SaaS application that streamlines your accounting, invoicing, and payroll needs of your business.

By Ava Daruwalla | August 27, 2021

In the past, accounting software was complex and cumbersome. It was generally more suitable for large enterprises than small businesses. Now, there’s a huge range of accounting software that’s been designed especially for small businesses and the self-employed owners. Many of the products are not very expensive (or even completely free like Xebra).

This type of a cloud accounting software is designed to make it easy for you to manage your business finances, helping you with things like bookkeeping, invoicing, purchase orders, inventory, and payroll. The product you pick will usually include reporting tools as well, so you can track your cash flow and monitor your profit and loss, for example.

And with cloud accounting software’s like Xebra now in full force, businesses need to make an informed choice about the accounting application they use to keep digital records and send tax returns. There are several biz-finance applications now days that you can use to manage your accounts, invoicing and or even automated payroll needs.

I am here to help you make an informed decision and save you a lot of time!

If you consider the popularly known application Tally, you may also want to investigate similar alternatives or competitors to find the best biz-finance software suited to your business needs. Horizontal SaaS-based products are a widely used technology, and many people seek popular, easily administered software solutions with accounting, invoicing, sales forecasting, and workforce management. You need to understand a lot of factors when you are thinking of switching to a cloud account software.

The sheer number of programs and providers available can make it hard to compare accounting software, let alone choose a package to suit your needs. I have taken a look at some of the best-known financing options for small businesses. Modern accountancy packages tend to be cloud accounting software, so they should work fine whether you use a Mac or PC and most of these programs are mobile-friendly too.

Many of the paid subscription services I have mentioned below in this blog offer a free trial (usually one month/ except Xebra offers a forever free simple plan as well) when you first sign up so you can try it out to see if it suits your needs. However, if you decide to buy, bear in mind that the prices shown usually may not include VAT. There are a number of banking terms that are crucial to running a successful business, click here for a short refresher.

Other essential factors to consider when researching for business finance software’s include features and business needs. We have compiled a list of solutions that users voted as the best overall alternatives and competitors to the well-known Tally.

We have done an in-depth analysis on three fast-growing cloud accounting softwares:

Some central qualities in an application that will help you find a solution for all your financial requirements include flexibility, collaboration, connected, trusted/ reliable and mainly automation. It is also essential to know about your taxes and how much are you supposed to pay for your small business.

Although there are many other biz-finance applications, I think these 3 are the most effective for several reasons that will be covered throughout this article.

Software #1- Xebra

Xebra offers a variety of biz-finance solutions for your business needs. It is a unified Analytics, Financial & Banking platform that gives an instant, accurate and comprehensive view of the entire business performance. As a result, it helps entrepreneurs unlock growth opportunities at every stage of their business journey. Please feel free to check out Xebras company history here.

Xebra is mainly categorized into Business, Financial, Human Resource and Social Solutions. It is a unified application that merges business insights, invoicing, purchase, expense, asset, inventory, payroll, HRMS, tax, bank and accounting, all into one application, making it easy to navigate and extremely user friendly.

Xebra also has an extremely strict privacy policy and rest assured all your documents and data is extremely secure.

Xebra is designed for small businesses & start-ups to help them with:

  • Consolidated view of your business performance
  • Real-time & accurate data interpretation to unlock growth
  • Get rid of handling multiple software, vendors and log-ins
  • Generate more time to build client relationships

Xebra helps you understand your revenue growth on Month-to-Date and Year-to-Date basis. You can get pie graphs to understand your client/item wise revenue break-up. You can also map your revenue in company or client particulars with your last year figures and your upcoming targets to get an in-depth analysis.

Besides that, Xebra helps identify your top profitable clients by mapping their credit history. It provides a quick check on the client-wise outstanding amount and the exact number of days since it is pending. This data is further split at an invoice level dues for effortless follow-ups with clients.

Additionally, Xebra also does a real-time risk analysis of your company. As a result, it gives you a deep understanding and actionable guide on the nature of clients to take course correction by re-deploying your resources to more profitable clients. This, in turn, also helps make your business extremely profitable.

It provides you with real-time visibility on your company's cash flow and calculates cash runway. For example, you can improve your cash flow by up to 25% by taking immediate course correction steps. I know, right! Further, it also displays immediate receipts and payments for the next two months.

Few Top Features:

1. Increase profits without additional expenses

Not every client or item is equally profitable. Xebra’s Opportunity Quadrantä maps the variables so you can make data-driven decisions

Further, Xebra gives you several pie-charts department-wise and salary break-up for better resource understanding. You can analyze each graph with your teammates by tagging them in your comments and set monthly or quarterly alerts for revenues to ensure that you are on track to achieving your annual goals.

You can also make GST compliant e-invoices using Xebra. It is entirely Indian-ised to suit our billing processes with clients, account receivables &, more importantly, TDS & GST compliance. So you can carry out the Government of India mandated e-invoicing for your company. Xebra makes it invoicing easier with a simple one-click feature to convert your invoice into an e-invoice and get an instant QR code and IRN number on your invoice.

Furthermore, it supports multiple currencies for recording domestic and international vendors. You can record one time or recurring expenses for utilities that will save a massive amount of your time. In case of multiple GSTIN numbers in your company, you can easily select the desired one from the top bar and record business expenses under that particular GSTIN.

No more problem of resending invoices to clients as they can download them directly from the Xebra portal. Clients can get a real-time status of the amount they owe you and get a real-time statement of account on the receipt status. Clients can also check and download their relevant credit notes, with a one-click view for them, with the TDS amount deducted and payable. Similarly, all the above features are in the vendor portal as well. Lastly, you can provide or take away access to your current & past clients with a simple on/ off toggle switch.
