This App Day, we are focusing on 3 apps that form the foundations for your accounts department – its about getting paid faster & planning your cash position and ditching paperwork.
If you’re not connecting apps to your accounting system, you are essentially asking your team (and your customers!) to do extra work—and potentially introducing costly errors.
Your business needs cash, and apps are the fastest way to secure it. By connecting a payment gateway (like Stripe or Square) directly to your Xero invoice, you give your customer a one-click ‘Pay Now’ option. The result? You get paid faster, and the transaction is automatically marked as paid in Xero, ready for reconciliation tomorrow.
While bringing in cash is crucial, confidently planning cashflow for the future is what drives real growth. We love connecting clients with Syft because it takes your live Xero data and transforms it into powerful, beautiful visual cash flow forecasts. Syft allows you to see a clear, day-by-day projection of your bank balance for the next 90 days across all bank accounts – no surprise payment bounces.
Let’s finish the fight against papercuts! Expense and document management tools like ReceiptBank/Dext turn your email invoices and paper receipts into accurate electronic records automatically linked to Xero. This means no more printing, stapling, or filing bills. You can simply snap a picture of a cash expense to avoid those dreaded faded receipts, and you eliminate manual data entry errors that happen when typing in all the details.
As Xero’s own data has shown, businesses using connected apps grow revenue faster. The reason is simple: Apps save you time, minimise costly errors, and give you powerful clarity.
