Xero, the platform most Australian businesses already know

Xero began in New Zealand and has grown into one of the most widely used accounting platforms among Australian small businesses, largely because its GST setup and BAS reporting fields work the way local advisers expect. Finbryn delivers full-service bookkeeping inside your Xero organisation, in a file that stays under your own subscription throughout.

We set up or tidy your Xero organisation, configure bank rules and app connections to speed up coding, and handle monthly categorisation, reconciliation and close directly inside the platform. Xero's own reports cover most of what a business needs; where the standard set falls short, for example a property-by-property or job-by-job view, we build custom reports on top rather than exporting everything to a spreadsheet.

Because Xero's GST reporting feeds directly into the BAS return, we pay particular attention to keeping every transaction on the correct tax code as it is entered, rather than reviewing and recoding a quarter's worth of transactions right before the lodgement deadline. That difference is usually what separates a BAS review that takes an hour from one that takes a week.

Access as your advisor

You add us as your advisor in Xero at whatever access level you choose, and you can revoke that access at any time. The organisation, and the subscription, stay yours throughout.

Moving into Xero from another platform

We migrate the chart of accounts, contacts, open invoices and bills, and prior-period balances from MYOB, QuickBooks Online or another system into Xero, so switching platforms does not mean losing trading history or restarting your GST reporting from scratch.

Questions

Frequently asked questions: Xero bookkeeping

Can you work in Xero alongside MYOB or QuickBooks for related entities?

Yes. Different entities in the same group often run different software, and we work inside whichever platform each one already uses.

Does Xero handle Australian GST and BAS reporting well?

Yes, and we keep every transaction on the correct GST tax code as it is entered, so the BAS report Xero produces each quarter needs review rather than a rebuild.

Can you move us from MYOB or QuickBooks Online into Xero?

Yes. We migrate the chart of accounts, contacts, open invoices and bills, and prior-period balances across.

What is not included in Xero bookkeeping?

STP payroll filing, BAS lodgement and tax advice sit outside the base plan. We keep the Xero file reconciled and reported, and hand off clean figures to your registered agent or payroll provider for those steps.

Who owns the Xero subscription?

You do. We are added as an adviser under your own organisation, and that access can be removed at any point without affecting your ownership of the file.

Do you need to be added as our advisor in Xero?

Yes, at whatever access level you choose, and you can revoke it at any time.

Can you move us from another platform into Xero?

Yes. We migrate the chart of accounts, contacts, open invoices and bills, and prior-period balances.

How is xero bookkeeping priced?

Pricing for xero bookkeeping depends on your transaction volume, the software you use, and how much cleanup is needed before ongoing work starts. Current ranges are published on the pricing page, and your exact fee is confirmed in writing before anything begins.

What software works with xero bookkeeping?

Xero bookkeeping runs inside Xero or Dext, whichever you already use. If you are not yet set up in either, we can configure a file in your name so you keep ownership of it once the engagement is under way.
