Works with Xero

The AI Bookkeeper Built for Xero

SortBooks connects to your Xero account and finds transactions sitting in catch-all accounts like General Expenses. AI suggests the right account for each one, learning from your own past coding. You approve it and SortBooks writes the change back to Xero.

How It Works

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

Connects to Xero in 2 Minutes

Secure OAuth connection to your Xero account. SortBooks reads your chart of accounts and transaction history, then starts suggesting categories for you to approve.

You Approve Every Change

AI suggests a category for every transaction, based on your own chart of accounts and past coding. Nothing changes in Xero until you approve it, and it learns from every approval.

Reconciliation Suggestions

See which transactions match invoices and bills, then reconcile in Xero in a click. Reconciled transactions are locked by Xero, so SortBooks keeps those with an Open in Xero link.

GST/VAT Codes and Estimates

Every approved change is written back to Xero with the right GST or VAT code. Growth and above get a quarterly GST/VAT estimate to check before you lodge.

Real-Time Financial Dashboards

See your P&L, trends and cash position from live Xero data. No more waiting for month-end reports.

AI CFO Chat

Ask questions about your finances in plain English, answered from live Xero data: P&L, trends, cash, who owes you, bills and KPIs. Every dollar figure is checked against Xero.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does SortBooks connect to my Xero account?

SortBooks uses Xero's official OAuth 2.0 API. You click 'Connect Xero', authorise access, and SortBooks starts reading your transactions and chart of accounts straight away. We never see your Xero password.

Will SortBooks work with my existing Xero setup?

Yes. SortBooks reads your existing chart of accounts, tax codes and bank feeds. It learns your specific categorisation patterns from your transaction history and applies them to new transactions.

How accurate is the AI categorisation?

SortBooks learns from your existing coding, so its suggestions follow the way your business already works. You approve every suggestion before it reaches Xero, and it learns from each approval.

Can I use SortBooks alongside my existing bookkeeper?

Absolutely. You can use SortBooks for the day-to-day categorisation, and on Growth and above give your bookkeeper or accountant read-only access to review the books.

Does SortBooks handle GST/VAT/BAS reporting?

SortBooks writes the right GST or VAT code back to Xero with every change you approve. Growth and above also get a quarterly GST/VAT estimate to check before you lodge. It's an estimate, not a lodgement figure, so your BAS or VAT return is still prepared and filed in Xero.
