Xero to TaxDome_

Yes, Xero connects to TaxDome through a native integration that syncs client data and imports invoice information. TaxDome is an all-in-one practice management platform for accounting firms — handling CRM, workflows, document management, e-signatures, and client portals. Formulaic builds the automation layer that coordinates workflows between TaxDome’s practice management and Xero’s accounting, turning basic data sync into a production workflow.

Short answer: Yes, Xero connects to TaxDome via native integration. Formulaic builds automated client sync, invoice reconciliation, and workflow triggers between accounting and practice management.

What data moves between Xero and TaxDome

Client data syncs between both platforms. Xero contact records map to TaxDome client accounts — company name, contact details, billing address, and VAT registration. New clients created in either system can sync to the other, keeping the practice’s client list consistent.

Invoice data flows from Xero to TaxDome for practice-level reporting. Invoices raised, payments received, and outstanding balances are visible within TaxDome’s client records, giving the practice team a complete view without switching to Xero.

Service-level data maps TaxDome’s service categories (annual accounts, tax return, bookkeeping, payroll) to Xero’s invoicing structure. This enables reporting by service type across the practice.

Workflow trigger data connects Xero events to TaxDome workflows. When a client pays their accounts preparation invoice in Xero, TaxDome can advance the client’s workflow to the next stage. When MTD filing completes in Xero, TaxDome marks the task as done.

The native integration

TaxDome’s native Xero integration handles basic client sync and invoice importing. It provides a workable connection between the two platforms for practices with straightforward needs.

Where it falls short: no automatic workflow triggers from Xero events. No service-level mapping for practice reporting. No consolidated view combining TaxDome job tracking with Xero financial data. The native integration syncs data but does not coordinate workflows.

What Formulaic builds

Formulaic builds a workflow coordination layer between Xero’s API and TaxDome’s API. The system turns data sync into process automation.

Client lifecycle management creates TaxDome accounts from new Xero contacts and keeps both records aligned. When client details change in either system, the update propagates.

Workflow triggers connect Xero events to TaxDome job progression. Invoice payment triggers workflow advancement. MTD submission confirmation marks TaxDome tasks as complete. Year-end date passing triggers the annual accounts workflow.

Service-level reporting maps TaxDome jobs to Xero invoice line items. The practice can report on revenue by service type, fee recovery by service, and WIP across the entire client base.

Formulaic’s deployment data shows that workflow coordination between Xero and TaxDome saves practice managers 3-5 hours per week in manual status checking and workflow advancement.
