You can also quote, or bill, and download attachments to the contact record all in the one place! The ability to push files out of Xero into Google Sheets and Docs is also a massive timesaver for many businesses. As Cory Hewett from Gimme Vending explains, it has even helped them when fundraising.

“It’s critical to keep investors up-to-date quickly,” Cory explains. “We’ve been successful fundraising from investors because, using Google Docs, we’ve been able to provide confidential data and financial reports to them almost immediately and revoke access when necessary just as quickly.”
