Xero Migration: Rawcliffe's Steps to Implementation
The following article outlines the Xero Migration process which means switching a client's bookkeeping systems over to Xero Cloud Accounting. Once a Client informs us they would like to begin using Xero, we action the following steps...
Rawcliffe & Co will allocate a Xero subscription to the client's business and enter the opening balances. They are then added as a User via their preferred email address.
The client will receive an email from Xero inviting them to setup an account and to join their Business's Xero Account as a User. Clients who do their own bookkeeping are ready to begin using the software.
On request we can send support articles and online links to video walk throughs. We also offer in house training with one of our Xero certified team members.
Both Bookkeeping and Non-Bookkeeping clients can use their Xero Login to setup bank feeds for bank accounts. [This means they will no longer need to send us bank statements.]
