How We Help

For Hospitality & Tourism and Professional Services businesses across Australia, the disconnect between Kounta and Xero is a daily frustration. Our custom integration bridges your industry tools and accounting & finance systems, ensuring contacts and invoices flow seamlessly without manual intervention. On the technical side, Kounta uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Xero authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unified Customers Across Both Platforms

Customers in Kounta and contacts in Xero stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Kounta and Xero in sync, even as your business doubles.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between Kounta and Xero by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Unlock Xero Value

Xero stands out because australian-first design means GST, BAS, and Single Touch Payroll are built in rather than bolted on as afterthoughts. Integrating it with Kounta means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.
