It's half-term. Dun dun duuuun...

Your already busy schedule just got busier.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to claw back some of that time whilst keeping the family happy?

While we're waiting for Elon Musk to finally discover his true calling and invent a time machine, we'll have to go with the next best option...

A futuristic time-saving integration between your payroll software and Xero (Flux Capacitor optional).

But before we start poking holes in the space-time continuum, let's take a quick look at Xero.

What is Xero?

Xero provide online accounting software for small businesses. Their software allows you to manage finances, control cash flow and, importantly for the sake of this article, integrate with other software.

Quick Feature Overview

  • Xero operates a global business boasting over 4.2 million subscribers
  • They offer a 30 day free trial of their software (at time of writing)
  • Xero accounting software has a range of features including bank connections and intuitive online invoicing

What are the benefits of integrating Xero with my Umbrella Payroll Software?

Save time with Automated Data Entry

Payroll information, such as wages, taxes, and deductions, can be automatically synced with Xero. This reduces the time spent on manual data entry and minimizes errors, which saves on potential costs of correcting mistakes.

Greater Peace of Mind through Increased Data Security

Using a secure encrypted connection between your payroll software and Xero can improve your data security reducing the chances of data being accessed while in transit.

Better Decision-Making capabilities with Real-Time Updates

With real-time syncing, both payroll and accounting data are always up-to-date. This improves financial visibility and enables more accurate decision-making without the need for time-consuming reconciliations.

Simplified Compliance and Reporting

Payroll integration can help automate tax calculations and compliance checks, ensuring accuracy and reducing the risk of fines. Additionally, the data needed for reports is already in Xero, simplifying monthly and annual reporting.

Faster Payroll Processing

Integration between Xero and your payroll software means payroll runs can be completed more quickly, allowing your team to focus on other important tasks rather than repetitive data handling.

How can I integrate Xero with my Umbrella Payroll Software?

Option 1 - Do it yourself

You can carry out the process yourself. It's important to ensure that the software connection is secure and reliable to prevent data loss or security breaches.
