How it works
You connect the Xero organisation you already use. You send receipts the way you already send photos. Bookkeepery does the coding and matching. You only answer when something is unclear.
1. Connect Xero
Xero stays the ledger of record. Bookkeepery reads your chart of accounts, bank feeds, and existing invoices, then writes back only what it is sure about. If Xero is disconnected, posting stops and you are asked to reconnect. There is no second set of books.
2. Send receipts where you already are
Forward a photo or PDF to your Bookkeepery inbox, or send it on WhatsApp. The supplier, date, and amount are read from the file and matched to an open payment. If nothing matches, you get a reply in the same thread. You do not need to log into a portal for an everyday lunch receipt.
3. Answer only the odd question
Personal spending, a missing receipt, or a supplier that has not been seen before stay on a short list. Everything that is clear is coded and left in Xero with a record of what was done.
4. Check the month-end list and the VAT draft
At month end you get unmatched items, reconciliation status, and a VAT draft if you are registered. You confirm. Bookkeepery does not submit the return to HMRC. You or your accountant file through your usual Making Tax Digital process.
