XERO cloud ACCOUNTING SPECIALISTS
With Making Tax Digital for income tax on the horizon, now is the time to move your accounts to the cloud. Approved Accounting delivers professional accountancy support using Xero, market-leading accounting software.
ONLINE CLOUD ACCOUNTING
Online accounting software is the biggest development in the industry for years and offers an ideal solution for small businesses. It has quickly grown to overtake traditional desktop accounting due to its many benefits, such as greater accuracy, ease of access, real-time reporting, and multiple-user capability.
XERO GOLD CHAMPION PARTNERS
Approved Accounting is a team of highly knowledgeable and experienced accountants. We are passionate about introducing small businesses to cloud accounting services. We have helped many of our small business customers successfully move to Xero accounting software over the past few years, earning us Gold Partner status.
A Steamlined Approach
We have chosen Xero as our preferred supplier, because we feel it is the most complete all-round product. Using Xero allows us to offer an intelligent, streamlined approach that benefits our customers. However, we are happy to support you with different software if it is the best for your business and we are adept at working with FreeAgent and QuickBooks.
Why you should use xero for your business
Xero accounting software is an excellent cloud-based solution, and we think it is the future of small business accounting.
It allows you to access and manage your accounts from anywhere on any device. It is known for its ease of use, making it simple to manage cash flow, pay bills, send invoices and manage expenses, for example.
Benefits of cloud-based accountancy software for small businesses:
Easy to use
Xero is intuitive and has a great interface, making it a pleasure to use.
Greater Accuracy
Xero negates the need for manual entry and therefore reduces the chance of human error.
Greater Control
You can log in to your Xero dashboard wherever you are, giving you greater control over your finances.
Greater Transparency
Xero gives you an accurate snapshot of your accounts at any point in time, helping you to make better business decisions.
Compatible with MTD
Xero makes it easy to submit VAT and tax returns to HMRC in line with MTD.
Xero ensures compliance with Making Tax Digital (MTD)
The government has already launched MTD for VAT, with MTD for income tax due to launch in April 2023. This means that it will be compulsory for self-employed sole traders to submit electronic quarterly reports and their annual income tax return to HMRC using approved software.
Crucially, Xero has VAT and tax planning functions that are compatible with MTD, which makes the process easy.

Watch our video on Xero accounting software
We are proud of our status as Xero accountants and have helped to pioneer its use in the UK. The company has grown rapidly in recent years and has 3million subscribers in over 180 countries, but our part in successfully introducing their software to UK businesses has not gone unnoticed!Â
Xero approached us and asked if they could make a case study video about the way we are using their online accounting software, how it is benefiting our customers and our own business.
They visited us to record the video, and released it along with a short article on their blog. It has also been shown to accountants at roadshows around the UK.
