I especially love that the home page is customisable so I can change it to only see the accounts I need. Invoicing is a breeze, with option to import invoices straight from emails and copy previous invoices it saves so much time\! The reporting area can feel intimidating to begin with, but once I favourited the ones I need I now find it very straightforward. > > **Cons**: There have been some occasional reliability issues, with updates sometimes taking a day or two after the incident to be communicated by their support team. ----- ### "Best software for long term" — 4.0/5 > **Ryan** | *26 June 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use for non-accountant and integration with other software is good so you do not need to work on several software. > > **Cons**: Price is a bit expensive for micro business. I wish Xero brings affordable payroll module for micro businesses. ----- ### "Zero for Xero" — 1.0/5 > **Andrew** | *25 September 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Invoicing is terrible… the repeat reminders become permanent. Their upgrades are time wasters. Their phone support is non existent. Their quote to invoice details are always incomplete. You have to rewrite details from quotes to invoices. It’s not easy to navigate. Quickbooks was way better.. I would go back but they have incentivised them so I can’t use quickbooks. > > **Cons**: Most things. The quote to invoice was not complete. Difficult to delete invoices. The reminder invoices become permanent with new invoice numbers. > > Like I wanted to smash something. Very frustrating when you then have to waste so much time to get the non existent phone support. The bots are useless ----- ### "Perfect for small businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Jasmine** | *22 April 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very user friendly. The bank feeds, journals, AP and AR function are all very straightforward and the layout is nice to use. > > **Cons**: Importing the chart of accounts can get a bit complicated, but that's expected. There's not much else I don't like. > > Xero is one of the best accounting softwares I have used. It's very user friendly and perfect for small businesses. The limitation is for bigger businesses that have multiple subsidiaries, however for small businesses wanting to manage everyday accounting, it's the perfect choice. ----- ### "User friendly, especially for individuals" — 5.0/5 > **Deborah** | *16 January 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very user friendly, especially for small self employed businesses\! Customer support are prompt in replying. > > **Cons**: Would be great if there was a Favourites area on the home screen for easy referral to what is incoming/outgoing/owing rather than having to open issued invoices individually. Also would like to be able to label transactions when reconciling, so that instead of deleting lines individually from bank statement import that are personal transaction not related to my business in any way, a label will then just disregard the transaction instead of continually trying to match it with a Xero item code. > > So far, so good. A lot of helpful articles available and the Help desk is also prompt with responding. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/169561/xero?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/169561/xero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
