NEW FORMAT. NEW INSIGHTS.
In October this year, we put two accounting giants, Sage & Xero, in the ring to battle it out for the cloud accounting platform heavyweight crown.
The OnlineX audience could not decide between these accounting software giants, as the vote was split 50/50 down the line.
The time for the much-anticipated rematch has arrived. And to spice things up a bit,we’ve invited the pretender to the throne, QuickBooks, to shake things up a bit.
So, if you’re feeling confused and conflicted about which accounting software is best for your business, then worry no more. Our next ‘Versus’ webinar will tell all.
