Drum’s integration with Xero is not just a connection; it is a seamless, two-way sync that forms the backbone of your firm’s operational and financial health. We handle the day-to-day project operations so you can leave the accounting heavy-lifting to Xero, confident that your data is always perfectly aligned.

Here’s how our deep integration eliminates double-handling and gives you a true, real-time picture of your business:

Invoices & Payments:

→ Create detailed, multi-stage invoices in Drum using your project data, ensuring 100% accuracy. → With one click, these invoices are pushed to Xero, adopting your branding and ready to be sent to clients. → When a payment is recorded in Xero, the payment status automatically syncs back to the corresponding project in Drum, giving project managers and principals a live view of profitability.

Bills, Expenses & Purchase Orders:

→ Manage all project-related costs within Drum. Create purchase orders and track expenses against project budgets. → Seamlessly push approved bills and expense claims to Xero, where they become bills ready to be paid. This directly connects your project costs to your accounting ledger, eliminating manual reconciliation.

Timesheets for Payroll:

→ Your team uses Drum’s intuitive time-tracking, allocating hours directly to projects and tasks. → Approved timesheet data syncs effortlessly to Xero, drastically simplifying your payroll process and ensuring accurate labour costing against projects.

Credit Notes:

→ Easily create and issue a credit note in Drum for an existing invoice. This is automatically synced to Xero to ensure your accounts are always reconciled correctly.
