AI Overview

Xero AI automation connects your accounting platform to intelligent workflows via the Xero API and Make.com. Key automations include auto-invoice generation, expense categorisation using AI, overdue payment chasers, bank reconciliation alerts, and automated monthly reporting. Small businesses and bookkeepers using Xero + AI typically save 5–10 hours per week on financial admin.

Five AI automations that supercharge your Xero.

Less time in spreadsheets. More time building your business.

Auto-Invoice Generation

Complete a job or deliver a product? AI creates the invoice in Xero based on your templates and sends it to the customer. No manual data entry required.

Expense Categorisation

AI reads each transaction, learns your categorisation patterns, and assigns the correct account code. Receipts get matched, GST gets handled, and your BAS prep gets easier.

Overdue Payment Chasers

Invoice overdue? AI sends polite reminders at 3, 7, and 14 days. Escalates the tone gradually. Your cash flow improves without awkward phone calls.

Bank Reconciliation Alerts

AI monitors your bank feeds in Xero and flags unreconciled transactions, duplicate entries, and anomalies. You get a daily summary so nothing slips through.

Monthly Reporting

On the first of each month, AI pulls your Xero data, generates a clear P&L summary, highlights key trends, and emails it to you. Know where you stand without opening Xero.

How the Xero + AI integration works.

Simple architecture. Your Xero data stays secure.

01

Xero API Connects

We connect via Xero's official OAuth 2.0 API. Your data stays in Xero — we only read what's needed and write back invoices, categorisations, and notes.

02

Make.com Orchestrates

Make.com listens for triggers — new invoices, overdue payments, bank transactions — and routes each event to the right AI workflow based on your rules.

03

AI Processes and Acts

The AI categorises expenses, generates invoices, sends payment chasers, or compiles reports. Everything writes back to Xero so your books stay accurate.

Xero + AI questions answered.

Will this mess up my Xero data?
No. We use Xero's official API with proper OAuth authentication. The AI only writes back approved changes — invoices, categorisations, and notes. Your existing data stays untouched.
Does it work for BAS preparation?
It helps significantly. By categorising expenses correctly and ensuring GST codes are applied accurately, the AI makes BAS prep much faster. Your accountant or BAS agent will thank you.
Can my bookkeeper still access everything?
Absolutely. Your bookkeeper or accountant keeps full access to Xero. The AI works alongside them, handling the repetitive tasks so they can focus on advisory and compliance.
What if the AI categorises something wrong?
The AI learns from your correction patterns and gets more accurate over time. For the first few weeks, we recommend a quick daily review. After that, accuracy typically sits above 95%.
How much does it cost?
It depends on which automations you need. Most businesses start with 2–3 Xero automations for a few hundred dollars a month. Book a free AI audit and we will design the right setup for you.
