To the right of your screen are less prominent but just as useful features, including Help, plus search and notification buttons. As a small business owner, you dont need to have an accounting degree to use the Xero Accounting app. These are found via a top menu that houses not only the Dashboard, but Business, Accounting and Contacts options too. The layout is, on the face of it, pretty simple with a user-experience that delivers quick and easy access to core features. Things start out at the Dashboard, which is just that the area that lets you move into the other sections of the site and from which you can manage the overall way it ticks. In that respect the built-in help will pay dividends as you use it to navigate any of the trickier aspects of the cloud-based layout.
