Xero

Online accounting software for small businesses covering invoicing, online payments, bills, expenses and bank reconciliation.

ToolScout view

Xero suits a small business that wants invoices, payments and bank reconciliation in the same place. The manufacturer documents branded invoice templates, sending by email, SMS or PDF, a Pay now button and automated reminders that chase late payers. Bank accounts connect to Xero, and on the Growing plan and above its JAX assistant categorizes and matches transactions. The practical question is plan fit: the entry plan caps invoices, so confirm volumes before choosing.

Before you choose: Send three real invoices with a Pay now button, connect one bank account and check which plan your monthly invoice volume and reconciliation needs require.
