Keeping your books balanced shouldn't mean spending hours copying numbers from one screen to another. If you use Xero accounting software, you can connect it directly to NightsBridge. This guide will explain how our Xero integration works, how it saves you time by automatically sending your invoices and credit notes, and what you need to get started. Let's look at how letting these two systems talk to each other can make your admin a whole lot lighter.
Why choose Xero
When you connect NightsBridge to Xero, any final invoices and credit notes you create in your booking system are handed straight over to your Xero accounting package. This saves you time and stops the headache of manually moving your financial information from one system to another. Xero has more benefits of their software on their website:
Is this right for your property?
While any property can set this up, it is especially helpful if you find yourself handling a large number of extra charges. It is also a smart choice if you don't currently have an easy way to manage your invoices, or if you have an accounting team that needs a simple way to access your financial records.
