Bookkeeping

Xero bookkeeping

Short answer

Full-service bookkeeping delivered inside Xero for a Saudi company: bank feeds, multi-currency tools and native reports run the monthly work, coded against a chart of accounts split for Zakat and corporate tax where ownership is mixed. The Xero organisation stays billed in your own name, and you can remove our access at any time.

Where Xero fits a Saudi file

Xero's bank feeds and multi-currency tools suit a company trading across the Gulf or invoicing clients abroad, whether that is a Jeddah import business or a Riyadh consultancy billing internationally. We work inside an organisation you already run, or set one up fresh under your own subscription.

Getting the file itself right

Bank rules and app connections get configured early so coding speeds up the longer we hold the file, and monthly categorisation, reconciliation and close all run inside Xero's own reports rather than a parallel spreadsheet nobody else can check.

VAT and the ownership split, tracked inside the ledger

Xero's VAT reporting stays current as transactions get coded, and where ownership is mixed, the chart of accounts is built so the Saudi and GCC share and the non-Saudi share are visible from the first entry, not reclassified once the 120-day filing window is already tight.

You hold the keys

We come in as the advisor you invite, at whatever access level you set, and you can remove that access whenever you choose. The subscription itself stays billed in your name, never bundled into our fee in a way that would leave you without the file if you ever switched providers.

Bringing history across

Where you are migrating from a spreadsheet, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, we bring the chart of accounts, contacts, open invoices and bills, and opening balances across intact, so monthly bookkeeping starts from day one with no gap in the history behind it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions: Xero bookkeeping

Do we need to invite you into our Xero organisation directly?

Yes, as an advisor at whatever access level you set, and you can revoke it whenever you choose.

Does Xero file our VAT return with ZATCA automatically?

No. Xero keeps the figures accurate; filing is done by you or by a ZATCA-licensed tax agent you appoint.

Can Xero handle a mixed Saudi and foreign ownership split?

Yes, we set the chart of accounts up so the Saudi and GCC share and the non-Saudi share are visible from the first transaction, not reclassified later.

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.
