Xero AI Automation & n8n Integration
AI-powered Xero workflows for Australian SMBs — invoices, reconciliation, reporting.
Automate invoice ingestion, coding, reconciliation reminders, and management reporting with n8n and AI — on top of Xero, the most-used accounting platform for Australian businesses.
What is Xero?
Xero is a cloud accounting platform used by most Australian SMBs and professional services firms. Its API is mature and well-suited to automation. SyncBricks pairs Xero with AI models to handle the fiddly human work that Xero alone can't: parsing messy supplier invoices, categorising spend, chasing overdue accounts.
Why automate Xero with AI?
Bookkeepers and finance managers spend hours per week on invoice data entry, coding errors, chasing missing approvals, and stitching Xero data into board reports. AI automation removes most of that — accurately and auditably.
Workflow recipes we typically ship
Invoice ingestion agent
Inbox/SharePoint receives PDF invoice → LLM extracts supplier, line items, GST, PO number → creates draft bill in Xero → flags exceptions to Teams.
AR chase sequences
Daily overdue invoice pull → AI drafts a tone-matched follow-up email (3-stage) → sends via Outlook or Gmail → logs the touch back to Xero.
Board pack generator
Monthly close → n8n pulls Xero P&L, BS, cash → AI writes the commentary → assembles Google Slides / PDF → emails to CEO and board.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace my bookkeeper?
No — it frees them from data entry so they can focus on controls, reporting, and advisory.
Can you handle BAS prep?
The data pipeline can prepare BAS inputs, but final lodgement stays with your tax agent.
