Quote to invoice
Turn an accepted quote or completed job into a draft Xero invoice ready for review.
Xero automation | Australia
Xero automation, minus the busywork
Xero automation for Australian small businesses still copying data into Xero, raising invoices by hand and chasing debtors manually. We automate quote to invoice, debtor follow up, reconciliation, reporting and the handoffs between Xero and the tools your team already uses. Builds use the official Xero API through n8n, Make, Power Automate or a purpose built integration where that is the better fit.

Platform specific workflows
Work we build in Xero
Three common workflow paths, with the trigger, approval and exception rules agreed before the build starts.
Invoice and collect

Invoice reminders
Send polite reminders on an agreed schedule without relying on someone to remember.Debtor follow up
Escalate overdue follow up and deliver a clear summary of open accounts.
Reconcile and report
Give the finance team current numbers and send exceptions to the right person.
Payment reconciliation

Bring cost and revenue data together by job or project on demand or on schedule.Cashflow summary

Delivery feedback
A client view of the work
This feedback is about how we scope, build and hand over technical work. It is not a case study for this platform.
They actually listened to what we needed, didn't overcomplicate things, and delivered something our team could use straight away. Genuinely one of the best tech experiences I've had as a business owner.
The operating problem
The accounts admin that never ends
Someone rekeys the same job or customer data, raises invoices one at a time and chases the same late payers each month.
Xero has an accounting API, and the routine work follows repeatable rules. We connect the systems, keep the calls that need judgement with a person, and automate the rest.
If this is the workflow causing trouble, send us the handoff and systems involved. We will tell you whether it is worth changing before anything is scoped.
Workflow in practice
Move the finance team from rebuilding to reviewing
Before
The office recreates every handoff
A completed field service job is opened again in Xero, line items are copied across, the invoice is raised and overdue accounts are followed up manually.
Controlled workflow
Xero receives a draft and the team keeps the decision
Job completion prepares the draft invoice, debtor reminders go out on the agreed schedule, and exceptions get flagged for review instead of being acted on automatically.
Data and control
Your books, connected safely
Accounts data is sensitive, so we use Xero's supported API with limited access rather than screen scraping or shared logins.
Your qualified people still make the call on invoice approval, payment release and exceptions. For the wider environment, this work can be paired with AI security and data loss prevention.
Pricing
How we scope and quote the workflow
You receive a fixed project price once the workflow, access and acceptance checks are clear. The first 30 minute consult, mapping pass and written estimate cost nothing.
Before you commit
Free mapping and written estimate
The first consult, workflow mapping pass and written estimate cost nothing. You see the assumptions before deciding whether to proceed.
Approved workflow
One fixed build price
The trigger, access, approvals, exception handling, acceptance checks and handover are agreed before the project quote is issued.
Platform costs
Licences and usage listed separately
Platform licences, premium connectors, API usage and any ongoing monitoring are identified separately. Support continues only when an ongoing arrangement is agreed.
