Xero Alternative for Retail: Accounting With POS and CRM

Direct answer

If you use Xero mainly to record what your till, online store and payroll already did, NiyuSuite is an alternative that removes the double handling: every sale, purchase and pay run posts to the general ledger automatically, with GST and BAS reporting built for Australian businesses.

Why people look for a Xero alternative

You run a POS or online store separately and reconcile it into your books by hand or through an integration.
Stock, customers and the ledger live in three tools and never quite agree.
Per-app subscriptions add up once you need inventory, payroll and a CRM on top of accounting.

GST and BAS	Built in, with a capital gains tax schedule	Built in for GST and BAS
Payroll	Australian payroll in the same login (PAYG, super, ABA file)	Available as part of the Xero range
CRM and email marketing	Included from the Growth plan	Separate apps
Starting price	From $39 a month; accounting included from Growth at $99	See Xero for current plans

What you get with NiyuSuite instead

Payroll, CRM and mass email on the same customer and employee records.

When Xero is the better choice

If you only need bookkeeping and invoicing, you have no POS or stock, and your accountant already works in Xero, staying with Xero is usually the simpler choice. NiyuSuite earns its place when your sales and stock systems are the main source of your numbers.

Moving from Xero

Export your chart of accounts, customers, suppliers and opening balances from Xero.
We help load customers, suppliers and products from CSV files and set up your chart of accounts.
Start the new system from a clean cut-off date (usually the start of a month or BAS quarter) so your accountant has one set of books per period.

Onboarding and data migration is a one-off $350 to $1,500 depending on the amount of data.
