What Is Xero?

Cloud Accounting Designed for Modern Businesses

Xero is a cloud-based accounting platform that gives business owners, bookkeepers and accountants access to financial information from virtually anywhere.

Instead of maintaining separate spreadsheets, paper records and disconnected accounting files, Xero helps bring important financial information into one centralized system.

Businesses can use Xero to manage areas such as invoicing, bank reconciliation, bills, reporting, sales-tax records, cash-flow visibility and integrations with other business applications.

At Scan Universal Solutions, we go beyond simply opening a Xero account. We help configure, organize and maintain Xero around your actual business requirements.

Why Work With Scan Universal?

Xero Software Is Powerful. Proper Setup Makes the Difference.

Getting Xero is easy. Setting it up correctly for your business, maintaining accurate records and building useful reporting systems requires accounting and bookkeeping knowledge. As a Xero Bronze Partner, Scan Universal Solutions helps Canadian businesses implement Xero while maintaining an organized accounting process.

Xero Setup

Configure the organization, chart of accounts, users, bank connections and core workflows.

Xero Migration

Move from QuickBooks, spreadsheets or another system with an organized transition plan.

Bookkeeping & Reconciliation

Maintain regular transaction categorization, bank and credit-card reconciliation, and monthly bookkeeping support.

Training & Support

Provide practical Xero training for owners and staff using real business workflows.

Xero for Canadian Businesses

Configure Xero Around Your Canadian Accounting Requirements

Canadian businesses deal with different tax registrations, reporting requirements and transaction types. Scan Universal Solutions can help configure your accounting workflow for applicable Canadian sales taxes such as GST, HST, QST and other provincial sales-tax requirements where relevant to your business.

Rather than relying on software alone to determine tax treatment, our team helps establish suitable accounting and tax-code workflows according to the nature of your transactions. This can make your bookkeeping more organized and tax-period preparation more efficient.

Where filings are required, our tax compliance service works from the same records, so nothing is reconstructed at the deadline.

Bank Reconciliation and Automation

Spend Less Time Matching Transactions

One of Xero's most useful bookkeeping features is its bank-reconciliation workflow. Once compatible bank feeds are connected, transactions can be brought into the accounting system and matched or categorized.

With properly configured bank rules and bookkeeping procedures, repetitive transaction processing can become significantly more efficient.

Connect appropriate bank and credit-card feeds
Create useful bank rules
Set up transaction categories
Review reconciliations
Identify duplicate or missing transactions
Maintain accurate monthly records

The objective is not simply automation — it is automation with proper accounting oversight.

Invoicing and Accounts Receivable

Get a Clearer Picture of Who Owes You Money

Xero can help businesses create and track customer invoices while maintaining visibility over outstanding amounts. Depending on the Xero features and integrations used, businesses can improve workflows around creating invoices, tracking outstanding invoices, sending reminders, recording payments, reviewing accounts receivable and connecting supported payment services.

This gives business owners a clearer view of money coming into the business without relying on separate spreadsheets.

Hubdoc and Document Management

Turn Receipts and Bills Into Organized Digital Records

Paper receipts, emailed invoices and supplier bills can quickly become difficult to manage. Hubdoc can work alongside Xero to help businesses collect and organize financial documents electronically.

Receipt capture
Supplier invoices
Bills
Supporting documents
Transaction backup
Bookkeeping documentation

This creates a cleaner document trail and makes it easier for the bookkeeping team to maintain organized records throughout the year.

Reporting and Business Insights

Understand the Numbers Behind Your Business

Bookkeeping should do more than record what happened last month. Properly maintained accounting records can provide useful information about the financial health of your business.

Revenue
Expenses
Profitability
Accounts receivable
Accounts payable
Cash position
Budget performance
Business trends

We can also help business owners build useful reporting workflows using Xero and compatible reporting tools such as Syft Analytics where appropriate.

Xero Integrations

Connect Your Accounting With the Systems You Already Use

Many businesses operate several platforms. Sales may come through one system, payments through another, payroll somewhere else and receipts through email. Xero can integrate with a wide range of third-party business applications through the Xero App Store.

E-commerce — Shopify and other online sales platforms
Payments — Stripe and compatible online-payment platforms
Payroll — Compatible Canadian payroll solutions
Expense management — Receipt and document-capture systems
Reporting — Business intelligence and management reporting applications
CRM and operations — Customer management, inventory and operational applications

Our role is to help determine which integrations actually add value instead of connecting applications simply because they are available.
