Looking for a simpler alternative to Xero?

Meet Prosaic

If increasing software costs have you wondering whether Xero is still the right fit for your business, you’re not alone. Some businesses need Xero’s extensive features and integrations. Others simply want an easier way to manage transactions, invoices, GST and financial records — without paying for complexity they don’t use. That’s why Cross Group works with Prosaic, a modern New Zealand-made accounting platform designed for the way accountants and small businesses work together. Click here to check it out.

Accounting software should make business easier

Prosaic is an AI-native accounting ledger and workspace designed around accountants and bookkeepers, while remaining refreshingly simple for clients. Connect your bank accounts, review and categorise transactions, upload documents, create straightforward invoices and access your financial information from one convenient workspace.

AI-assisted suggestions and transaction memory help make reconciliation faster, while your accounts still receive professional oversight from the Cross Group team. Less accounting jargon. Less unnecessary complexity. More time to focus on your business.

Is Prosaic right for your business?

Prosaic may be a good fit if you run a sole trader or straightforward small business, mainly need bank feeds, transaction coding, GST support and financial reporting, and prefer your accountant to help manage the platform. It won’t be right for every business. If you rely on advanced payroll, inventory, project accounting, multiple currencies or specialised integrations, another platform may be more appropriate. We’ll review your setup before recommending any move.
