Xero Developments, Tiktok And More

I attended an event last week called Xero Refresh, which was for their bookkeepers and accountants community, where they let us know plans in the pipeline. They also gave us a few top tips and tricks too, and it is so true that you don't know what you don't know ...

I learned a little trick about using bank rules together with cash coding. I'm now planning a video to show this to my followers so make sure you subscribe to my Silicon Bullet Youtube channel to keep getting the top tips on bookkeeping in general and Xero and Sage in particular.

I am also adding bookkeeping tips content (along with cute videos of Daisy our dog) to TikTok too so if you are on that platform then find Aly Mead and follow me there!

"We also learned about a new Artificial Intelligence innovation called Just Ask Xero or JAX for short!"

This will be an AI support tool where you can talk to your Xero software in plain English asking things like "how much money am I owed at the moment?", or "add this item to quote number 425" via tools like WhatsApp to make interacting with your accounts software while on the go much easier.

They also reminded us that using Hubdoc to upload documents like purchase invoices and receipts is free for any Xero Business Subscription, even their cheapest monthly one for around £16 per month plus VAT, and you can upload receipts via an app or via email.

So, if you are a frustrated bookkeeper who never gets the paperwork from your clients maybe spending a little time showing them how Hubdoc works or getting the app on their phone could help you in the long run.

If you feel you are not getting the most out of your accounts software and might need a hand-holding session to learn the new features or if you want someone to look over what you are doing and suggest improvements then do get in touch and arrange a session.
