At Honestly Bookkeeping, we prioritize transparency and ethical practices not just for our clients, but in the tools we use ourselves. That's why we made the switch from QuickBooks Online to Xero, and we haven't looked back. Here's what made Xero the clear winner for our team:

A User Interface Built for Efficiency

Imagine a cluttered desk overflowing with papers. That's what using QuickBooks often felt like. Xero, on the other hand, offers a clean and intuitive interface with plenty of whitespace. It's like having a well-organized workspace where everything is easy to find. Plus, features like breadcrumbs and the ability to open multiple tabs make navigating between tasks a breeze.

Customization that Saves Time (and Money)

We love that Xero empowers us to create custom reports that perfectly suit our clients' needs. These reports can be saved for future use, saving us time in the long run. And unlike QuickBooks, all reports are available on every Xero plan, so you're not nickel-and-dimened for essential features.

Openness Breeds a More Streamlined Workflow

Manually entering data is the enemy of productivity. Xero's open API integrates seamlessly with other software, eliminating the need for repetitive data entry. This creates a more efficient workflow and reduces the risk of errors.

Aligning Our Values with the Software We Use

At Honestly Bookkeeping, we believe in transparency and building trust. Xero's pricing structure reflects that value. Their plans are clear and straightforward, with no hidden fees. Additionally, their support team is consistently helpful and professional.

Beyond that, Xero is a company with a clear focus on customer experience. They prioritize feedback and update their software predictably, ensuring a smooth experience for users. Finally, they have a track record of ethical practices, which is something we can proudly stand behind.

The Verdict is In: Xero Wins Every Time

We've had the chance to transition several clients from QuickBooks to Xero, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate the user-friendly interface, the powerful features, and the overall feeling of efficiency that Xero provides.

If you're looking for accounting software that prioritizes both functionality and ethics, look no further than Xero. We at Honestly Bookkeeping wholeheartedly recommend it.
