- Audit your current setup – We look at how you use Xero right now, what manual tasks are eating your time, and where data is falling through the cracks.
- Recommend the right apps – Based on your industry and workflows, we suggest apps from the Xero App Store that actually fit. No bloated tech stacks, no paying for features you will not use.
- Configure and connect – We handle the technical setup: API connections, bank feeds, payment gateways, data mapping, and testing. You do not need to touch any of it.
- Train your team – Once everything is running, we walk your staff through the new workflows so everyone knows what changed and why.
Apps We Connect for UK Businesses
These are the apps our clients use most. We have set up each of these dozens of times and know the common pitfalls.
- Stripe and GoCardless – Payment processing and direct debit. We connect these to your Xero account so every transaction reconciles automatically.
- Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) – Expense capture. Your team photographs receipts, Dext extracts the data, and it flows straight into Xero.
- Shopify and WooCommerce – Ecommerce accounting. Sales, refunds, shipping fees, and invoices sync into Xero without manual data entry.
- Employment Hero and Xero Payroll – UK payroll, RTI submissions, pension auto-enrolment, and P11D processing – all linked to your Xero account.
- Unleashed and Cin7 – Inventory management for product businesses that have outgrown Xero’s built-in stock tracking.
- Syft Analytics – Reporting dashboards that pull real-time data from Xero for cash flow forecasting and management reports.
- WorkflowMax – Time tracking and project management for professional services firms that need to bill by the hour.
We also work with industry-specific apps for construction, hospitality, professional services, and retail. If it is in the Xero App Store, we have probably connected it before.
Why Use an Accountant for App Integrations?
You can connect most Xero apps yourself. The setup wizards are straightforward enough. But there are two problems with the DIY approach.
First, choosing the wrong app costs you money and time. We have seen businesses pay for three separate tools when one would do the job. Or worse, they pick an app that does not handle UK VAT properly and end up with a mess at quarter-end.
Second, a bad connection creates bad data. If your ecommerce integration is mapping revenue to the wrong account, or your payment gateway is not splitting out fees correctly, your management reports will be wrong. And you might not notice until your accountant flags it months later.
We get it right the first time because we understand both the accounting and the technology. That is the advantage of working with ICAEW-regulated chartered accountants who also happen to be certified Xero specialists.
