How Xero Can Revolutionize the Way Tradesmen Do Accounting
As a tradesman, you are probably more focused on ensuring that your business is meeting the needs of your clients rather than doing your accounting.
Unfortunately, accounting is a necessary evil that comes with every business. However, Xero, the award-winning accounting software, can make the process more manageable and even enjoyable. In this post, we will look at why we use Xero and how it can change your business for the better.
What about Invoicing?
Invoicing with Xero is a breeze. You can create and send customized invoices that match your brand in minutes. Xero also allows you to set up automatic reminders to ensure that you get paid on time. The invoice templates are intuitive and professionally designed, making it easy for you to create them on the go. You can also track your invoices, so you know what has been paid and what is outstanding.
What about when you need info?
Xero is a cloud-based software, meaning you can access your financial information wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection. This feature is especially convenient for tradesmen as it means that you can stay up to date with your business finances while you're on the go, talking to clients, or managing projects. You can even check balances, view expenses, and create reports on your mobile device or tablet.
What about receipts?
Managing expenses is another area where Xero can revolutionize the way you do accounting. Xero allows you to capture receipts and expenses in real time using its mobile app. This feature makes expense tracking painless, and you won't have to worry about losing track of receipts. Xero also integrates with your bank account, so you can reconcile transactions in minutes. The software even knows how to categorize transactions, which means less time spent on manual data entry and more time doing what you do best.
Oh yeah, and integrations…
Xero's add-ons also make it a powerful tool for tradesmen. Xero integrates with thousands of third-party apps, allowing you to streamline your workflow and reduce your workload. For example, if you use a job management system like Tradify or WorkflowMax, you can connect it to Xero and save time by syncing data across platforms. Or, you can connect Xero to Hubspot, allowing you to convert leads into invoices automatically.
Xero truly is a game-changer for tradesmen. With its intuitive invoicing system, mobile access, expense tracking, and add-ons, Xero can revolutionize the way you do your accounting. So, if you want to spend more time doing what you love and less time buried in paperwork, let’s give Xero a try together. We guarantee you won't be disappointed, and your business will thank you for it.
