To get the most out of this book

First, relax; Xero is going to make your life easy. If you are a business owner and you do not already have Xero, start a trial. It is free for 30 days and is fully functional. If you are an accounting professional, you too should have Xero set up, but if you do not, you should start a trial but do sign up to be a partner and gain access to your free firm account. It will give you all of the tools we will explore in the book. Remember that not all feaures will work if you are using a Xero Demo company.

I suggest reading through the book, and then grabbing your laptop, tablet, or phone, and then going chapter by chapter, using the examples, and then seeing how they apply to your business.
