Navigating Xero’s New Look: What You Need to Know

Xero Navigation

At Plus Accounting, we’re always looking for ways to make life easier for our clients and that means keeping up to date with the latest tools and features in Xero. From September, Xero has launched a refreshed navigation designed to simplify your workflow, help you move through tasks faster, and give you quicker access to the insights you need. 

Our Outsourcing team, led by Emma Hardwick, is here to make sure you and your business feel confident using the new set-up. Here’s what’s changing and how it will benefit you. 

What’s new in Xero’s navigation? 

Xero’s redesign is all about improving usability and saving you time. Some of the key updates include: 

  • Dedicated Sales and Purchases menus – making it quicker to find and manage your customer and supplier tasks. 
  • Easier access to Reports – with powerful insights, including Analytics powered by Syft, just one click away. 
  • A new Tax menu – bringing all tax functions together in one place for simpler compliance. 
  • Streamlined Settings – available across all menus, as well as from a new centralised settings page. 
  • An improved right-hand panel – giving you instant access to JAX (Xero’s new AI business companion), search, help, notifications, and apps. 

Why this matters for you 

We know that for business owners, every minute counts. Xero’s changes are designed to remove unnecessary clicks and make sure the tools you rely on are always within reach. Whether you’re reconciling bank transactions, sending invoices, or reviewing reports, the refreshed navigation helps you stay efficient and focused on running your business.
