As a team of chartered accountants who are well up-to-speed with Xero for quite some time now, we are keen to provide advice and services for clients looking into Xero.
While technology like Xero accounting/bookkeeping software makes it easier for you to file your own tax returns, it still comes with some risks that experienced accountants can mitigate.
Allow a trained accountant to guide you through the complications of tax codes and get it right the first time. If you are wondering what Tax code 1257L is check out our article.
Accountants are granted reassurance with Xero in a way they simply would not receive. You are put in charge of your own workflow and your client’s accounts and finances. Chartered accountants can become certified advisors within Xero (Xero Partner) and even find new clients.
As a Xero Partner, accountants are able to collaborate with the tool in order to grow their own accountancy institute.
As we mentioned previously, technology like Xero simplifies self-filing tax returns, but tax can be a risky business for clients without an accountant. It’s always worth investing in professional chartered accountants to ensure you have the right tax code, manage invoice data, and include everything you need.
Hiring the services of an accountant or accountancy company to help with managing your finances and accounting reduces your risk of having to invest even further down the line.
As a company, Xero’s got a great reputation for support whether you’re a client or an accountant. With their help centre, you can ask questions to learn Xero bookkeeping by yourself. You can also make use of Xero Training online to help you run your business, understand accounting software, practice, and get up to speed with your accounts.
While this amazing tool has lots of assistance for business owners, we still recommend hiring an accountant to ensure all your accounts are where they should be. An accountant will always keep up to date with Xero product news and updates, so you can focus on other things.
Xero accounting is better for smaller UK businesses with less accounting knowledge. This is because it’s lower cost, cloud-based, and allows faster access to any statements users may require.
Sage is the better accountancy tool in the industry for larger, more established UK businesses or companies. This is because Sage has more complex features, and deal with larger amounts of data or media. If you’re looking for a tool to manage a large account for an established company or association, we’d recommend Sage – and to hire the services of some Sage-savvy accountants.
