Bookkeeping That Actually Tells You Something: Setting Up Xero for Your Business

Xero is only useful if it's set up to match how your business actually works.

Most businesses have a chart of accounts that doesn't reflect how they operate, bank feeds that haven't reconciled in months, and reports they don't know how to read. So Xero becomes a data-entry chore instead of something that tells you anything. Orianne D Silva, Accountant at Lawpath, covers how to set Xero up properly: chart of accounts, tracking categories, bank rules, payroll integration, and how to pull reports that give you a real picture of the business.
