Xero set up properly from day one.

A file configured around your business, plus one-on-one training so you actually feel confident using it.

Get Xero working the way it should.

Our Xero setup service helps establish a strong financial foundation by setting up your Xero file correctly and tailored to your business needs. We assist with chart of accounts configuration, bank feed setup, payroll and GST settings, invoice customisation and system integrations, so your bookkeeping processes run smoothly from the start.

At Lady Abacus, we provide practical guidance and support to help you get the most out of your Xero subscription with confidence.

As a Xero Platinum Partner we set up a lot of files, and we see what goes wrong when the foundations get rushed. A well-built chart of accounts and clean bank feeds save hours every month and make your reports genuinely useful rather than just technically correct.

You might need this if

If any of these feel a little close to home, this is exactly the sort of thing we take off your plate.

You are starting from scratch

New business, or moving off spreadsheets, and you want the foundations right the first time.

Your current file fights you

Bank feeds break, categories make no sense, and your reports never quite look the way you need them to.

You want to understand it

You are happy to do some of the work yourself. You just need someone to show you how properly.

What a Xero setup covers.

Built around how your business actually runs, not a generic template.

  • New file setup or migration

    A fresh Xero file built for your business, or your existing data brought across cleanly.

  • Chart of accounts configuration

    Categories that match how you think about your business, rather than a default template.

  • Bank feeds and reconciliation rules

    Feeds connected and bank rules set up so routine coding starts happening by itself.

  • GST and payroll settings

    Tax and payroll configured correctly from the start, avoiding corrections down the track.

  • Invoice branding and templates

    Invoices and quotes that look like your business and carry the right payment terms.

  • App integrations

    Connections to the tools you already use, so data flows instead of being entered twice.

  • One-on-one training

    A walkthrough tailored to what you need to do day to day, at whatever pace suits you.

  • Follow-up support

    Time to come back with the questions that only appear once you have started using it.

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most about xero setup & training. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Do you offer a free Xero file health check?

Yes. If you already have a Xero file, we will review it and give you practical feedback and recommendations at no cost. Ask for one here.

Can you move me from MYOB or QuickBooks?

Yes. We handle migrations regularly, including bringing across balances and history so you are not starting from a blank file with no context.

Do I need my own Xero subscription?

You can hold your own subscription, or we can arrange it through our partner account. Either way the file belongs to you and you keep full access to it.

Is training included or separate?

One-on-one training is part of a setup. If you only need training on an existing file we can do that on its own, and if the file itself needs work first, our clean-up service covers that.
