When getting started using Xero, you’ll soon wonder how you could manage without it. It’s our recommended software here at AFSolutions as we know how happy clients are when they can see their cash flow situation whenever they want, send online invoices, pay bills and run their businesses more effectively.
While we set up the basics for all new Xero clients, there are some key features you’ll want to know about from the very beginning so you can spend more time on your business and less time on your accounting. We’ve listed some of the most important below and encourage you to browse all the walk-through videos and all the starting out support articles.
