The Xero Hive
Xero Set-Up, Clean-Up & Training Camden NSW
Helping you make sense of Xero, not just use it.
Xero is meant to make business finances easier.

That is where The Xero Hive comes in.

Because Xero should not just hold your numbers.
It should help you understand them.

Common FAQs
What does Xero support include?
Xero support may include setup, clean-up, bank feeds, chart of accounts, payroll setup, invoice settings, reporting dashboards, troubleshooting, migration support and training.
The exact support depends on your business, your current Xero file and what you need help understanding.
Can you help set up Xero for a new business?
Yes.
Sarah can help set up Xero for a new business, including key settings, bank feeds, chart of accounts, invoicing, payroll basics and reporting foundations.
A good setup from the beginning can save a lot of confusion later.
Can you clean up a messy Xero file?
Yes.
If your Xero file has unreconciled transactions, coding issues, old items, duplicate entries or reports that do not look right, Sarah can review the file and help identify what needs attention.
There is no judgement. Many Xero files become messy because the business grows and the setup does not grow with it.
What is a Xero health check?
A Xero health check is a focused review of your Xero file.
It helps identify what looks clear, what may need cleaning up, what settings may need reviewing and whether the file is giving you reliable information.
It is often a good first step before a bigger clean-up, bookkeeping review or reporting setup.
Can you help me move from MYOB or QuickBooks to Xero?
Yes.
Sarah can support businesses transitioning from MYOB, QuickBooks, spreadsheets or another system into Xero.
This may include reviewing your current setup, planning the move, setting up Xero and helping you understand what information needs to be transferred or reviewed.
Do I need Xero training if I already have a bookkeeper or accountant?
It can still be helpful.
Even if someone else handles your bookkeeping or accounting, understanding the basics of Xero can help you read reports, check invoices, review cash flow and have better conversations with the people supporting your business.
You do not need to become an expert.
But you should feel confident enough to understand what is happening.
Can Xero help with payroll?
Yes, Xero Payroll can help manage parts of the payroll process, including employee details, pay runs, leave, super and payroll reporting.
However, payroll still needs to be set up carefully and reviewed properly, especially if you have employees, awards, allowances, leave balances or EOFY requirements.
Why do my Xero reports not look right?
Reports may not look right if transactions are unreconciled, accounts are coded incorrectly, bank feeds are duplicated, payroll is not set up properly, opening balances are wrong or old items have not been cleaned up.
A Xero review can help identify what is affecting the reliability of your reports.
Do you offer Xero support in Camden, Narellan, Campbelltown and Western Sydney?
Yes.
SM Consulting Group is based in Spring Farm and supports businesses across Camden, Narellan, Gregory Hills, Campbelltown, Macarthur, Western Sydney and NSW.
Support may be provided online, in person or through a mix of both depending on the service.
How much does Xero setup, clean-up or training cost?
The cost depends on what your business needs.
A one-on-one training session will look different from a full Xero setup, transition to Xero, payroll setup or messy file clean-up.
The best starting point is to book a discovery call so Sarah can understand what is happening and recommend the right next step.
