Connecting Xero
Send your property income and costs to Xero instead of re-typing them.
Open Settings and choose Integrations. Connecting Xero sends your rent and running costs across as invoices and bills, so your accountant reconciles them against the bank rather than re-typing them. The picture above shows it.
What the connection does
- As invoices and bills — rent posts as an invoice, costs as bills, and your own bank feed reconciles them. No duplicate bank lines.
- Per-property books — each property is tracked separately in Xero, so you get per-property profit and loss.
- One-way and safe — Abodient only adds to Xero. It never changes or deletes anything already there.
Connecting it
Click Connect to Xero and sign in to Xero to approve the link. You can start the same connection from the Finance page's Connect Xero button — it does not matter which door you use.
If it does not connect
- Connection refused? Xero needs you to be an adviser or a standard user on the organisation. A read-only login cannot approve it.
- Nothing arriving? Only recorded transactions travel. Rent you have not marked received is not yet a transaction, so there is nothing to send.
