Is Xero Accounting Online Working For Your Construction Company?
Most Contractors Don't Want Drills, They want holes. To get holes they buy drills, drill bits, power cords, etc. Actually they don't even want holes; they want channels to run pipe, wire, bolts etc. In fact they don't want channels they just want to start and finish construction projects.
Most Contractors Don't Want Xero Accounting Online or any other construction accounting software they just want reports they can use to operate and grow their construction company. In fact most of our construction clients don't like any construction software including QuickBooks Desktop Version In The Cloud. Some hate it and a few see it as a necessary evil that must be tolerated. They just want reports and someone to interpret them and show them where they are making and losing money and why.
What Is Xero Accounting Online Doing Or Not Doing?
Every successful contractor seems to have followed a similar path. Start a Construction Company, hire a few friends and relatives and make one of them the office manager and bookkeeper. Then after a while fire some of the friends and relatives including the construction bookkeeper.
They assign one of them to be the office manager and show them how to log into Xero Accounting Online and if the office manager is lucky it is already setup and ready to go. In most cases it's not and they had to figure it out and they may have called the Xero Accounting Online help line.
Xero Accounting Online has an excellent support program with knowledgeable English speaking people and they are great for the basics; however, you are not likely to get someone with much knowledge or understanding of construction accounting. And it is not likely you will get the same support person the next time you call for help. Even if you did their expertise is setting up and using Xero Accounting Online for general business, not setting up and using it for your construction company.
Later when the contractor asks for a job costing report, retention summary or a work-in-progress report the contractor's bookkeeper gives that blank stare, deer in the headlights look and is overwhelmed, confused, dismayed and generally feeling as uncomfortable as long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
