Most business owners believe that their Xero file is working great but when given the opportunity to have an in-depth review, certain issues arise.
In this episode of Profit First For Tradies, I talk about a business myth I constantly see on new clients - my Xero file is fine… isn’t it? It may seem like a simple problem but a chaotic Xero file causes heaps of trouble for so many trades business owners.
Some Xero files may look okay at first glance but when a comprehensive review is completed, it’s bound to bring more issues in the future. And this calls for a repair.
The three most common issues business owners deal with in their Xero files are cashflow problems, thinking that they always have time to fix issues later, and having not having an idea where to start.
Although Xero has been around for quite some time, I still see disastrous Xero files. Here at Profit First For Tradies, we want to help you identify what’s wrong, fix the issue, and keep more of your hard-earned money.
In this episode of the Profit First for Tradies, you’ll learn the following:
Common bookkeeping issues from clients (01:52)
Three main problems that arise when doing a Xero review (03:59)
Cash flow issues (04:10)
The detrimental effects of the"fix-it-later" mindset (04:52)
Trainees don't have an idea where to start (06:00)
Xero is an amazing bookkeeping program, I personally have used this for over 11 years in business. However, when your Xero file is not reviewed regularly, you’re risking the business of wasted time and money.
