I’ve been working with both Xero and QuickBooks Online (QBO) for the past 14 years as a certified accountant, so I’ve had the opportunity to use both systems extensively in real-world bookkeeping and accounting work.

Personally, I prefer Xero over QBO, particularly in terms of the overall workflow and day-to-day usability. I’ve also worked on a number of Xero setups and migrations over the years, including helping businesses move from QBO, Wave, and other systems.

If anyone is considering moving to Xero or is unsure about the differences between Xero and QBO, I’m happy to share my experience or help answer any questions.

I run a CPA firm that's also a Xero Partner. We've been using Xero for over 14 years and have helped set up and migrate 500+ businesses, tailoring Xero workflows for each client to the way the business actually operates.

If you're moving from QuickBooks, Wave, or another accounting system, need help setting up and cleaning up your Xero account, or just want someone to handle your bookkeeping requirements.

Even if you're not looking to hire anyone right now, I'm always happy to answer questions about Xero or bookkeeping if you're stuck on something.

Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to chat about your bookkeeping or Xero setup.

My wife and I are flying from DXB to LAX via Emirates and have a domestic flight with JetBlue from LAX to JFK, then we’re flying back to DXB from JFK via Emirates again.

Our Emirates checked bags have no size limit and we’re bringing two XL suitcases at 67” (171cm). JetBlue website says this: “Checked bags should not exceed 62” (157.48 cm) in overall dimensions (length + width + height)”.

I paid for checked bags in JetBlue but our bags exceed the size and the suitcase looks very big. The weight won’t be above 50lbs though. Is this gonna be a big problem? Will we have to pay for oversized bags?

Xero just rolled out a beta version of its E-invoicing solution through Invoici. You can connect your Xero account to Invoici, set up your customers and suppliers once, and register through the Peppol network. More details are expected to be announced soon.

Another piece of good news, Xero has officially launched a VAT compliance tool that automates VAT returns directly from Xero. You’ll be able to file your VAT return straight from Xero to the EmaraTax portal with just a click.

As a Xero partner and the owner of an accounting firm, this is something we’ve been waiting for since VAT was introduced in the UAE. I was lucky enough to attend the first webinar covering how the E-invoicing and VAT tools will be implemented in the coming days.

I’m a CMA and Xero expert and have been working with the platform for decades. My UAE clients have been using Xero since 2014, and honestly, it’s still one of the easiest and most user-friendly accounting systems we recommend to small businesses.

Happy to answer any questions if anyone wants to know more about how this will work in the UAE especially for small business.

Following my previous post below:

I received a lot of inquiries about the Xero and QBO training so I thought I’d provide more information and resources. I own an accounting firm mainly using Xero and QBO for my clients. Over 500 clients na nahawakan ko in my years of experience.

May partnership kami with a training center in the Philippines who offer professional training programs for CMA, CIA, CFA and ACCA. May official training programs din kami for Xero, QBO and Zoho Books (I’ll add the link below).

If you’re looking to learn these software or upskill, you can join the official training program or I can arrange a separate training.

where do you find clients who pay that much? can you get that salary with just one client or do you work with multiple clients?

Have you ever thought kung ano plan nyo after Dubai? Do you see yourself going back to the Philippines, moving to another country, or staying in the UAE longterm with no government benefits?

I've personally worked with clients who were looking for legal pathways to relocate or obtain a second citizenship. Couple of them are very high profile people whose current passports are either weak or under political issues. I know there is a community of wealthy Filipinos here in the UAE, knowing a couple wealthy people myself. So trying to see if this is also something most Filipinos consider as a back up plan. Especially since a first world passport gives you freedom to travel and better opportunities.

While I don't work directly in the immigration industry, I've built connections with immigration lawyers, professionals and firms and connect them with my clients.

Right now, Spain's Digital Nomad Visa in is demand. Because we were colonized by Spain, Filipinos qualify for the fast track route to Spanish citizenship after two years of legal residence (instead of the normal 10 years).

My connections have assisted over 30,000 immigration cases globally, and this year we're planning a campaign specifically focused on helping eligible Filipinos explore the Spain DNV pathway. We also work with immigration programs for the US, Canada, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand. Syempre, still subject to meeting the requirements and eligibility.

If you have considered getting a second residency or citizenship, what’s stopping you? Cost, eligibility, or simply not knowing where to start?

Would you be interested if I shared more information about the Spain pathway or other immigration options?

Happy to answer questions here if there's enough interest. No pressure, just wanted to see if this is something the Filipino community in Dubai is actually looking into.
