Bookkeeping
Reduce the Load

Business Systems & Automation
Unleash your potential
We are focused on helping our clients realise operational efficiencies & automating processes. We are experienced in a wide range of Accounting Systems and will happily work with your current software but we’ll admit it - we do have a soft spot for Xero.
XERO in on your business
Xero is the best thing to happen to accounting software in 20 years. If you're not using Xero for your accounting, you're missing out.
We are now implementing Xero with virtually all our business clients. As a result, Jog Consulting is (at the time of writing) a Xero Bronze Partner in QLD and edging towards Xero Silver status.
This means when you get started with Xero with us, you're not only in expert hands, you're dealing with an accountant who is enthusiastic and keen to help and train you in how to best use Xero.And enthusiasm counts. We are passionate about this brilliant, time-saving, stress-reducing piece of technology.
If you're anything like our clients who have switched to Xero already, we know you'll be just as enthusiastic as we are about how easy and pleasurable Xero is to use.
Here are 10 reasons we know you will love Xero and love getting started on Xero with us:
- Version control issues, gone - Thismeans you can say good-bye to the related hassle of 'which is the up-to-date version of the data file again'?
- Real-time speed - Being online and always knowing you (and we) are working with the most recent version of your accounting data. You call up with a question, we log in with a few clicks, look at your Xero at the same time you are, and answer your questions on the spot. Easy! And fast.
- Data entry drastically reduced - Data entry is so last century. Why, in this day and age, when all the transaction data (amounts, account name, supplier/customer info, etc.) is already available in your banking data, should you have to manually re-enter it into your accounting software? Or even have to do a clumsy export of a CSV file and then upload it? Clunky! What a waste of your time and money! (Plus that manual data entry introduces plenty of chances for human error.) Xero automatically brings 'live feeds' of your bank account and credit card transaction data straight in. No keyboards touched. No download chore. No upload chore. Go have a glass of wine or put your feet up instead.
- Better decision-making - A modern business needs information that is real-time, always up-to-date. How else can you make effective business decisions?
- Mobility, flexibility and lifestyle - You'll love this one. You can access your accounting data and management dashboard in Xero from anywhere, from any device with an internet connection. You can see your individual account balances, outstanding invoices, overall cash position, and more. These days, you can run your business from an iPad or similar tablet device. Xero have a great iPhone and mobile app too. This means you can have a more flexible lifestyle in running your business, and have certainty over the financials and banking when you are not physically present in your business.
- Expense claims simplified - Speaking of which ... Xero lets you take photos of your receipts for easy inclusion in your (and your team members') expense claims. That is so efficient and avoids the accumulation of lots of receipts. Again, real-time is the key. And easy.
- Data entry slashed, again - The 'Rules' function in Xero is very clever. You can easily train Xero to know that certain types of transactions should be coded (according to your Chart of Accounts) in certain ways. It's smart enough to be flexible. Amounts can change, the wording in the transaction can change, but as long as there are certain keywords or other criteria (such as paid with a particular credit card) in a Rule, then Xero codes all such transactions automatically from then on. Go on. Grab another wine. You have time now.
- Free online support - Xero includes free online support and their training resources are world class. This means it's easy to find answers and get up to speed with Xero. We include training in our package when we get you started with Xero. This makes sure you get off on the right foot with your Xero implementation.
- Better communication - We find that Xero encourages better communication and a closer relationship between bookkeeper and client. The ease of logging in together, looking at the same data together, and moving at speed just makes everything work so smoothly.
- The innovation keeps coming - Xero just keeps innovating. With cloud-based applications like Xero, you never have to manually run software updates (or bother with data back-ups!). Xero just updates the software and backs-up your data for you. That's two more hassles removed from your life. Every 3 to 6 weeks Xero does a new software release with new and improved features. Who ever thought accounting software could be so good?
