Introducing Xero with MSOL

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010


This month, with the assistance of simPRO Authorised Partner – mSOL, Acorn Software launched the new Xero Accounting Link software for simPRO.  Hailed as “the world’s easiest accounting system”, Xero is an entirely web-based program that has enabled Acorn Software to offer a complete “cloud” package of online Job Management and Accounting software.

Now you really can manage your entire business from anywhere!

As a special End of Financial Year offer, if you subscribe to Xero with mSOL before the end of May, you’ll get your May and June subscription FREE.  A great way to familiarise yourself and your staff with a new system before that 30 June “crunch time”!

END-OF-MONTH – Simple Accounting Procedures that You Should be Doing!

“How can I be assured that the financial data in simPRO matches our accounts program?”

This is one of the most common questions I get from concerned bookkeepers and Accountants regarding the use of simPRO.
