Maree Maxfield recently highlighted the fact that Xero is not able to handle organisations with a year-end date that does not also fall on a month-end date. So 31st March works fine - but if your business makes up its accounts to 15th March every year, you have a problem.

Problem is that some people cancel their subs s/o and not notify the society, who need to monitor o/s amounts…

News is just coming through from the other side of the planet (New Zealand and the ONYAs to be precise) that Xero has won three out of the four awards it was nominated for, namely “Most Outstanding Website”, “Best User Experience” and “Best Web Application”. They missed out on “Most Innovative” but, hey, this is accounting software we’re talking about.
