Xero Accounting: FAQs
Answers about moving to Xero, bank feeds, MTD for VAT and day-to-day use. Need personalised advice? Book a free discovery call or call 01865 819994.
What is Xero and why should I use it?
Xero is cloud accounting software for real-time bookkeeping, invoicing, bank reconciliation and reporting. You get up-to-date numbers, easy collaboration with us, and secure access from any device.
How does bank feed reconciliation work?
Xero imports transactions automatically from your bank (daily or more frequently). You categorise matches with one click, use bank rules for repeats, and attach receipts so your audit trail lives with the entry.
Is Xero compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?
Yes. Xero maintains digital links, prepares the VAT return from your records and submits directly to HMRC through its MTD-compliant API.
Can you migrate me from Sage or QuickBooks, and what comes across?
Yes. We migrate your chart of accounts, contacts, open invoices/bills, and opening balances. Historical transactions can also be imported (scope depends on your current system). We map VAT codes and tidy data during onboarding.
How long does a typical Xero onboarding take?
Most small businesses are live in 7–14 days after we receive your data. Complex setups (multi-currency, inventory, payroll, CIS) may take a little longer. We’ll give you a simple plan and timeline.
What add-ons do you recommend (receipts, CIS, stock, projects)?
- Receipts: Xero Expenses, Dext or Hubdoc.
- CIS: Xero Projects + CIS features for contractors/subcontractors.
- Inventory/stock: Xero Inventory for basics; Unleashed/DEAR/Cin7 for advanced.
- Time & projects: Xero Projects or third-party (Harvest, Float, etc.).
We’ll match apps to your workflow so you only pay for what you need.
Is my data secure and who owns it?
Xero uses bank-grade encryption and data residency policies. You control user access and own your data. We’ll set sensible roles (owner, standard, read-only) and 2FA during setup.
How much does Xero cost?
Xero has tiered plans (Starter, Standard, Premium). We’ll advise the right plan and whether any partner discounts apply. Your monthly fee is separate from our accounting package.
Can Xero handle payroll and CIS?
Yes. Xero Payroll covers RTI submissions, payslips, leave, and pension reporting. CIS is supported for contractors/subcontractors (deductions, statements and returns). We can run this or train your team.
Will Xero work for landlords and property businesses?
Yes. Track rents, expenses and mortgage interest, attach statements, and produce schedules for Self Assessment or corporation tax. We’ll structure tracking categories by property/unit if helpful.
What training and support do you provide?
Short, role-based sessions (owner, bookkeeper, project leads) plus quick reference checklists and Loom videos. Ongoing support via email/WhatsApp, and quarterly reviews in our accounting packages.
What do you need from me to get started?
- Basic business info (company/UTR/VAT), opening balances and latest TB
- Bank details for feeds, logo/branding for invoices
- Any existing software backups/exports (Sage, QBO, spreadsheets)

Do I need to switch accountant to work with you on Xero?
No. We can collaborate as your Xero setup and bookkeeping partner, or we can be your full accountant. If you do choose to switch, we handle a professional handover for a smooth transition.
What happens if I want to leave Xero or change apps later?
You can export your core data from Xero at any time (contacts, chart, reports, GL, invoices/bills). We’ll help with a clean export and migration plan if you ever need to move.
