    Xero Integration Project Cost Management

    I have been doing a fair bit of research tonight and Xero's Workflow Max seems like it might fit the bill. Also, should help us manage our processes. Is anyone familiar with Workflox Max? Any comments to add? Not much in the way of CFF, but gives a live snapshot of all projects from both a...

    Paying for overseas invoices

    Would we not be subject to someone else's exchange rate that way? Is it more efficient to just do a straight transfer in GBP from our bank or is a third party specialist or broker a more economical way? How do you normally do it?

    Virtual or e receptionist

    Hi all, Can anyone recommend a virtual or e receptionist? We need a service that answers incoming calls and then diverts them to the relevant person. We are considering both having a real person answering the phone or a recorded message with options to select. Cheers, J

    Insolvency Insurance

    I wanted to post an update on this one. Ended up sorting this with a reputable credit insurer. The visibility that I now have on current and potential customers is awesome.
