Xero Support & Training | Barton Accountancy

Xero

Xero is brilliant. When it's set up right.

We've seen Xero subscriptions where the chart of accounts has 200 categories nobody uses, bank feeds broken for three months, and VAT codes wrong on half the invoices. Xero is an incredible tool — but only when someone who knows what they're doing sets it up properly.

As a Xero Bronze Partner, we set up Xero from scratch, migrate you from whatever you're using now, train you on the features that matter, and fix the subscriptions we inherit from other firms. All included in your monthly fee.

What we do with Xero

Full Xero service.

Everything is included in your fixed monthly fee. No extras, no surprises.

Initial setup

Clean chart of accounts, bank feeds, invoice templates, VAT codes — all done properly.

Migration

From Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, spreadsheets — we move your data across cleanly.

1-on-1 training

An hour of live training so you can actually use it. No YouTube tutorials.

Fix a bad setup

Inherited a mess from another firm? We'll audit and fix it.

Add-on advice

Hubdoc, Dext, A2X, Fathom — which add-ons are worth it for your business.

Ongoing support

Quick questions, bug fixes, 'how do I...' — always free.

Sound familiar?

Most businesses don't have an accountant.
They have a filing service.

If any of these ring true, you're not getting what you should be.

01

You only hear from them at year-end

No check-ins, no planning, no conversation. Just a bill and a set of accounts you don't fully understand.

02

You're never sure where you stand

Your numbers are months out of date. You're making decisions based on gut feel, not real figures.

03

Surprise invoices keep landing

An email here, a phone call there — and suddenly your bill is twice what you expected. No one told you.

Common questions

Things people ask us.

Do I get a discount on Xero as your client?

Yes. As a Xero partner we get wholesale pricing which we pass on — typically a 20-30% discount on the published Xero plans, depending on the tier.

Can you help me fix a Xero subscription that's a mess?

Absolutely. This is a big part of what we do. We'll audit your current Xero, identify the problems (wrong VAT codes, unreconciled transactions, stale draft invoices, broken bank feeds) and fix them as part of onboarding.

What if I want to use something other than Xero?

That's fine. We also support FreeAgent, QuickBooks Online and Sage Business Cloud. Xero is our default because we know it best, but we won't force you to change if you're happy where you are.
