Cutting through the bull
Philip Duncan from Crazyhorse The Steakhouse says Xero makes his job easier and saves him time because of its automatic features.
Philip is Office Manager for Crazyhorse The Steakhouse - the prominent Wellington eatery that has been acclaimed as 'New Zealand's finest steakhouse'.
Philip's old system was inefficient and often he found himself having to re-do the books.
"Under the old system I had to self-generate reports and manually enter my data which meant I used to spend hours doing it."
"Xero's got all the stuff we need. It cuts through feature bloat and it's steamlined. It's perfect for us."

Philip uses Xero for invoices, depositing of takings, and for generating reports.
The GST report generator is re-inventing the way Philip does his accounting – it's his favourite function
"It's made so easy- you can see the report on the computer and then print the page exactly how it looks. With the generator I don't have to wait 'til the end of the month to sort out my GST, I can do it whenever!
"Xero performs this quickly and I can look at it more often."
Philip also likes Xero's focus on features that businesses like his needs.
"Xero's got all the stuff we need and none of the stuff we don't need. It cuts through 'feature bloat' and it's streamlined. It's perfect for us."
