Works with Xero

An AI Agent That Runs Your Xero Books

SortBooks does the legwork on your Xero coding. It looks through your transactions, finds the ones sitting in catch-all accounts and suggests the right account for each, learning from your own past coding. You approve, and SortBooks writes the change back to Xero.

How It Works

Everything you need for automated bookkeeping - built into one platform.

Background Transaction Review

SortBooks syncs with Xero in the background. When new transactions land in catch-all accounts, the AI agent suggests a category and queues it for your approval.

Learns Your Business Rules

The AI agent builds a model of your specific business. It learns which suppliers map to which accounts, how you categorise different transaction types, and applies those rules consistently.

Proactive Alerts & Actions

The agent doesn't wait for you to check. A weekly CFO brief lands in your inbox, and you'll be told if your Xero connection needs reconnecting.

Multi-Entity Management

Running more than one Xero organisation? Scale covers up to 3 organisations and Practice covers 10 client organisations, with a multi-client dashboard. Each organisation learns from its own coding.

Continuous Improvement

Every approval and correction teaches the agent. It learns from your choices and applies them to similar transactions in future.

Accountant Collaboration

On Growth and above, invite your accountant with read-only access so they can review the agent's work and your numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'AI agent' mean in the context of bookkeeping?

An AI agent is software that does work on your behalf. SortBooks's agent syncs with Xero, reviews transactions in catch-all accounts and prepares a suggested category for each. Nothing is written to Xero until you approve it.

How is this different from Xero's bank rules?

Xero's bank rules are static pattern matching - you create rules manually and they match exact text. SortBooks's AI agent understands context, handles variations, learns from corrections and improves over time. It can categorise transactions it's never seen before.

Can the AI agent make mistakes?

Yes, which is why nothing reaches Xero until you approve it. Every correction teaches the agent, and every change is recorded in an activity log, so you always have full visibility and control.

Does the agent work in real-time?

SortBooks syncs with Xero in the background on a schedule, and you can trigger a manual sync at any time. New transactions are then ready for review.
