A.X.E.L + Xero

Connect Once. Stay in Sync Forever.
Link your Xero account to A.X.E.L in under 60 seconds. From that point on, your financial data flows automatically between both platforms.
Connect
Link your Xero organisation from A.X.E.L settings. One OAuth click — no API keys, no technical setup needed.
Sync
Invoices, expenses, and contacts start syncing automatically. Create an invoice in A.X.E.L, it appears in Xero instantly.
Relax
Clean, real-time data in Xero. No spreadsheets, no re-keying, and bank reconciliation takes seconds. Hand it to an accountant, or take it into your own return.
Bring a Year of Figures Into Your Return
A.X.E.L Filing connects to the same Xero account to prepare your CT600 and your Companies House accounts. Instead of copying a trial balance by hand, the year is read across and mapped to the boxes on the return.
Connect and pick the period
Sign in to Xero and choose the accounting period you are filing for.
See where every figure lands
The import shows every account it found and which line of the return or the accounts it maps to. Nothing is written until you have read it.
Accept, or correct first
You press "use these figures". You are signing the return, so the numbers are yours to accept rather than something that appeared while you were not looking.
An import only replaces the lines it actually covers, so a balance sheet you have already typed is never wiped by a source that does not carry one.
Everything the Year End Needs
A.X.E.L handles the job management. Xero handles the accounting. The integration keeps both sides in perfect sync.
Invoices
Create invoices in A.X.E.L from your quotes or jobs — they push straight to Xero as sales invoices. Line items, VAT, customer details — all mapped automatically.
Expenses
Log materials, fuel, and job costs in A.X.E.L. They sync to Xero as bills or spend money transactions, categorised and ready for your return.
Profit & Loss
A.X.E.L shows you job-level profitability. Xero gives you the full picture — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow. Both stay accurate because the data is shared.
Payments
When a customer pays an invoice, A.X.E.L marks it paid and Xero reconciles the payment against your bank feed. No manual matching needed.
Contacts
New leads and clients created in A.X.E.L sync to Xero as contacts. Names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses — always up to date in both systems.
VAT & Tax
VAT rates set in A.X.E.L carry through to Xero. File your MTD VAT returns directly from Xero — it's HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital.
