Job costing done simply

Reporting is limited to what Xero gives you, and no resource planning if you need to schedule the work as well. Costs come from real supplier bills, not numbers typed into a spreadsheet, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Costs come from real supplier bills, not numbers typed into a spreadsheet.

Cons

Reporting is limited to what Xero gives you.

Good costing, not planning

Mixed. We finally know which jobs make money rather than guessing, but for utilisation analysis you will want a dedicated tool.
