So What has XERO & Wise Sync done for Virage IT

Moving from MYOB - One of the key drivers of moving to Xero was the portability. Tired of the performance of MYOB, Xero provided a simple to use interface, with more focus on keeping data up-to-date, by reducing the wait for key information such as bank statements to allow for reconciliation.

• Statements rarely (actually never) sent, only delinquent debtors (120+ days)

• Average Aged Debtor Days 60 days before questions asked.• Bank Statements Reconciled Monthly• Limited understanding of ‘where things were’ from a bookkeeping

perspective.

Pre Xero (06/30/2012)

• Aged debtors < 45 days• Invoices sent on 1st, Payments Received on 7th , Statements Sent on 15th

with up to the minute payment information.• Ability to have intelligent discussions around overall business performance,

rather than just on sales.
