3 tips to know your cash flow

Manual data entry for your incomings and outgoings can be time-consuming and prone to human error. Automating and connecting your data securely in one place will save you precious time and a lot of guesswork.

Connect your bank feeds and sales channels

Connect your bank accounts and sales platforms to Xero so you have automatic feeds that flow your transactions straight into one clear view.

Capture your bills and expenses with apps

Collect every bill, invoice and receipt without the headache (or drawer full of scraps of paper) with data capture apps that do it for you.

Tighten up your approvals

Approval delays and expenses can have a big impact on cash flow. Stay in control with apps that set up approval flows and budget limits.

Manage scale with ease

Expanding to new locations or adding new parts of your business can mean managing multiple Xero organisations. Keep month’s end simple with apps that sync data with Xero to give you a full picture of your business in one place.
