Great review. I too like the look of Xero (currently using QuickBooks, but I'll be damned if I have to spend $500 a year to keep it working in the current version of Windows), but Xero has the same problem! $50 a month is too much for a one-man, part time business.

Yo Bruce, just wanted to let you know that date handling is now able to be customized throughout the application ;)

I've never used any accounting software before, and have been using Xero for a few months now. I like it. It suits me well, nice and clean and simple. I'm frustrated by the lack of a statement function though, and the fact they're not going to ever add payroll means that MYOB would appeal more to businesses that actually plan to expand.

Thanks Chris, I'm checking it out now. I like the ...

Thanks Chris, I'm checking it out now. I like the price :-)

I'm not so sure about the write-one invoices, and it is frustrating that I can put the magic words "Tax Invoice" on my, well, tax invoices. This is a local requirement for >$1000 invoices.

Thanks for the pointer though. I will continue my evaluation.

Thanks Seth, you're a brave man to read all these reviews.

Thanks for the information on your upcoming features, I think that should cover all my concerns. I'm eager to see them.

Keep up the good work, as I've said before I know NZ is not your primary market but a general solution that works for NZ will cover a good percentage of other markets.

There will still be some markets that will cause you grief though. I'm not sure what a general solution to cope with sales taxes where they have a variety of tax rates for different products (as in Australia) AND/OR different taxes to apply (local and federal taxes).
NZ doesn't have this problem though :-)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment Seth. I'm checking back periodically.

Yo Bruce!

Great review, and thanks for being understanding with us during our development period.

As you mentioned, we just added time zone support to Cashboard this past week. It's actually part of our top secret i8n rollout. We're just releasing parts of it when they're done and tested, instead of waiting to drop everything at once.

Next on the list is full invoice and estimate customization via HTML/CSS. This should solve all of your "notes field" problems, and allow customers to change anything about the document including layout, colors, and even the language if they choose.

Afterwards will come custom date / time / money formats, followed by Google Checkout integration. GC should be great for our international customers without a US address.

Just wanted to let you know we are listening, and trying to get this done as soon as we can!
