Designed to Work Alongside Xero
Control‑C complements Xero by adding an independent layer of protection and access—without changing how you use the platform.
Controlc + Xero
Control-C gives businesses and advisors an independent financial data assurance and continuity layer for Xero. It helps protect access to key records, supports continuity planning, and makes it easier to search, export, verify, and retain Xero data outside the live platform.
More than backup, Control-C is built for organisations that need confidence in their financial records, whether preparing for audit, meeting retention obligations, managing multiple entities, supporting clients, or planning for outages, access issues, cyber events, or other disruptions.
New and extended features include: • Business continuity invoicing when Xero access is unavailable • Create and issue invoices to customers, then sync them back to Xero when access is restored • Granular roles and permissions for tighter control over sensitive financial data • Bulk export of invoice attachments and supporting documents • Enhanced visibility across multiple Xero organisations
What Control-C helps you do: • Keep an independent, automated copy of Xero data • Access records even when live platform access is unavailable • Search accounting, payroll, fixed assets, projects, and Xero Practice Manager data • Export data and supporting records for review, audit, reporting, and retention • Maintain tamper-evident backup history for confidence and traceability • Monitor and manage multiple Xero organisations from one dashboard • Support continuity, disaster recovery, and assurance workflows
Control-C helps businesses keep operating when Xero access is unavailable. Users can create and issue invoices from Control-C, then sync those invoices back to Xero once access is restored.
Control-C also adds an extra security layer outside the live Xero platform. Granular roles and permissions allow firms and businesses to control who can view sensitive financial data, client records, exports, and attachments.
Other practical features include bulk exporting of invoice attachments, making it easier to retrieve supporting documents and evidence for audits, reviews, disputes, or reporting.
Built for accountants, bookkeepers, advisors, MSPs, and growing businesses, Control-C turns Xero data protection into a practical continuity and assurance process - not just a technical backup task.
For professional firms, Control-C supports scalable client oversight. Advisors can manage multiple organisations, help clients retain independent records, and provide confidence around access, continuity, audit readiness, and data control.
Control-C uses authorised access and is designed to work alongside Xero. It does not replace Xero or interfere with day-to-day accounting workflows. Instead, it adds an independent layer of protection, visibility, access control, and continuity capability.
If your business depends on Xero, Control-C helps you stay in control of your data — with independent access, searchable history, exportable records, controlled permissions, and continuity confidence when it matters most.
