Xero & AdHoc Consultancy to help review bookkeeping processes
The Problem: Xero’s great, but without a guide, you’re just guessing. Bookkeeping isn’t as simple as ads make it seem—it takes skill. I’ve had exeprience with clients who cliam they can do bookkeeping standing on their head, it’s no special skill involved in a ‘data entry’ roll, and then a month or so later the pennies drop and they realise the skills a proffessional bookkeeper has.
