by “They say its bad karma to speak ill of the dead…however, when the dead and Zombies seek to pull your business in to the business cemetery and bury you along with them its time to act.”
That was the opening sentence in our blog post from the weekend, and it resonated we got close to 3,700 hits on this one which is 10X the results from any prior post we have ever published..which means either all of you like Xero or you like Zombies! We aren’t about to argue with any of you or a zombie. What we see is that Xero is a winner and we are thrilled to announce that aBIZinaBOX has been added to the list of Xero Cloud Integrators in the United States.
There are a whole bunch of reasons to like Xero, many of them center around it being a thoroughly up to date application which is at home on the web, on a tablet or on a smart phone. Consider the options for mobile….Use Xero’s mobile apps to manage your business while you’re on the move. Reconcile, send invoices, add receipts and create expense claims – anywhere, anytime – on your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone.
- Make bank recs your morning ritual – Get a clear picture of your business and start the day with bank reconciliation from anywhere – even from bed.
- Chase overdue invoices from anywhere – Follow up those pesky outstanding invoices while you’re on the move, or over a coffee break.
- Job done, invoice sent, back on the road – Don’t wait until you’re back in the office – send an invoice as soon as the job is done while you’re out and about.
- Create expense claims on the go – No more hunting for receipts! It’s easy to take pictures of receipts on the go and create expense claims all from your mobile.

The core functionality that is built into the core Xero accounting application is greatly enhanced through the use of add-ons, applications that integrate with Xero to extend its features and functionality.
