What is live now
Integrations and your accounting
Keep job work in Leadhand and send issued invoices and recorded payments to Xero. Check exactly what moves and the account requirements below. QuickBooks Online is in final verification, MYOB is planned, and card payments run through Stripe.
Free. No credit card.
Where each one is up to
No green ticks next to things that are not built yet. This is the real state of play, and we will keep it current as connections land.
Xero
AvailableConnect your Xero organisation to send issued Leadhand invoices and payments recorded against them to Xero. Check the account requirements below and verify your first invoice in both systems before relying on the connection.
QuickBooks
On the wayQuickBooks Online sync is built and going through final verification as we come out of early access. If QBO is the one you use, tell us and we will get you connected and confirm it end to end with you.
MYOB
PlannedMYOB is planned after QuickBooks. It is not connected yet, so we will not pretend it is. In the meantime you can export your invoices and data to bring across, and you can tell us if MYOB is the one you need so we know it matters to you.
Stripe
AvailableCard payments on your invoices run through Stripe, so customers can pay you by card and the money lands in your account. This is the payments side rather than an accounting sync.
Export your data
AvailableYou can export your invoices and data whether or not you connect an accounting package. Your business owns its data in Leadhand, and you can take it out whenever you want.
How an invoice moves from Leadhand to Xero
- Connect the correct Xero organisation in Settings > Integrations.
- Review your invoice in Leadhand, then mark it as sent. Leadhand attempts to create an authorised sales invoice in Xero with its number, dates, line items and GST treatment. Draft and void invoices are excluded.
- Check the contact and totals in Xero. Contacts are matched by exact name; a new contact is created when that name is not found. Different spellings or shared names need particular care.
- Record a payment in Leadhand against the synced invoice. Leadhand attempts to send that payment to Xero. Check the payment and destination bank account there before treating the books as reconciled.
Check the fit before switching
Invoice lines use sales account code 200. Payment sync currently requires exactly one active bank account. If your setup differs, contact us before depending on sync. Keep the bank accounts your business needs.
This connection sends records from Leadhand to Xero. Xero edits and payments do not flow back into Leadhand. Later edits to an already synced invoice are not automatically copied across. Jobs, bookings, quotes, payroll and purchase orders are outside this sync. Agree with your bookkeeper where corrections and reconciliation will be handled.
Start with one invoice and verify the result in both systems. If something fails, check the invoice status and connection before retrying or creating another record. Get setup or sync help.
Export your records whenever you need them
Xero is live. QuickBooks is in final verification and MYOB is planned. Until the connection you need is ready, you can export your invoices and data and bring them into your accounting package the way you do now.
If a particular integration is the thing standing between you and switching, tell us. Knowing which tools real businesses need helps us decide what to build next, and we will tell you the current timing before you commit.
Integration questions, answered straight
Does Leadhand sync with Xero right now?
Yes. The current connection sends issued invoices and payments recorded in Leadhand to Xero. Draft and void invoices do not sync. It does not bring Xero edits or payments back into Leadhand, or continuously update an invoice after it has synced.
What do I need to check in Xero first?
Invoice lines use sales account code 200. Automatic payment sync currently needs exactly one active bank account in Xero. If your chart of accounts is different or you have several bank accounts, ask us to check the fit before relying on sync. Keep the bank accounts your business needs; do not deactivate them to fit an integration.
What if an invoice has not reached Xero?
Check the invoice's Xero status and your connection in Settings > Integrations. Reconnect if requested, then use Sync to Xero on the issued invoice and check the result in both systems. If a previous attempt may have reached Xero, check there before recreating anything. Contact support if the error remains or a payment has not appeared.
What about MYOB and QuickBooks?
QuickBooks Online sync is built and in final verification as we come out of early access - tell us if you use it and we will get you connected and confirm it end to end. MYOB is planned after that; it is not connected yet and we will not pretend it is. You can export your invoices and data in the meantime.
How do card payments work?
Card payments on your invoices run through Stripe. That is the payments side of things, separate from an accounting sync. It means your customers can pay you by card and the money comes through to you.
Can I get my data out if I need it elsewhere?
Yes. You can export your invoices and data with or without an accounting connection. Your business owns its data in Leadhand.
Need a particular integration?
Tell us which one and we will tell you where it sits and when it is coming. No sales runaround.
