Workpapers - Allow Document button to be used in Archived workpapers to see documents for that account
So annoying to open an archived workpaper pack, want to check a document that was attached to an account and you can't! Have to scroll down and find it amongst all of the attached documents from that whole workpaper. Nightmare!

Job Manager: Bulk importing/creation of Jobs - to include Tasks with Estimated Time and Staff on Job
Bulk importing/creation of Jobs - to include Tasks with Estimated Time and Staff on Job.
I would like to do a bulk creation of the Job and also then bulk creation of Tasks and Estimated Time, and to allocate to Staff on the Job. Or an easy entry area to update the Job Task Estimated time so you don't have to enter into each job individually to enter this data.19 votes -
Xero Tax (AU) | One click tax estimate
One click tax estimate.
We often just print a tax estimate and it would be great to have one button for the tax estimate rather than having to unclick all the other options in the print menu.18 votes -
VAT - Automatically calculate returns when switching VAT scheme
Hello,
I would like for Xero to automatically calculate the VAT returns accurately when switching from a VAT scheme to another. Currently, we need to manually adjust the returns to avoid any duplications caused by the transition. There is room for a lot of human error when doing this and I believe this feature is extremely important.
9 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request is for Xero to automatically calculate the VAT adjustments needed when moving between VAT schemes, without you needing to finalise the current VAT return first.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support 💥 so other customers can vote, comment, and share how this would help their workflow. That feedback helps our product team better understand the level of demand and the different scenarios customers need supported.

XPM - Allow Practice Staff to Edit Contacts, Groups, and Relationships without Full Edit Access
Have a separation of Client Edit privileges to allow practice staff to edit Contacts, Groups, and Relationships without having full edit access (e.g. will not be able to edit client address, email address, Agent, etc)
110 votesHi team, thanks for sharing your feedback on permissions here. We really appreciate the strong interest in this area.
With the new client and staff experience, some of you may have already seen the updated Client permissions, which help address part of this need. We’ve also recently introduced a change that allows staff with view-only access to create and edit notes, which also reflects some of the feedback raised.
To be transparent, we don't have any plans in the near term to enable staff to edit contact groups or relationships without full edit access. As the team continues to develop the practice experience, they’ll keep monitoring feedback in this area, and if anything changes we’ll be sure to share an update here.

Practice tools | New Client - Option to add Staff
We work in small teams and it would be great if we could get a "Staff" drop down added for the client set up. So we could know the partner on the account, the lead accountant/manager and the staff member that works on the file so we know who to approach for various issues :)

Workpapers - Integrate with the Xero trial balance
Integrate workpapers module into Xero with direct links to the Xero trial balance. Importing the trial balance is impractical and time wasting and the allocation of the account balances within workpapers is dependant on the report code allocations. You should have to option to view all the account balances and the net profit or loss from the trial balance when viewing workpapers to ensure all balance sheet accounst are included.

Workpapers - Enable use for non-Xero clients
For non-Xero clients, it would be very useful to be able to use workpapers and include the actual account balance from the Client's accounts, rather than displaying the Xero account balance as nil. As a practice, we use Xero workpapers, but not every single client uses Xero.

AU TAX - Send tax returns to clients directly through Xero Tax
It would be useful to be able to email tax returns direct from XERO tax. Returns sent by XERO sign can only be viewed by a client in their entirity prior to signing if they have an ADOBE account.

User access - Administrators HQ access to client files
We are getting an increasing amount of (sometimes angry) pushback from clients where when we add Administrators to our HQ account, they are automatically given full permissions over any linked client Xero files, as well as all our ledger files. We are a large firm with over 15 Administrators.
Please give us the ability to CHOOSE, if we want to add all administrators to all files.
OR
Create an administrator role that doesnt need to add them as a USER to each client file.Imagine you have a Xero file for your own personal business, and suddenly notice 13 people…
9 votesHi team, we understand and appreciate the concerns around permission sets and giving staff access to clients. The Xero Partner Hub will introduce new permissions with more granularity to control what your staff can see and access within client files. These permissions will be independent of the practice role and can be assigned to anyone.
The Admin role will continue to have automatic access to practice owned orgs, however you may like to consider whether existing staff still need this permission or if they can instead be given the Standard role with additional permissions for managing Clients or Staff. I'll return to share as this goes live. Thanks

XPM - Invoice Pay Now function
Invoices issued from XPM need to have the ability to have payment services so that clients can click on a Pay Now button and pay the invoice immediately in order to:
- improve cashflow by collecting monies as soon as possible
- remove the need to push invoices into blue xero to gain access to Pay Now functionality
- remove double handling of invoices that practice staff originate in XPM and then operations staff have to issue from blue Xero. Practice staff should be able to manage practice invoices without having to involve operations staff.11 votes -
AU Tax - Agent nomination from Xero
Recent new requirements from the ATO mean that businesses have to nominate new BAS and tax agents via ATO Online Services for Business, before the Agent can add them on their end (on ATO Client Services for Agents). This requires the tax payer to have set up MyGovID, gone into RAM and log into ATO Online Services for Business. The majority of clients have no idea how to do any of this. It would be good, if there was a way that they could nominate the Agent from Xero instead. Perhaps the linking of the Xero file to the ATO…

XPM/XPH - Add Pause button
When using the start button in the timesheets in XPM to track time on a job, the option for a pause button to pause your time, then to unpause and keep recording your time.
184 votesHi everyone, we get how a 'pause' button would help when juggling multiple tasks, and avoid the need to stop and restart the timer. We want to be honest that there aren't any plans for developing a pause option within XPM. Our teams focus for the time being is on development of the unified practice experience that'll soon be released with the Xero Partner Hub. You can read more on this through our website.

NZ Tax - IR3B Business Schedule with Fixed Asset Schedule
Given Xero has an IR3 Rental Schedule form and Home Office Work Papers why does the business schedule workpaper only have line by line capability and not a business schedule equivalent to IR's IR3B business schedule? Why is this helpful, it means we have the ability to put in front of the client not only the income and expenses relating to their small enterprise (i.e. usually don't warrant an accounting product) and provides traceability for fixed assets and depreciation claimed.
18 votesH everyone, we appreciate your feedback and support in this idea, however want to be open that this isn't something we have planned in the near term.
We're continuing to keep an eye on the support here and will share if there are any updates.

Ask Queries - Automated reminders
The ability to have automated reminders on Ask queries would save substantial time (and reduce likelihood of things getting forgotten) and reduce likelihood of having to go to an alternative paid app in order to get this functionality (eg ContentSnare)21 votes -

NZ Tax - Generate all provisional tax payment letters prior to the due date passing
IRD has $ for 3 provisional tax payment dates, however the Tax Payments listing only shows the next provisional tax payment due and misses the 2nd and 3rd ones until the date of each provisional tax payment has passed. It would be more accurate to have all tax payments showing on their due date regardless of the date of viewing.

Xero Tax(AU) - Separate user permissions for 'Mark as Approved' and 'Out to Sign'
It doesn't make sense that these are part of the same privilege checkbox.
Marking something as Approved is something that a senior person (manager/partner) is responsible for.
Marking something as Out to Sign is something that an administration person is responsible for.
Options are:
Give the admin person the privilege and they can approve something they shouldn't be able to (risk to firm).
Not give the admin the privilege and the manager has to log back into Xero Tax to mark it as out to sign after the admin person has packaged it up and sent it out (waste of…29 votes -
Workpapers - Carry existing packs forward when creating new ones
The entire workpapers function is inefficient and burdensome. It would be much better to have packs carry forward when creating new packs so that you don't have to add all the notes and work papers back each time. When you roll a work paper pack, having to check & uncheck all the irrelevant sections is a waste of time that would also be alleviated by just being able to roll the prior period pack. The ability to use excel sheets with linked data to the accounts in Xero would be greatly beneficial. Another aggravating and time consuming issue is not…
15 votesHi team! We're happy to announce that the ability to roll forward existing workpaper packs, URL's and Notes is coming with our new Xero Workpapers. This new solution leverages permanent documents, and has improved data preservation to help minimise the manual rework each year, and get a head start with rolling over key information from previous years.
We're planning ongoing enhancements to this new solution to ensure your workflow is robust and intuitive. We're starting release to our Australian partners now, and other regions will have access from early 2026. We'll keep you updated as the launch for this goes wider.
