Judges’ comment<\/h4>\n

The strongest of three excellent entries from Xero, a standout due to its exceptional clarity and its use of the Quickbooks example for users new to Xero’s software. The use of examples, and calling out questions and issues of concern to new users, makes this genuinely helpful. Quality documentation like this is surely part of what makes the Xero product so successful.<\/p>\n
