Xero's online accounting system helps small businesses run a smarter, leaner operation - in the office, on the road and even at Everest base camp.

In business the question of how to be more efficient is a constant challenge. Xero's online accounting software is helping real businesses streamline their in-house operations and do much more on the move.

Take Xero's web-based accounting software and the case of Mako Networks. After switching to online accounting with Xero, CEO Bill Farmer can be anywhere in the world and still know the exact financial position of his UK business. All he has to do is log on to Xero's web-based accounting system from a web browser and access the information in real time.

"Planning is paramount, and to have access to up-to-date key financial information is critical. Xero gives us a simple but highly effective way to manage our accounts, and gives us financial information we need wherever we are in the world. It's all about simplicity and knowing what's happening on a daily basis," he says.

For Mark Inglis, the first double amputee to summit Everest, switching to online accounting with Xero has delivered nothing but benefits. A climber, businessperson, motivational speaker and founder of charity Limbs4all, he is constantly traveling internationally and admits to not having an accounting brain.

In the past processing his 100-200 expense claims a month fell to wife Anne when he got home. With Xero's web-based accounting software he enters them online from the road and nothing gets missed. He also loves being able to easily create and send out an invoices immediately he finishes a speaking engagement.

"I can use Xero at base camp Everest and across Tibet. There are few places in the world that I haven't been able to get online and work," he says.

"Our New Zealand based bank accounts are automatically updated in Xero, which is extremely helpful for us when I'm travelling. With everything online, both Anne and I always know where things stand, even when we're in opposite time zones."
