Cloud Accounting: Xero wins beauty parade
Whiting’s Start-up Group has undertaken a comprehensive review of 15 leading cloud accounting packages available for UK SME’s.  This review compared these web hosted software products under the following key criteria:

  • Training
  • Add-ons
  • Paying bills direct
  • Up-time
  • Direct bank statement feed
  • Back-up
  • Cost

Although Sage has the market brand awareness and Mamut has recently won all of the industry awards, Xero was adjudged the preferred solution. The Group were particularly impressed with Xero’s simplicity, ability to download bank statements, add-ons, comprehensive reporting and price.
