Xero Set-Up

Setting up Xero for your business needs.

Looking For Help With Your Xero Set-Up?

Are you new to Xero and would like it set up for you ready to use?

Do you want to save time having to watch the training videos and reading the online guidance and have someone take care of it for you?

Do you want the assurance that it has been set up correctly and that it is tailored appropriately for your business?

Do you want to avoid costly errors of not having set it up fully or in the right way to meet the needs of your business, your Accountant and HMRC?

If any of these sound like you, we can help.

Who We Help

We can help any business owner set up their Xero software for their individual business and accounting needs. Typically, those we help fit in to one of these areas:

Businesses needing to move on to an accounting software for the first time which enables them to be Making Tax Digital compliant
Businesses who want to move from another software to Xero and aren’t sure of the best way to do it
Busy people who don’t have time to do this themselves.

What We Do

If you are looking for support with your Xero set-up, we’ll arrange an initial chat with you to find out more about your business and what you need to use Xero for. Xero can be so much more than just complying with what your Accountant or HMRC require – it can help you on a day-to-day basis to run your business more effectively.

Once we have established your needs, we will talk about the timing of the implementation and plan this with you.

We then get to work.

What Is Included In My Xero Set-Up?

This will depend on what your business and accounting needs are and the complexity of the set-up but will typically include:

Ensuring the financial settings are correct e.g. year end, VAT etc
Establishing a chart of accounts that gives you the reporting information you want
Importing customer and supplier data
Setting up your bank accounts, credit cards, PDQ and control accounts
Entering your opening accounting balances
Creating your invoice and email templates
Connecting your VAT with the HMRC gateway
Setting up CIS requirements (for construction businesses)
Entering stock or product information.
