What I like most about Xero is how simple it feels once you start using it. Even if you are not deeply experienced in accounting, the interface is easy to understand and most features are straightforward to find. Bank reconciliation, invoices, and financial information are organised well, which makes everyday work much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the platform feels a little slow, and a few workflows take more steps than I expect. I also think the AI features could understand the user's intention better and provide more contextual suggestions instead of just basic assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Xero is that it’s a cloud-based accounting system, which means I can access it and work from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. The interface is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, making my day-to-day accounting tasks more efficient. I also appreciate how convenient it is to upload documents and invoices directly into the system. On top of that, it generates financial reports quickly and accurately, which helps me save time and stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to point to one drawback, I’d say some of the more advanced reporting features can feel a bit challenging for new users to learn at first. That said, once you get familiar with the system, it becomes easy to use and works very well for everyday, day-to-day accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an accountant, I take care of many research projects in our department; previously, we used Excel and Tally only, but it used to create many difficulties for me. In terms of its user interface, Xero impresses me in terms of simplicity. Everything that one requires is easily accessible, without any hassle at all. The dashboard provides a brief overview of finances, which comes in handy when the HOD suddenly calls for a brief overview of finances.

What saves a lot of time in this software is reconciliation, which is automated in our case, because we've integrated our bank feed. Usually, everything matches up automatically; however, one has to go through the list and confirm by clicking 'Ok.' We've also integrated the software with Stripe for conference registration fees paid by foreign participants, which makes everything automatic. Finally, I find it helpful when I need to ask the AI bot JAX some questions such as: "How much have we spent on the DRDO project this month?"

Onboarding was easy as well. I am not a CA; I am just a normal admin. It took me half a day to get everything done by following the onscreen prompts. What's more, their pricing was really good because of their special offer compared to what others were asking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems the mobile application could use some improvement. If I just want to check my balance, the app works fine. However, if I need an itemized list of project expenses, the current layout doesn’t really support that, so I end up having to access the account on a PC.

Another issue I’ve run into with the accounting software is related to how our department manages different grants. While Xero lets us track expenditures by project, it’s quite difficult to create a detailed utilization report that compares budget and expenditure in a single table. At the moment, I export the data and build a custom report in Excel for the principal investigator.

One last point is pricing: the price list is shown only in USD, which means the cost depends on the current exchange rate. Having an option to pay the monthly fee in rupees would have helped in my situation.

As for customer support, the articles section works well for routine questions. But when I had an issue with a tax code for one of our sponsored projects and needed to submit a ticket, it took about two days to get an appropriate response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Xero to manage all the billing and expense tracking for my client-based business. It makes it easy to create invoices for ongoing projects, set up and schedule recurring invoices, and send automated payment reminders to clients. I can also snap photos of receipts to record expenses while I’m on the go. On top of that, I use Xero to run basic profit-and-loss reports so I always know how the business is performing from month to month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform itself is great, the pricing has steadily increased over the past couple of years, which can feel a bit steep for a freelancer or solo business owner. I’d love to see a more budget-friendly tier aimed at independent contractors who don’t need advanced corporate features but still want unlimited invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Xero is how simple and intuitive it makes financial management, even for non accounting users. The UI is clean, easy to navigate and doesn't feel overwhelming. I especially like the automates bank feeds, easy invoicing, and ability to access everything from anywhere which makes day-to-day book keeping much faster.

Xero's integration with payment platforms, payroll tools and third party business applications are also very useful because they reduce manual work and keep data synchronized. Performance has been reliable, and cloud based platform makes collaboration seamless across teams. From pricing and ROI perspective, it offers strong value by saving time on repetitive accounting tasks. The onboarding experience is straight forward, and help resources and customers support are helpful. I also appreciate the smart AI features that simply reconciliations and reporting, making financial processes more efficient and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing i dislike about Xero is that the certain features aren't always intuitive for the first time users. also, some advanced accounting functions or add on can increase costs over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Xero saves me a lot of time through automation. The bank feed and reconciliation features make bookkeeping much faster, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. I also appreciate that it integrates well with payment platforms and other business tools, so invoices, expenses, and payments stay organized without a lot of manual work. Additionally, the initial setup was easy, with clear instructions that made connecting our bank account, configuring the chart of accounts, and inviting team members simple. We were able to start invoicing and reconciling transactions quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advanced reports could offer more built-in customization, and subscription cost increases as additional features or users are added. Also, some settings are difficult to locate and require multiple clicks, and invoice templates could be more flexible and customizable. Dashboard customization options are somewhat limited, and third-party integration requires extra setup and maintenance. I want bulk editing for transactions and contacts to be more efficient.

We like Xero because it combines a clean, intuitive UI / UX with strong performance, making finance operations easy for both finance and non-finance staff. Its integration ecosystem is an advantage for us, particularly the integration with Employment Hero for payroll and HR workflows, along with banking, expense management. Xero also offers strong value for money compared to larger ERP platforms, with lower implementation overhead and pricing that suits a growing SaaS business. The platform is reliable, easy to support through its large Australian accountant ecosystem, and increasingly strong in AI-driven automation, workflow automation, which aligns well with our focus on operational efficiency and scalable growth.

We would appreciate more customisation and reporting flexibility as we continue to scale, along with deeper automation and AI capabilities for more complex operational workflows and enterprise-level integrations such as Employment Hero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Xero is its clean and well- organized dashboard. Creating invoices, tracking expenses, and checking cash flow are all straightforward, so I don't have to spend time searching for features. Bank reconciliation is also quick, which has reduced the time I spend on routine accounting tasks every week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't like is that some advanced features take a bit of time to learn, especially if you're new to the platform. I'd also like to see more customization in the reporting section, and the pricing can feel a little high for smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Xero to have a very user-friendly interface, making it easy to use with a clean dashboard. This helps my team as we don't need to navigate multiple menus, and the clean dashboards make daily tasks easy to check. The layout also simplifies onboarding for new customers. Additionally, it assists my team in organizing records, monitoring cash flow, and collaborating efficiently. We have reduced manual work, kept financial data organized, and have instant visibility of all financial expenses. The setup was very easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Xero is good going but needs more customize options. I would like more flexibility to customize reporting and dashboard views, and the ability to create more advice report templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design choices are good - the software is clean, and who doesn't like light blue?!

Also, some of the reports are also good, in that they are easy to generate and comprehend. They also generate quickly.

The pricing of the product is in line with industry standards, no longer an expensive option, especially when considering the various integrations and that are available and the new AI features.

For new users, onboarding support/assistance is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bank reconciliation screen isn’t as easy to use as other alternatives, and it ends up taking much longer to complete reconciliations when the data input hasn’t been 100% accurate.

Also, not being able to edit an invoice without first removing the payment is infuriating. Enabling a simple edit here would be a big improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
