Overview
Vinyl – AI-powered notetaker for accountants and bookkeepers
Vinyl is the AI meeting assistant purpose-built for accountants and bookkeepers. It helps you save time, eliminate manual admin, and ensure every client meeting is documented accurately—without the need to ever write up notes again.
Vinyl joins your meetings on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. It records the audio and video, creates a full transcript, and generates smart summaries, action items and discussion points—automatically. After the meeting, Vinyl keeps everything in one place so your team can review what was discussed and action any next steps with confidence.
With Vinyl’s native integration to Xero Practice Manager (XPM), your meeting data becomes part of your client file. Vinyl syncs your clients, contacts and groups from XPM, so when a meeting is booked with someone in your calendar, Vinyl links it to their contact record automatically. Once the meeting is complete, Vinyl creates a time-stamped note in XPM (coming soon) with the summary and transcript, including a direct link back to the recording in Vinyl.
Whether it’s a tax planning call, BAS meeting, compliance catch-up or onboarding session, Vinyl ensures that all conversations are captured, summarised and securely stored against the right client in XPM—without any extra effort from your team.

Vinyl + Xero
Vinyl’s integration with Xero Practice Manager (XPM) brings your meeting records and client data into one seamless workflow—designed specifically for accountants and bookkeepers.
Once connected, Vinyl syncs your clients, contacts, and groups from XPM into your Vinyl account. This sync happens automatically each night, keeping your data up to date without manual effort. When you schedule a meeting with someone listed in XPM, Vinyl detects the calendar match and links the meeting to that client in your practice database.
After the meeting ends, Vinyl generates a full AI-powered summary, transcript, and key discussion points. These are then filed back into XPM against the relevant client as a time-stamped note (Coming soon), including a direct link back to the full meeting recording inside Vinyl. This means your team never has to write up notes manually, search for what was discussed, or worry about losing important client context.
The integration ensures your entire client communication history is tracked and stored in one central place—XPM—where your team already works. This is especially powerful for firms with multiple team members managing the same client, helping everyone stay aligned and informed.
