Posts to the ledger automatically

Sharing one audit trail with the accounts made year end simpler, and the pay run posts straight to the ledger so there is no journal to key. Moving past your tier headcount costs more than expected, but we live with it.

Pros

Sharing one audit trail with the accounts made year end simpler.

Cons

Moving past your tier headcount costs more than expected.

Works because it is inside Xero

The pension provider connection to NEST just worked, and sharing one audit trail with the accounts made year end simpler. No complaints so far.

The per person allowance is easy to misread when you are growing.

Fine up to a point

Auto enrolment assessment runs each period without me remembering. Only real gripe is that the per person allowance is easy to misread when you are growing.

Employees help themselves now

Employees update their own details and request holiday in the app. Only real gripe is that a bureau would find it too light.
