What is Xero?
Should you incorporate your private practice or have particularly complicated accounting issues, Xero may be your solution. Xero is a user friendly accountancy software that is cloud based. This means it is securely held at all times. You always know where everything is and your accountant can have access to help keep an eye on things too at all times. The cost effective software uses up to date technology that automates certain accountancy functions which in turn frees up time for you to concentrate on other areas of your practice.  Features include:

Bank Reconciliation
Know your cash position when you reconcile daily.
Xero automatically and securely imports your bank transactions every business day. You save hours on admin and get daily updates on the state of your business finances. Xero connects with numerous banks globally so, chances are, your bank is one of them.

Reconcile easily with coding suggestions
Was it payment of an invoice? Was it spending on travel? Or stationery? Simply confirm what Xero suggests. You can also set up rules for matching your bank transactions automatically to invoices, bill payments and purchases that are already recorded in Xero, making reconciliation seamless.

Reduce work at Year End 
Not only will you be more in control of your practice's finances, come tax time most of the hard work is done – you’ll already have categorised income and expenses, and matched payments to invoices.

Receive and store bills online in one location
Email bills and documents straight to your files inbox in Xero for paperless record-keeping. For simple data entry, use side-by-side files to enter your bills with the file attached. With everything stored online in the cloud, you can access your bills at any time, from anywhere.

What is Receipt Bank?
Receipt Bank is an app which links with software such as Xero that allows you to scan or take photos of invoices and receipts which are then automatically published into your accountancy package. Simple, accurate and time saving. 

Time saving
Think of how much time you have spent sorting through receipts and invoices. There is a better way. Submitting expenses on the go means no more lost invoices or late nights entering data plus this provides real time visibility into the practice's finances. With Receipt Bank, you just scan or snap a photo of the invoice or receipt and all of the key data is extracted and sent to your accountancy package.
