FieldFlow Xero Integration

The FieldFlow Xero integration creates a bidirectional data sync between your field operations and accounting systems. When your technicians complete jobs and generate invoices in FieldFlow, those invoices automatically push to Xero with the correct line items, tax codes, and account mappings. Customer records sync between both platforms, ensuring contact information, billing addresses, and payment terms stay consistent.

Key capabilities include:

• Automated invoice syncing: Completed job invoices flow from FieldFlow to Xero without manual entry
• Payment reconciliation: Payments recorded in either system update both platforms
• Customer data synchronization: New customers added in FieldFlow appear in Xero automatically
• Chart of accounts mapping: Service types and materials map to your specific Xero accounts
• Job costing integration: Track profitability by syncing labor, materials, and overhead costs

This eliminates the end-of-day data entry that typically consumes 30-60 minutes of administrative time for field service businesses.

Setting up the FieldFlow Xero integration requires administrator access to both platforms and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. The connection uses OAuth authentication for secure, token-based access without sharing passwords.

Follow these steps to establish the integration:

1. Log into FieldFlow and navigate to Settings > Integrations
2. Select Xero from the available integrations list
3. Click Connect to Xero and authorize FieldFlow to access your Xero organization
4. Map your FieldFlow service categories to corresponding Xero income accounts
5. Configure tax rate mappings to match your regional requirements
6. Set your sync preferences (real-time or scheduled batch sync)
7. Choose whether to sync historical data or start fresh from the connection date

After initial setup, test the integration by creating a sample invoice in FieldFlow and verifying it appears correctly in Xero with proper account coding and customer assignment.

The FieldFlow Xero integration is designed for field service contractors who need tight coordination between operations and accounting. It's particularly valuable for businesses that have outgrown basic invoicing tools but want to maintain Xero as their accounting platform rather than switching to an all-in-one system.

Common users include:

• HVAC contractors managing installation projects and recurring maintenance contracts
• Electrical service companies tracking time-and-materials jobs with multiple technicians
• Plumbing businesses handling emergency service calls and scheduled appointments
• Multi-trade contractors running separate service divisions under one business entity
• Growing service businesses with 5-50 field technicians who need real-time financial visibility

Businesses using this integration typically process 100+ invoices monthly and need their bookkeeper or accountant to access clean, organized financial data without manual cleanup. It's especially useful for companies with external accounting firms who prefer working in Xero.
