Problems it solves

“We need accounting software our bookkeeper will actually use”“How do I track grant money separately from donations in our accounts?”“Our spreadsheet accounting has become a mess and our treasurer is stressed”“Does Xero give charities a discount?”“We need to send invoices and claim back VAT as a charity”“I want bank transactions to import automatically so we stop typing them in”

About Xero+

Xero is online accounting software used by small businesses, charities and community groups, with local editions for the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US and other countries. It handles invoices, bills, bank feeds, bank reconciliation, VAT/GST and reporting, and Xero offers registered not-for-profits 25% off its standard plans. It is a general accounting tool rather than a dedicated fund accounting system, so restricted funds are usually tracked with tracking categories.

Pricing: US plans: Early US$27, Growing US$59, Established US$97 per month, with a promotional 80% off for the first 3 months. UK plans: Ignite £18, Grow £39, Comprehensive £55, Ultimate £70 per month ex VAT, with a promotional 90% off for the first 6 months. Prices differ by country; check your local Xero site.
