    Xero - I assume they have an app?

    Saasu have an app - I use this for preparing my business BAS returns.

    I second that.
    Xero plus use the bank feed option and it makes accounting a 1 min job each day.

    Xero - there is a reason why we are a xero gold partner.

    Xero rocks. Reduces bookkeeping and data entry massively.

    Another vote for Xero here, although I've never used their app.

    Depends. Seeking a API or software or a third party integrated app that enables tools to quote, , trace inventory, invoice, track clients, expense or just income etc.....Speak to an accountant.

    Xero and all its competitors are functionally almost the same or similar and there is next to no difference between most except a function here or there. Its what you want that's key. ALL decent software does bank feeds assuming you use a dedicate bank account. eg Foreign currency, client invoices online access, payroll, purchases (incl foreign currency)etc...... I have a client who loves our $20pm software that does that and it has APIs to loads of other products - even Paypal, ebay, salesforce, eway, shopify and other onesaas ecommerce APIs and more.

    Or a $5pm cashbook option....And that comes with datafeed!

    @Paul@PFI curious what you would recommend for the $5 cashbooks? I'm using Xero for our main business and handle all the invoicing (via Harvest) and Payroll through it but it's complete overkill for my other business and Trusts etc which I just use Excel.

    I'd like a stripped out cash book type desktop (not interested in mobile specifically) software for tracking the other business & trust that I can run a P & L from at the end of the year. Any suggestions?

    Cheers.

    We have Sage One.... $5 per month with data feed (using your login to your bank, not the third party vendor method) but is not available to the public other than through Sage Certified Advisers. No payroll of course. Ironically the cashbook version can also handle invoicing, receivables and payables
