Xero Practice Manager
Xero Practice Manager is web-based practice management software for accounting and bookkeeping firms in Xero’s partner program. It is now integrated into Xero Partner Hub, where practices can manage jobs, client work and compliance tasks. Staff can be assigned jobs, check schedules and availability, and set deadlines and milestones. Time can be recorded by duration or start and stop time, then used to create progress or final invoices with fixed prices, rates and markups. Reporting covers jobs, time, costs, productivity and recoverable costs, with options to run standard reports, customise samples or create reports. Practices can configure statuses, categories, templates, workflows and branded documents such as quotes and engagement letters. Invoices and client details sync with the firm’s Xero accounts, and paid invoices appear in Partner Hub. Xero Tax and Xero Workpapers, powered by BGL, are included at no extra cost with the subscription. The product is available on the web, has a free plan for Silver, Gold or Platinum partners, and offers a 14-day trial. Paid plans start at 65 NZD a month for one user; prices exclude GST.
