Switching from Xero to FirmWorks
Keep invoicing and bank reconciliation. Get HR, projects, chat, notes, and boards in the same workspace — no extra subscriptions.
What you keep
- Quotations, invoices, and receipts with multi-currency support.
- Customer/contact records that flow onto every document automatically.
- Recurring invoices on a schedule with PDF export.
What you gain
- Native HR module — employee directory, onboarding checklists, leave requests with manager approval.
- Projects, tasks, and kanban boards in one workspace, sharing the same contact records.
- Internal chat and a notes/wiki module — replace Slack and Notion alongside Xero.
What’s better
Thai VAT and withholding tax built in
FirmWorks ships VAT (7%) and withholding-tax fields by default on every document — Thai tax IDs print automatically and recurring invoices keep the same tax treatment when they auto-issue. Xero supports VAT but Thai-specific WHT typically requires custom fields or third-party add-ons.
