Bill Capture & AP Processing for Bookkeepers with Xero
Run bill capture & ap processing on autopilot inside Xero.
The Problem
Invoices arrive via email, PDF, mail, and vendor portals — Bookkeepers re-key them into QuickBooks Online, chase GL codes and approvers, and still end up with duplicates and late fees.
What We Build in Xero
AI pulls bills from every channel, extracts line items, assigns GL codes using Small Business Bookkeeping patterns, routes approvals, and sends payment files to QuickBooks Online — processing cost per invoice drops from $15 to under $2. Purpose-built for teams running Xero — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Xero Integration Approach
Audit your Xero configuration
We map the specific Xero objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your small business bookkeeping practice.
Build on the Xero API or agent
Integration happens inside Xero — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Xero with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
Does this bill capture & ap processing automation work natively in Xero?+
Yes — we build directly on Xero's API or agent integration. Your data stays in Xero, your bookkeepers keep the same login and UI, and there's no parallel system for the team to learn.
What Xero configuration do we need before deployment?+
We work with your existing Xero setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for small business bookkeeping teams.
Can Xero handle bill capture & ap processing on its own?+
Xero handles configuration; AI handles judgment. Native Xero workflows route deterministic tasks; our automation layer adds the AI judgment Xero doesn't ship out of the box — document classification, exception triage, drafting.

What's the typical ROI of bill capture & ap processing automation in Xero?+
