Why Xero

See where the business is, now.

Xero updates in real time, so you are not waiting on a month-end pack to find out how trading went. Reports and budgets are interactive and shareable, on a dashboard you can arrange around what you actually look at. A lot of it automates: bank feeds come in on their own, invoice reminders chase for you, and repeated entries stop being a job.

Bills and payments

Pay your bills on time, every time.

01

See what is owed

An overview of unpaid bills, expenses and purchase orders in one view.

02

Know what stage each is at

Bills in draft, waiting for approval, or ready to be paid.

03

Pay in one transaction

Settle multiple bills to one supplier in a single payment.

04

Reviews from Google
Matthew Lees We Are Smile Ltd

Before Onyx we didn’t really have a clue where we stood from one day to the next. They helped us take financial control of the business — and gave us real insight into running it better.

James Ellis Do More Daily Ltd

Diligent, fast to respond, and they go the extra mile. They made us fully compliant and fixed errors I didn’t know were there. A very positive move from my previous accountants.

Anoupvir Nandra Rock Dental Ltd

Eight years in, they still go well beyond compliance — strategic advice, quick answers, and a genuine eye on opportunities that benefit us.

Questions

Questions we get asked.

Can you move us to Xero from another system?

Yes. We take your opening balances and history across, reconnect the bank feeds, and check the first month carefully before you rely on it.

It can be, though it is not automatically the cheapest answer for a very small business. We will tell you if something simpler would do the job.

Yes, Xero is MTD compatible. We cover what MTD means for you on the Making Tax Digital page.

You have a named client advisor to go back to. Most people have a handful of questions once they have used it properly for a few weeks, which is the useful moment for a follow-up.
