phone.

And we can access your data too. OK  - that might be scary but it's really not.​  By accessing your software we can make sure you're doing things right and it makes it easier for us to help you if things go wrong.  If you get stuck on a transaction we can do a quick video to put you right, or we can even go in and amend your data.  The options are limitless.

And best of all?  You'll get free data back up​, regular new features added to the software and a great dashboard showing you the most important bits of financial information you need to see.

You'll have Xero sussed in about 15 minutes.  But to get the most out of it we recommend you go through these training modules one by one.  Use the demo company to play to your heart's content - you can even re-set the data if you want to start again.

The options are limitless.

We recommend you start by watching the following video which gives an overview of the cashbook version.

If you're using the full version then also have a look at section 2 (how to set up your sales invoices and emails), section 4 (how to post sales and quotations) and section 5 (how to post purchase invoices and purchase orders).

If you're using the Cashbook version of Xero some of the sections here won't apply - in particular sections 4, 5, 10 and 13.
