If you’re a small business owner, you’ll know how painfully slow manual bookkeeping can be. And with VAT returns, Corporation Tax, and much more to think about, it’s a pretty boring slog.
You might think it’s a simple answer – hire a bookkeeper. But that doesn’t always make financial sense. So the solution? Software automation.
HOW IT WORKS
We’ve partnered with the online accounting software, Xero to provide digital solutions to your small business bookkeeping needs. Xero’s intuitive system saves you time whilst maintaining accurate and timely financial information. Here’s just how they do it.
Bank Feeds
This handy feature links your bank account to the Xero so you can upload information quickly and securely. By using AI like Intuit the system can analyse receipts and payments and allocate them to their correct destination.
Data input
Use technology like receipt bank to overhaul the way you input data. Simply scan your invoices and let the software input the information into the system.
Automated accounts payable
Process purchase invoices instantly, no matter how they arrive. Scan paper invoices or upload electronically via email and be advised on the due date. Then, simply approve and pay invoices in a few clicks.
