Intro:
The BEST accounting software for small business owners is Xero Accounting.
I have used numerous accounting software over the past 13 years from desktop versions like MYOB, UBS and SAP to cloud accounting software like Quickbooks Online, Sage Accounting and Wave Accounting. And I think the BEST accounting software for small business owners that’s available in the market right now is Xero Accounting.
If we are just meeting, I’m Sharon Tay from Nuts Accounting and I’m a Xero certified advisor.
So let me show you what you will get from Xero Accounting and WHY I think it is the best accounting software for you.
Number 1: Cloud-based accounting software with unlimited users
Xero Accounting is a cloud-based accounting software with over 3.7 million subscribers across the world. You can easily access Xero Accounting anytime, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. No more restrictions on physical location or device. All you need to do is just go to Xero Accounting’s website and log in with your username and password.
If you have used desktop accounting software before, then you’ll know how difficult it is to keep your accounting software running smoothly. Updating your accounting software is difficult and requires a certain level of IT skills. The main problem with desktop accounting software is it frequently crashes. And when it happens, you are forced to load your last backup which could be last week or even last month and you have lost all the work that you’ve done after that backup. Now that I’m using Xero Accounting, I no longer worry about all these because it will always be the latest version.
Number 2: Unlimited users (Free!)
Here’s the good news. All Xero Accounting plans in Malaysia and Singapore comes with an unlimited number of user, for free! There are no additional charges for this. If you compare with Quickbooks Online, the maximum number of users for the most expensive plan is five users plus an accountant. So you can invite your business partners, employees, accountant and auditor to access your Xero Accounting and everyone can use it at the same time.

Number 3: Simplified complicated accounting tasks
Xero Accounting's advanced features simplified complicated accounting tasks for you. So even if you are not an accountant or you do not have formal education in accounting or bookkeeping, you can still do the advanced accounting stuff and close your books like an accountant. Some of the advanced features of Xero Accounting are inventory management system where Xero will track, calculate and record the cost of your inventory for you, fixed assets system where Xero will track, calculate and record the depreciation of your fixed assets, multi-currencies where Xero will automatically calculate and record the foreign currency gains or losses for you, create your own custom report if you can’t find what you need from the list of reports in Xero Accounting, basic HR payroll system where Xero Accounting will calculate your payroll and prepare payslips for you and SST or GST report where Xero will provide the report for your tax submission and if you are in Singapore, you can easily submit your GST return to IRAS directly from Xero.
And here’s something that you might not know. Currently, Xero Accounting is the ONLY cloud accounting software that comes with a fixed assets system and it’s free! Even the popular Quickbooks Online does not have this.

Number 5: Scalable with add-ons
All the Xero Accounting features that I have told you up until this point is free and it comes with your Xero Accounting subscription. But what I’m going to share with you is going to cost you additional payments. One thing I love about Xero Accounting is it is scalable with add-ons to support you and your business’s growing needs.
