WHY XERO ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE?

Here at Kara Accountants, we believe in making accounting as simple and easy as possible for our clients. Accounting is part of any business but we know that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea – which is why we try to make it as pleasant an experience as possible!

With the Making Tax Digital initiative that is being rolled out by HMRC, we understand the need for businesses and individuals to have their accounting in digital format, along with the vision we have in making that simple. That is why we recommend Xero Accounting Software to our clients. We believe that it provides everything that a business needs, at the touch of a button, to complete their accounting duties.

There are many features of Xero, so let’s look at a few that will help your business:
