Homepage - New version needs better colour gradients
The current blue and grey are very dull and not exciting at all! Please change the colours to atleast the bright Xero blue and give users the option of a colour gradient so we can colour the graphs in the homepage with the colour each one prefers.

Client list - Manager column
Under the 'client' page, we really need more column options. The 13 options that are available aren't all that helpful. Why can't we have a column for address, partner, manager, group?
Struggling to see how industry classification would be helpful when searching for clients...81 votesThanks so much for sharing this idea. We’re seeing that this suggestion is gaining support from other partners in the community, which helps us understand its overall importance. While we can’t promise any changes or share timelines, ideas that attract growing support are regularly reviewed by our product team when planning future improvements⭐.

XPH | Client list - Match partial or similar name in search
When you search for a client with client name, old xpm it used to search for anyone with similar name, now it has to be exact eg John James Jones, if you searched John Jones, it would come up, now it won't and you have to type John James Jones for it to appear. If you type John it will come up but what happens when you have 50 Johns to scroll through??? Please fix.
106 votesThanks for feeding back on the Client search, Carey. The way that search works for the new client list experience is a little different to the older experience, and partial matching is not a feature with this new search.
While it's not in our roadmap atm, our team are keen to stay close the support this idea receives and will consider in future planning. I'll share if there are any updates here.

XPM - Bulk address change from Client group
Could you please bring this functionality back?
This feature was previously available, but it appears to have dropped off again. When managing a large group, having to change the address individually for each entity has become very time-consuming and inefficient.
Having the ability to update the address across the group would save a significant amount of time and make the process much easier.
Please consider bringing this functionality back. Thank you.

Tax Manager - Remove 'Ready to Start' tax returns from existing jobs
"Ready to Start" tax returns should not show up in existing jobs. We have all these tax returns that are showing up in Job that are not related to the client, Individual Tax Return showing up under an Activity Statement Job for a company that is completely unrelated. If they tax returns placeholder is going be added it should only appear under the client tax return tab, not in an existing Job. And there should be away to turn it off.
75 votesHi team, as we continue to progress with improvements for 'Ready to start' our product team would love to engage with users that have voted for this here; to get more understanding of your setup, and give input on early designs.
If you'd be interested in meeting with the team you can book a time that works best for you through this link 🗓️ Thanks!

Xero Tax (AU) | Include PAYG instalment for Trust Tax Returns
Please add a PAYG instalments section to Trust Tax Returns (TRT). This ensures that both the ATO and the client are provided with the correct tax payable per the tax return where there are no presently entitled beneficiaries.
34 votesHi everyone, thanks for the engagement so far. We understand why having PAYG instalments included directly within the Trust Tax Return calculation statement would help create a smoother tax preparation workflow.
The idea is to add a dedicated PAYG instalment field or calculation line within the Trust Tax Return, allowing tax professionals to track these amounts directly and reduce the need for manual adjustments.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this tax workflow improvement useful.

Clients – Improve XPM client edit screen (whitespace & layout)
The new client information page has too much white space but the layout with the headings bigger and the line helping you to track from the heading to the actual data is OK. However when you click 'edit details' that all changes.
• the 'old' version only showed the headings and you could expand each heading to find the places you wanted to update. Much easier to scroll through.
• The new layout has too much white space, there is no clear difference between the headings and the titles – too much wasted time scrolling up and down trying to…
81 votesHi team, it’s been interesting to read through all the comments in this thread. We appreciate the ask and the detail you’ve shared around how these changes could make the client edit screen easier to work with when you’re moving quickly between clients.
This idea is now in Gaining Support, which me
This idea is now in Gaining Support, so it’s open for the wider community to add votes and comments. We’ll keep following the discussion as more perspectives are shared.

Tax manager - filter by Partner & Manager
Be able to filter the tax manager list by Partner & Manager
71 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the efficiency filtering by Partner and Manager in Tax Manager could have in your day to day.
While the Tax Manager is still in beta your feedback is helping shape what comes next, so thank you for your input here.
Our product team is exploring filtering options within Tax Manager, so we’ll move this idea to In development, and keep you posted on progress here. You can also check our Xero Central page for pipeline updates.

Client relationships creation
When adding relationships between clients you currently have to select the client and add one relationship at a time.
Rather than this, is it possible to have this system use a checkbox option instead?
that way I can link all the relationships between clients at once to save time.
For example: I want John to be a Shareholder, Director and Secretary of his company.
It would be great if I could give these to john all at once when I am setting up clients in our system.You could have it so that further options like "shares held" are added…

Clients - Add Bare Trust Structure Option
We would like to request the addition of a "Bare Trust" business structure option within the Business Structure field on the main client page in Xero Partner Hub.
Currently, Bare Trusts must be classified under the broader "Trust" category, which makes it difficult to accurately identify and report on these entities separately. As a result, additional manual processes and workarounds are required to distinguish Bare Trusts for reporting, workflow management, and compliance purposes.
Introducing a dedicated "Bare Trust" structure would improve reporting accuracy, streamline internal workflows, and reduce the administrative time spent manually identifying these entities. This enhancement would assist…
23 votesHi everyone, thanks for the engagement here so far. We understand the request to have Bare Trust available as a business structure option when creating a new client, making it easier to accurately classify and manage these entities.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community.

XPH | Homepage - Ability to resize widgets
would be good to be able to resize the widgets to show more of what is important to us individually ie: I would like to be able to make the job widget bigger to show more jobs and shrink the time summary which is not important for my particular role
53 votesHi team, thanks for sharing this! We can see how resizable widgets would make the Partner Hub feel more tailored to each practice. Some teams might want a big view of their Alerts, while others prefer a compact Time Summary—being able to adjust widget sizes would make the dashboard feel more like your own workspace.
Currently, fixed-size widgets can make key information feel crowded or require extra clicks to see more rows of data.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so our product teams can understand the demand for a more flexible dashboard. We’d love to hear from you—which widgets would you most like to expand or resize?

XPH | Homepage - Show tax Filing Errors
In the current/old XPM, the system would let you know on the home page if there was a filing error on a tax return. This meant you were able to see and sort this quickly. Can we please have a Taxes widget which includes a notification when there is an error in a tax return marked as signed (so we can fix things asap).
59 votesHi team, thanks for continuing to engage, and share the importance of easily viewing tax filing errors from the Xero Partner Homepage with us here.
Right now, for AU Practices there are a few tax widgets available that those with View tax return permissions will be able to view.
Both Activity Statements, and Income tax returns widgets will show returns with lodgment errors.
We're also in the process of developing tax widgets for NZ practices and I'll be sure to update you with more on this once it's ready 😊

Tax Manager - Save Filters
You can apply filters, but it would be good to be able to save filters so that they can be used again. Basically the same function that is in Job Manager.
43 votesHi team, really good to hear your feedback on what could improve your experience with new Tax Manager which is currently in beta.
We're listening to the feedback we're receiving about this from our community and while not in the works just yet, the ability to save custom filters is a feature we plan to develop.
You can get more of a view of what's to come in Tax Manager through Xero Central, and I'll keep you updated here once this idea progresses with the team.

Jobs - Reduce whitespace
The new beta job creation doesn't do anything the old one didn't do, everything is just either bigger or surrounded by more white space so there's less information on screen at once. It feels great on a touchscreen on an iPad, but I would assume most users are on a desktop where the experience is now just worse.
73 votesThanks for your feedback on our updates to Jobs within the practice experiences beta. Our team are following and considering all feedback we receive through this forum very closely and I'll be sure to let you know if there are any updates.

XPH | Homepage - Ability to Filter Jobs
It would be helpful to add additional filters to the jobs on the dashboard so that you could filter out certain job states and see true workflow for jobs that are due at that point in time.
43 votesAppreciate you letting us know how filters on the Jobs widget in the new XPH homepage would be useful.
We're keen to get a better idea of the number of users that'd also find this helpful. Feel free to share the link to this idea with other colleagues that'd find this useful too!
We'll share if there are any updates for you here.

XPH - Ability to merge jobs
Ability to merge jobs rather than moving timesheets.
33 votesHi Sue, thanks for sharing this! A merge feature for jobs could make managing duplicates much easier and help keep your records accurate and up to date. It would ensure that notes, tasks, and time entries all stay in one place, giving you a clearer view of each job’s progress and profitability.
We’ve moved this along to Gaining Support so the product team can see how useful a merge tool could be.

XPH - color-coding and distinct tab titles for Tax vs. Practice modules
Previously, the tab colours were green when in XPM and blue when in a tax return, which was a really helpful visual cue.
Now that all tabs are black/grey, it’s much harder to quickly distinguish between them, especially when working across multiple tabs and jumping between information and returns.
Would it be possible to reintroduce a different tab colour when in a tax return?
20 votesHi Gabby, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's clear that when multiple tabs are open, it can be easy to lose track of which tab is the client tax return.
Adding clearer visual cues like colour-coding or more distinct tab titles could help you move between Tax and Practice areas more confidently.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can gauge the interest from the community.

XPH - Multiple Master Admin
Multiple Master Admin
We need to have the option of multiple master admin! I am in a small practice and it makes it quite difficult to not have the few directors have then same access.
20 votesHi Jocelyn, appreciate the suggestion. Relying on a single Master Admin can create a bottleneck and adds risk if that person is unavailable. We understand that allowing multiple Master Admins would help share responsibility and improve continuity across the practice.
At the moment, Master Admin role is limited to one user. However, you can look into the Administrator role for the meantime. I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share it with our product teams.

Tax Manager - Suspended Returns ability to Save Filter
Suspended Returns Filter - so we can filter these and see as a whole which returns are suspended also showing the date suspended / reason etc. Saving this filter along with all filter options to be saved for future quick reference.
7 votesThanks for the feedback, Jo. It's good to hear how more filter and save options within Tax Manager would be useful for your practice.
We'll share if there are any plans made to enable this here.

Allow the stop watch to be started (or restarted) on any unsubmitted time and ADD to existing timesheet
The timer function (clock in top right corner) has the ability to Start a stopwatch. However if a second task takes over you cannot time the new task, then return and recommence the time on an existing entry.
Could we gain the ability to Start the timer again on any existing timesheet that is not submitted or locked. This would allow task switching without necessarily meaning we have to enter multiple fragmented timesheets for a single task.5 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.
