Why Xero
The least-bad baseline for Singapore SMEs
Xero has the best Singapore bank-feed coverage and the deepest small-business app ecosystem. It’s not magic. It’s just the least-bad starting point — and for what we do, that matters.
What we do · Operating layer
Xero setup, cleanup, and workflows for businesses that need clean numbers.
Whether you're moving onto Xero for the first time or inheriting an account that's become a mess, we get it to a place where the numbers are trustworthy and the workflow is sustainable.
New Xero setup
Start with a chart of accounts designed for your business.
We set Xero up the way an experienced bookkeeper would have done from the start — with a chart of accounts built around how your business actually operates, not a generic template.
- —Xero subscription setup
- —Migration from spreadsheets or legacy systems
- —Chart of accounts design
- —Singapore bank feeds (DBS, OCBC, UOB, and others available via Xero)
- —Reconciliation rules
- —App integrations (POS, payroll, inventory)
- —Owner dashboard setup
Xero cleanup
When your Xero is a mess, we fix it.
Duplicated transactions, miscoded entries, broken bank feeds, unreconciled balances going back months — we work through it methodically and get you to a clean current position.
- —Historical reconciliation
- —Chart of accounts re-design
- —Duplicate transaction cleanup
- —Coding correction across prior periods
- —Catch-up to current period
- —Handover documentation
The thinking
Xero is the baseline. The workflow around it is the product.
What it isn't
Xero alone doesn’t fix bad workflows
Software doesn’t replace process. We don’t just turn Xero on — we design the workflow around it so the data going in is clean and the reports coming out are usable.
Common questions
What people ask before bringing us in on Xero.
Which Singapore banks have direct feeds into Xero?
Xero has direct bank feeds with DBS, OCBC, and UOB, and additional Singapore-relevant feeds are available through Xero's network. Where a direct feed isn't available, we set up alternative integration paths.
How long does a Xero cleanup take?
It depends on how far back the issues go and how many transactions are involved. A typical cleanup for a small business is scoped after a short review of the current state — we tell you up front how long it should take and what it will cost.
Can Acuitas migrate us onto Xero from spreadsheets or another system?
Yes. We migrate from spreadsheets, MYOB, QuickBooks, and other accounting systems. The migration includes chart-of-accounts design, opening-balance import, and reconciliation rules so the new Xero starts clean.
