Xero Training in South West London

Every business uses Xero differently, so our sessions are practical and flexible. They cover what your business needs to do in Xero.

Xero is one of the most powerful cloud accounting platforms available. But like many tools, it’s only as effective as the way you use it.

Blue Dot Consulting are Xero partners and we help businesses of all shapes and sizes unlock the full potential of Xero through bespoke training sessions run with your people using your transactions working in your Xero account.


Why Invest in Xero Training?

Xero is designed to make accounting simpler — but many business owners only scratch the surface of what it can do for them. A short, focused training session can help you to:

  • Save time by automating routine tasks such as bank receipts and payments, invoicing and payroll
  • Get real-time insights into your business’s performance with dashboards and custom reports
  • Improve accuracy by reducing manual data entry and errors
  • Collaborate easily with your accountant or finance team online
  • Make better business decisions using up-to-date financial information

When you understand what Xero can do — and how to use it effectively — you can focus on what really matters: growing your business.

Aged debtors report in Xero

Like most accounting software, the standard presentation of aged debtors is in alphabetical order – which is as useful as a chocolate teapot!

If you sell on credit terms to customers then you need an Aged Debtors report in Xero to help manage your debtors.

Like most accounting software, the standard presentation of aged debtors is in alphabetical order – which is as useful as a chocolate teapot!

Anyone doing credit control needs to see the largest balances first so they can concentrate on the biggest debtors and collect the most money.

And any negative balances also need to jump off the page and get themselves resolved – which is great because they will appear at the bottom of our report.

Why is the order of the aged debtors report such a well-kept secret?

Most users will want to run an aged debtors report in Xero so why is the trick of changing the order of the report such a well-kept secret?

No idea – but you now know so please make use of it and share the knowledge.

Are you getting the most out of Xero?

It’s great software but are you getting what you need from Xero in order to run your business profitably and efficiently?

  • Is all of your data being entered accurately and in good time?
  • Are all of your bank transactions accounted for or do some stay in the bank feed?
  • Do you have customised reports (like aged debtors) that will improve business performance?

We run bespoke Xero training for businesses which is tailored to fit like a glove. We use your live data and your Xero file – because it’s your business!

The starting point is a half-day training session which costs £300 plus VAT. This can be at your business or our office.

If further sessions are required then we can agree them as we go.

We also work with you if you need some ad hoc support – we’re happy to run short sessions on Teams / Zoom to help you get the best from Xero.
