Xero and MYOB

emu.legal is the firm's books. While the firm still uses Xero or MYOB, every posted journal goes down to it as the document that app expects, until the firm turns it off.
Demo
Nothing leaves this laptop. The demo keeps what would have been sent to Xero, so you can see exactly what it would get.
