Why choose Xero?

At LJM Bookkeeping we just love Xero! We love using it that much that it’s the only accounting software we use. 


Xero is cloud based which means you can access your data in real time from anywhere you have an internet connection. You can get accurate up to date information about your cash flow so that you can make decisions promptly based on your current financial status.


Raising invoices in Xero could not be more simple. In fact you can even leave that to us, so that you can concentrate on getting more sales. 


Using Xero software makes your life so much easier, and ours too! We can easily chase outstanding debts for you, by setting up templates to email your clients when their invoices are overdue. No more chasing payments, we can be your credit control team! Xero even integrates with your emails so that the email is sent from your business and not through a Xero based email address. This offers a more personal touch when contacting your clients.


We can even add payment methods to your invoices such as Stripe and GoCardless. This makes it easier for your clients to never miss a payment, by setting up a direct debit or paying by card.


As Xero integrates with Dext we use this alongside to ensure that expenses do not get missed. By connecting Dext with Xero and your bank feed it means that transactions are easily matched so there’s no going back and forth between ourselves to find out what the receipt relates to.


Xero has so many capabilities and an extensive range of apps in which you can integrate with your software, it’s not possible to mention them all. Not sure of what you can connect with Xero? Simply just visit the 
App Marketplace. Xero has their own marketplace where you can discover the potential. Scroll through the categories, or if you're looking for something specific type it into the search bar. Xero are updating this all the time, so it’s advisable to keep checking back if there’s something you are looking for which isn’t there.


Xero are making constant changes to ensure that their software is as up to date as possible with the latest features, meaning that it grows with your business. We use Xero to ensure that we offer a sustainable accounting eco system suitable for your business requirements and growth.


Xero is easy to understand and navigate with an ‘easy on the eye’ layout. What’s not to love?! 


If you’re not already using Xero then get in touch and we can help you with the transition to support you with your bookkeeping. If you are an existing user and looking for bookkeeping support then we can assist you with the process of integrating your software with ours as quickly and efficiently as possible. We can even give your Xero a Health Check with our Dext Precision software.

If you know me or have followed me on my social media channels for some time, you will have gathered that I just love software and technology. Often called the Software Queen and known for our tech-savvy approach, constantly implementing new processes to make our lives—and our clients' lives—easier, I love to promote how business owners and other bookkeepers should leverage technology in order to free up time.
