About Xero Bookkeeping Software

What is Xero?

Xero is sophisticated accounting software. It runs through a secure online interface. Businesses can use it reliably to store all their bookkeeping records externally, without risk of data destruction as might arise when relying on physical paper records or on an office computer.

How good is Xero?

Xero has grown massively to be arguably the world's leading accounting software. Why - because it's easy, powerful and low cost. Users love it.

Is Xero better than Quickbooks?

This can only be a matter of opinion, but we at BookCheck rate Xero as being significantly superior.
