"Clean Dashboard and Fast Bank Reconciliation Make Accounting Straightforward"
4/5
What do you like best about Xero?

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.

What do you dislike about Xero?

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.

"User-Friendly Interface, Packed with helpful Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

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.

What do you dislike about Xero?

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.

"Clean and powerful accounting software experience (with a few quirks)"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

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.

What do you dislike about Xero?

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.

"Clean, Cloud-Based Accounting That Saves Time with Seamless Integrations"
4/5
What do you like best about Xero?

I like Xero’s clean, user-friendly dashboard and its cloud-based accessibility. It makes day-to-day accounting simpler with features such as automated bank feeds, straightforward invoice management, and seamless integrations with over 1,000 apps, which saves a lot of time and helps reduce manual errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

The biggest drawback is the lack of direct inbound phone support, which can slow down urgent issue resolution. On top of that, the built-in inventory management is fairly basic, and getting access to key features such as multi-currency support requires upgrading to their most expensive pricing tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Xero of Xero

Thanks for the great review, Youssef! We're so pleased to hear Xero is helping simplify your day-to-day accounting. We also appreciate your feedback on phone support and inventory management - we'll be sure to pass them on to the team.

"Clean, powerful accounting that saves hours of manual work"
5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

Honestly, the best thing about Xero is how clean and intuitive the dashboard feels. I don’t need a background in finance to understand my cash flow and keep everything organized. The real game-changer for us has been the automated bank reconciliation, which makes staying on top of transactions much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

The biggest drawback for me is their customer support setup. It relies heavily on email and support tickets, so if you run into an urgent issue or need immediate help with a reconciliation error, you can’t just pick up the phone and reach a live person right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the great review, Muntasir! Glad to hear Xero is helping simplify your financial workflows and save you time. We also appreciate your feedback on our support experience, and we'll be sure to pass it on to the team. 💙

"Efficient Financial Oversight with Ease of Use"
4/5
What do you like best about Xero?

I like Xero because of its ease of use and clear financial reporting. It provides quick access to accurate financial information, making budgeting and decision-making much more efficient. The interface is easy to navigate, helping me understand our financial position quickly without needing specialized accounting expertise. As someone involved in organizational governance and oversight, this ease of access to financial information is really valuable for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Finding specific settings or understanding the full range of customization options requires additional guidance. If Xero offered more contextual help inside setting pages, such as short tooltips, guided walkthroughs, search within setting function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Bookkeeping on the Go with Xero"
5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

I like that Xero is so easy to use for my bookkeeping needs. It helps me keep everything tidy and organized, which is great-- I don't have a lot of staff, I sort of have to take care of everything, not just bookkeeping. The app portion is very handy because it lets me manage my invoices on the go, without being tied to my office or store. I can clear payments while waiting to pick up my daughter after school or at night in bed when I can't sleep. I also appreciate how straightforward it is to clear my payments and match them to bills, as it integrates seamlessly with my bank accounts and charges and remembers prior classifications. Plus, it connects almost flawlessly with Square, which is essential for running my business. I find the screens attractive and the interface more appealing compared to alternatives like QuickBooks for a similar price. It's just a good deal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Occasionally, the feed from Bank of America drops and I have to restart it. It happens maybe once a year, but it's a very easy fix. Xero walks you right through how to reconnect to a bank that is dropped. I'm uncomfortable using AI for my bookkeeping, so I don't love that Xero is pushing some AI help.

"Xero Makes Everyday Accounting Simple and Organized"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

What I like best about Xero is how simple it makes everyday accounting. I regularly use it for invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation, and everything is easy to find. The dashboard gives me a quick overview of my cash flow, which saves time and helps me stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

The reporting section took me a little time to get used to, and I'd like more flexibility to customize reports. The pricing can also feel a bit expensive if you're a small business, but overall it works well once everything is set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Accounting with Room for Improvements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Xero?

I like Xero because it's easy to use and can generate reports for presenting data from my clients. I appreciate the feature called JAX, which suggests what transaction matches in the bank statement line. This is particularly helpful as my clients have lots of transactions, and it saves a lot of time by suggesting matched transactions based on previous ones. The setup was straightforward too, as it only involved importing data and the chart of accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

I find JAX to be too aggressive sometimes, especially when it auto reconciles sales invoices that are mismatched. Another issue is when importing bank statements in a template, Xero sometimes puts data in the wrong column even though the template is correct. Additionally, there are times when I click a certain command, and Xero executes a different command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xero?

Xero has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that makes everyday accounting tasks much simpler. Features such as automated bank reconciliation, invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting help save a significant amount of time. Because it’s cloud-based and accessible from anywhere, and it also supports a wide range of third-party integrations, it works well for businesses of different sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Some of the more advanced functionalities are only available on higher-priced plans, and new users may need a bit of time to get familiar with all the features. Customer support can occasionally take longer than expected to respond, and certain customization options feel limited compared with more complex accounting platforms.
