What is Xero?

Xero is a cloud-based accounting platform that simplifies your day-to-day finances. Real-time data, automated bank feeds, built-in payroll, and clear reporting give growing nonprofits the transparency and control they need - and make funder and audit reporting far less painful come year end.

Get your Xero 25% discount for nonprofits.

Standard Xero plans in New Zealand and Australia range from $29 to $76+ per month, depending on features and the number of users.

For nonprofits, we can secure a 25% discount on your subscription.

As your Xero Partner, XP assesses your needs and applies for the 25% nonprofit discount on your behalf, significantly reducing your monthly spend. Exact pricing depends on how many users you have and the features you need, such as payroll and multi-currency support. You can also submit an application for your organisation's discount yourself.

Is payroll included in Xero?

Payroll is now built into several of Xero’s standard subscription tiers, meaning there's no separate add-on required.

XP will help you:

  • Choose the right Xero plan with payroll for your needs.
  • Set up employee profiles, leave tracking, and automated pay runs.
  • Stay compliant with local employment law in NZ or AU.
  • Connect an alternative payroll system where it's a better fit - we'll help you find the one that suits your organisation.

We’ll also train your team so payroll becomes a simple, error-free process.

Batch payments in Xero

Batch payments let you pay multiple bills or employees in one go, saving time and reducing mistakes. XP helps you:

  • Set up batch payments in Xero correctly
  • Automate pay cycles and approval workflows
  • Reconcile payments against invoices or payroll entries

We also provide training and ongoing support, so your finance team stays confident and capable.

XP Xero partner can help set up your bank reconciliation

Be audit-ready all year round

Reconciling bank transfers is one of the most common tasks in Xero, and getting it wrong creates reporting headaches that surface at exactly the wrong moment - your annual review or audit.

XP goes beyond the basics. We:

  • Build rules and workflows for accurate, consistent reconciliation.
  • Set up automated matching for repeat transactions.
  • Maintain clean audit trails for transparency and funder confidence.

Whether you're managing grants, donations, or operational transfers, we make sure Xero reflects your true financial position - so an audit is a formality, not a fire drill.

Not sure your books would stand up to scrutiny? Take our free Audit Readiness Check and see exactly where you stand.
