Use this interactive demo to walk through the process of integrating your FreshBooks account with Xero.

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to connect FreshBooks to Xero using Zapier to bridge the two platforms. This automation ensures your B2B financial data stays consistent across both systems.

‍

  1. Log in to your Zapier account and select Create Zap.
  2. Click Trigger and search for FreshBooks.
  3. Select FreshBooks as your Trigger.
  4. Select which event and account before continuing.
  5. Connect your specific FreshBooks account.
  6. Click Continue located in the bottom right corner.
  7. Authorize your FreshBooks account and click Test Trigger.
  8. Select which record to use before clicking Continue with selected record.
  9. Select Xero as the action app.
  10. Choose the corresponding event. (e.g., Create Sales Invoice or Create Payment)
  11. Click Continue.
  12. Finalize field mappings to ensure accurate invoice replication, then click Continue.
  13. Click the Test step button at the bottom of the mapping screen.
  14. In the lower right corner, click the Publish button to activate the sync.

📌 Why this matters

This integration eliminates the tedious double-entry that drains hours from your accounting workflow. When client invoices automatically flow from FreshBooks to Xero, you maintain accurate financial records without manual copying that introduces errors.

The real advantage goes beyond time savings: synchronized data means your cash flow reporting, tax preparation, and financial analysis all work from the same source of truth. You can confidently run reports in Xero knowing they reflect your actual FreshBooks billing activity, making month-end reconciliation virtually effortless.
