How to use XERO (2023)

UPDATE - After making this video I was approved for the Xero affiliate program. If you'd like to give Xero a try then here is my new affiliate link: xeroamericas.grsm.io/ck90eoq1r6tu

This was a very quick and thorough overview of Xero. Being an accountant already that uses QB, I feel I could head right into Xero with ease now if I need it for a client. Thank you for this great overview. Your narration was spot on as well for my comprehension.

[@RosieRosen4]

Dude thank you for making a video on Xero! My firm uses it on the regular so this will be very helpful!

[@AccountingStuff]

No problem Noah! Hope you find it useful :)

Brother your way of Teaching is very impressive. 4 years in college < 20 minutes of your videos worth more. Your video is very helpful for us for cracking interviews 😅. ❤ From Pakistan 🇵🇰

Awesome video James! I'm about up to speed with the Xero basics now - what about a video about understanding the numbers/figures in Xero? I'm looking for a deeper dive into the report functions? The organisation I'm working with makes money on each job but is not turning a profit so i need to use xero to figure it out!

[@donproctor3445]

So, I receive a check that often includes payment for multiple invoices to the same customer for different jobs. (99% of inv billed to 1 customer ) I've been using QB, which has a receive payment button, just select a customer, and then invoices for that customer and make amount changes. The check is then kept in the deposit balance until I record the deposit. I don't see how it's done in Xero. It appears to go directly into the checking account for each inv. Also, can I import my QB file into Xero? I canceled my subscription to QB because they were screwing me on price and holding me hostage to my software which has now been deactivated by them TOTAL BS! So I need a new system.

Hi. I knew Accounting Stuff 3 years ago, and now I know about this Xero video. This is a fantastic summary. But I wanna dive deeper. Do you recommend any online (and free preferably as I'm broke) courses about Xero I can follow? Thank you so much.

[@PJMcInerney]

Not sure about free xero course but there are loads of free videos out there plus you can ‘trial’ xero for a month without paying anything

[@youtuber.9624]

Hi James, Do you have a video that explains the accounting standards (GAAP & IFRS)? If not, can you make one, please? Thank you.

[@AccountingStuff]

I haven't made a video on that topic yet. Thanks for suggesting it to me :)

[@youtuber.9624]

@@AccountingStuff Please do. It's very important for us. Thank you.

[@headlibrarian1996]

If I’m small enough for Xero to make sense why would I bother with either hideously complex accounting standard? Keep your books according to the tax system you find yourself in.

[@LaOvejaSepia]

Hey bro, thank you for your amazing content, I'm new in this niche and I'll love to understand the basics. I've a question (could be pretty basic) but I don't quite undertand the difference between the Chart of accounts and the general ledger, can you plese help me with that? Thanks again bro. Blessings and have a wonderful life :)

[@accountingstuff7625]

👆

[@PJMcInerney]

The Chart of accounts is just a list of all categories (eg Fixed Assets could be one category) in the Accounting records - it does not include amounts. Transactions are recorded in the General Ledger. Hope that helps

Hey, this is amazing but is it any different to the Australian Zero? If so, can you state the differences and maybe make a video using the Australian one?

[@accountingstuff7625]

👆✍️

[@PJMcInerney]

Dont think there is a big difference Alison - of course currency plus tax rates will be different but other than that pretty similar

[@headlibrarian1996]

Xero doesn’t support US tax accounting as well as it does Australian. It doesn’t support US MACRS depreciation for example, which is close to but not quite identical with double declining balance.

[@grazstarr]

Yeah but you don't explain anything... this is like the briefest overview ever. When you enter a bill you just skimmed over the process, you didn't teach anything, the website itself is as explanatory as this video is. There's a drop down called "item" when you enter a bill. You have to choose a number. What's the number for? What number do you put in? You just went past that super fast without explaining anything. Coooooool thanks for the help on how to use xero.

[@PJMcInerney]

If I remember correctly that drop down relates to products / if you have saved some of the more common products you sell you could then find them in drop down list - just saves you time entering them

[@preciousannecantaros6038]

Hello sorry for interrupting But Jesus died for your sins and he wants you to be with him eternally in heaven, Jesus died for your sins and paid the penalty for your sins. You only have to repent and accept him as your personal Savior and Lord. Romans 10:9 If you declare/confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your whole heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. [ Say that loud on your prayer+ repent and Accept Jesus in your heart ]

[@AccountingStuff]

What don't you like about it?

[@ReNeu60]

@@AccountingStuff How confusing and difficult it is to navigate. Like most videos they seem to rely on a user signing into a bank account which i don't do. In other apps I can enter my expenses and income quickly and access what account to send it to. I tried the app for 2 days and still could not make a transaction. Wave and zoho are much easier. Wave is a bit limited I kinda wish I would have found zoho earlier as it has projects but now I no longer need that. I have used simply accounting and quickbooks back when you installed them. I am not new to book keeping software but I can't get my head around how to use xero.
