Bookkeeping tool

[Marie Lousie]

I am doing my bookkeeping with Xero but not that good, what is the best resource for help with my bookkeeping? Thank you

Google can be the best teacher for you. You can find some tutorials in YouTube. We are using accounting software for years.

There are a huge number of resources available, evening courses with local colleges, you tube videos (these can be slow), websites, consultants who will connect to your session and walk you through things. I do this with Sage 50 for clients, so I am pretty sure there must be someone doing it with Xero.

We have been using xero and sage from time to time. From personal experience and extensive research we have prepared a competitive article between top bookkeeping tools here - https://priceandaccountants.com/ai-powe ... ing-tools/

There are lots of accounting packages out there, whilst reading reviews and demos may help, the only way to see if an accounting package meets your needs is to test it out.

Don't burn bridges, if your new system does not meet expectations you need something to go back to.

With any software the help of a consultant who knows the software and can help you get the most out of it can be invaluable.

I regularly help people avoid having to change systems, by working around issues, implementing unused parts of systems, and writing custom tools. I only work with Sage50 but I am sure there will be other who work with other systems.

My experience with sales people in accounting software is that they are liars and cheats, they say anything to get you on board and then abandon you. Having a consultant who is independent of sales who will tell you the truth even if it is not what the salesman wants to be said is worth every penny.
