Integrate with Xero
Streamline your financial workflows by connecting Xero to your payroll and expense management. This integration eliminates manual entries and ensures your payroll data always matches your general ledger, keeping your financial reporting accurate and audit-ready.

Why integrate with Xero?

Real-time Payroll Integration
Keep your records updated without manual intervention. This API-driven integration ensures your payroll information flows directly into your Xero account, maintaining a consistent link between your payroll data and your financial ledger.

Automate your journals
Eliminate manual file-based downloads. Export your payroll journals including earnings, deductions, taxes, and liabilities directly to Xero upon pay run finalization, at a scheduled time or on demand whenever you choose.

Accurate expense accounting
Employees can submit leave in Employment Hero, which will push this data through to Xero to amend their leave balance and ensure they’re paid correctly in the next payrun.

Reduce manual reconciliation
Stop spending hours on month-end. Automated syncing removes the need for re-keying data or manual mapping, reducing the risk of reporting errors and accelerating your payroll close.
