How to get the most out of Xero right from the start

You are here: Home / Xero / How to get the most out of Xero right from the start

January 21, 2020 By intyahmed

When you start using Xero, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. We’re big fans here at Taxlab and know how happy clients are when they can see their cash flow situation whenever they want, send online invoices, pay bills and run their businesses more effectively.

While we set up the basics for all new Xero clients, there are key features you’ll want to know about from the very beginning so you can spend more time on your business and less time on your accounting. We’ve listed some of the most important below and encourage you to browse all the walk-through videos and all the starting out support articles.

Understanding the dashboard

Get to know the Xero Dashboard that displays all of your most important financial information, including money coming in and going out, invoices owed to you and bills you need to pay. Find out how to use the dashboard, customise it, and find shortcuts for daily tasks.

Confirming settings
