Accounts are handled automatically

Planyard pulls in your chart of accounts from Xero so you can link them directly to your budget. Once mapped, every processed cost is sent to the correct account in Xero—without lifting a finger.

Chart of accounts pulled from Xero

All accounts from Xero are imported the moment you connect the integration.

Map budget items to accounts

Easily link each budget line in Planyard to the right account code from Xero.

Costs are auto-categorized

When a cost is processed, it’s matched to the correct account based on the budget item.

No manual coding in Xero

Each bill lands in Xero with the right account already applied—accurate from day one.

Tracking categories & contacts, fully automated

Planyard automatically pulls tracking categories and contacts from Xero, so everything stays in sync. You can tag projects with the correct categories and rely on having your full contact list available in Planyard—no manual updates needed.

Instant data import from Xero

Planyard pulls in all your contacts and tracking categories automatically the moment you connect—so you’re ready to go with no setup work.

Suppliers are always matched

Since contacts exist in both systems, costs forwarded to Xero are already linked to the correct supplier.

Consistent tagging of costs

As costs are processed in Planyard, they are automatically tagged with the appropriate tracking category, ensuring consistency in Xero.

No manual updates

Keep your data consistent across tools without re-entering or syncing manually.

Upload your project budget and follow the financial progress in real-time

No credit card required. No sales or IT support needed.

Smart handling of taxes and schemes

Planyard tracks all costs as net values, but by carrying the correct account and supplier data into Xero, we streamline how taxes like VAT, GST, and CIS are applied. Xero takes care of tax rules—Planyard ensures the right info is there from the start.

VAT and GST via Xero accounts

Planyard carries the correct account code into Xero, where VAT or GST rates are automatically applied based on your setup.

CIS applied to the right suppliers

CIS schemes configured in Xero are auto-applied when costs are forwarded—because the supplier and account are already matched.

No tax guesswork

Costs land in Xero fully ready for financial reporting, with tax codes and deductions correctly applied in the background.
