Xero for Professional Services

If you are a doctor, lawyer, architect, engineer or consultant, working in these professional services industries can have unique challenges.

Often it involves multiple clients, perhaps different ways of billing. It can be hard to keep track of income and expenses.

Managing your accounts can be quite a headache because of the complex nature of each professional services business.

What many people in this area are looking for is ways to reduce their accounting workload to let them concentrate on their expert area.

What does your business need?

Depending which sector you work in, professional services businesses will have different requirements.  From an accounting perspective you may need to:

  • Bill based on time, a particular project, work completed or a different method.
  • Run cash flow reports, to keep your business running healthily.
  • Integrate with online payment systems such as paypal for quick and easy payment.
  • Have the ability to scale up the operation as you grow.
  • Track the value of each piece of work, and keep an eye on profitability
  • Make growth forecasts to give insight into your business.
