Xero is the accounting layer your bookkeeper actually wants to work in. Glo Invoice is the field-facing invoicing layer your crew actually wants to use. Run day-to-day quoting, invoicing, and payments in Glo Invoice — then hand monthly totals off to Xero via CSV export so your accountant closes the books without wrestling a trade-specific tool they don't understand.
How the workflow works
Bill in Glo Invoice
Quote, invoice, and collect payments in Glo Invoice — from the truck, on-site, or from your desk.
Export monthly
From Reports, export invoices, payments, and expenses as CSV filtered by month and status.
Import into Xero
Your bookkeeper imports the CSV as sales invoices, payments, and bills — mapping to Xero chart-of-accounts codes.
Reconcile the bank
Xero handles bank reconciliation, BAS/VAT reporting, and year-end. You stay out of the accounting software.

FAQ
Is there a live Xero sync?
Not today. The recommended workflow is monthly CSV export to Xero — the same workflow most bookkeepers already use and prefer.
Does Glo Invoice handle GST and VAT correctly?
Yes. Set your tax jurisdiction in Settings; GST (AU/NZ), VAT (UK), and US sales tax all work per-line-item with the right rounding rules.
Can my accountant see my Glo Invoice data directly?
Yes. Invite them as a team member with view access, or export everything to CSV.
Do I need Xero to use Glo Invoice?
No. Xero is optional. Many Glo Invoice customers use it only for the CSV export at year-end.
