Xero HQ | Clients - View clients that need to file GST
Bring back Xero HQ Activity tab. It was the only place you can see which of your clients GST Returns still needed to be filed.

Practice manager | Clients - History (new clients and amendments)
Currently is it not possible to generate an exception report showing new clients added during the previous month, quarter or year. This is an important piece of reporting for CRM purposes. Similarly, it would be nice to generate an exception report showing client changes with appropriate attribute filters.

Workpapers - Integration of bank statement request portal
Integrate a bank statement generator into bank feeds so accountants and bookkeepers can send a request directly to the clients bank for a bank statement for quarterly bank reconciliation. Pre-approved by client when bank feed integration is setup. Alternatively, automated bank statements per quarter generated and uploaded to Xero via bank automation.
112 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for your engagement here. Your insights are essential as we look to improve Xero. We understand the value of a more streamlined way of working.
Right now, your current options are to request documents and information from your clients using the existing queries feature in Workpapers. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
While we don't have this feature on our current roadmap, we'll continue to monitor this request, and make sure to keep you updated if there's any progress.

AU Tax - Restrict staff access to specific returns
We would like Xero to allow an option for certain staff members to be restricted from viewing all tax returns by default - except for specific returns on an individual basis (i.e. the returns they are working on). Firms are now using offshore providers to assist with some tax preparation and it would be best if offshore users were provided with access to only those clients/returns they are working on, rather than the entire tax database. Is this something that might be achievable in the short term?

For non-Xero clients, it would be very useful to be able to use Workpapers by importing client trial balances. Kindly update when this feature will be available.

Day time contact number in individual tax return.
Individual tax return cover page has two options
Mobile number and day time contact number

there is no a way to change this day time number to client contact number automatically.13 votes -
AU Tax: Notification of formation of consolidated group (CGNFT) form
I have moved to Xero Tax from Reckon Elite, but just realised that Xero Tax does not have a Notification of formation of consolidated group schedule.
As a tax agent, it is crucial to have this schedule to update client's consolidation status, including updating joining/leaving subsidiaries.
It would be great if this can be added as quickly as possible.

Workpapers - Ability to add more users
Sometimes we have more than three people working on a job and currently Xero only allows for one preparer, manager and partner on a job. It would be good if we could have more flexibility in this area.

Workpapers - Option to show Decimal Places
When using Xero Workpapers, it imports the figures across from the Xero client file without decimals. Therefore, when I'm comparing these figures in Workpapers to client reports and bank statements these are often slightly out.
Can you please update Workpapers so that there is an option to show decimal places?
26 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of having decimal places visible in workpapers especially for tasks that require a high level of detail. I'm pleased to let you know that our product teams have paid close attention to the idea from our community here as they develop our new Workpapers solution, where all workpapers in the new solution will show 2 decimal places.
For those of you using the existing Workpapers solution, there's no immediate change. You can continue with your current workflow. Once the new solution becomes available, we'll share more information on how to access it.
We're beginning to roll this out to Partners starting with Australia, and will be expanding to other regions in early 2026.

Practice tools| Staff permissions - Granular permissions to timesheets
I would like to place feedback around user settings, The user permissions are limiting and weird ones seem to go together. Currently all staff can see everyone's timesheets, we we're advised to remove the financial setting under financial privilege's to remove staff access to timesheets, in doing so staff could no longer see budgets on jobs, therefore we had to give all users back that permission, in effect allowing all staff access to everyone's timesheets it just doesn't make sense.
It would be really handy if we could assign a user group to a staff member instead of having to…

XPM - Prior period placeholder for recurring job templates
Id like to have a placeholder for the prior period when using the recurring jobs function.
When you complete a bookkeeping job you are doing this on prior period data so the recurring job functionality to use 'period' is not useful as it creates the workflow job a week in advance.5 votes -
Job Manager - Create a 'To do' list of recurring tasks
Create "to do" lists in tasks, and allowing them to become a template - this would make it so much easier when creating jobs - gives staff a tick off for each task if required.
Would be so much easier than currently doing it through a Job Level and having to create tasks with "To Do' lists individually.
6 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you, Fiona.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
We'll be keeping an eye on the traction this idea receives in the community. Thanks.

AU Tax - ability to update status in all tax return tab - additionally add ability to see more fields/columns for each tax return
The tax return view/list can be significantly improved through:
- the All tax return tab - ability to update the status from here. Currently, when we go to Lodge, we have to find the return in the All tab to determine what status it is at, then go to that specific status tab, find the return again, and update the status - this is really cumbersome, particularly when we are lodging numerous returns that are all set at different statuses.
- the ability to see more fields/columns for each tax return to reduce the risk of lodging the incorrect return.…2 votes -
Workpapers - Rearrange support documents in workpaper
Support documents uploaded to a workpaper are listed at the bottom of a workpaper in the order they are uploaded in, it would be a handy feature to be able to reorganise uploaded documents as needed for ease of review and keeping items in say account or alphabetical order.

Workpapers - Bolder highlight for PDF attachments
Workpapers - Preview Attachment Highlighting faded
When previewing a workpaper rather than downloading if you have highlighted using pdf manager this doesnt show that bright. Need to fix as this is hard for a review to know what the team member has highlight.1 voteHi team, thanks for sharing the how bolder highlighting would improve your use of Workpapers. We're pleased to share (as you may have heard through the grapevine) we have a new Workpapers solution in the mix that's being rolled out in phases over the coming months.
With the new solution attachments will be more visible, making it much simpler to review. Right now, you can read more about this new feature on our blog, and I'll be back to share once it's available to everyone, here.

Xero Practice Manager - Pre warning of product Updates
Is it possible to have a "heads up" on what changes are being planned.
For example, the procedure for client deletions has just been changed so that a client with IRD Number/Tax Return cannot be deleted, with no notification to us as users that the change was being contemplated, let alone actually happened.
This then leaves us asking for the change to be undone.
If been advised beforehand, could have suggested options which be suitable to all parties and mean that reprogramming is not required.7 votes -
Xero Practice Manager - Ability to delete client
Ability to Delete a Client from Xero Practice Manager if they have an IRD Number and/or Tax Returns.
Have found that XPM has been updated so can no longer delete a Client if they have either and IRD Number or Tax Returns (including Archived Tax Returns). Client has to be Archived instead. Wanting to delete especially in cases such as the Client being deceased, rather than having to Archive (especially as Archived Clients can still appear in reports).
While could delete the IRD Number and all Tax Returns from the Client, then delete, this could be a long process (as…7 votes -
Job Manager - Bulk delete jobs
Delete Multiple Jobs. When you want to cancel/delete a job, you have to do this one by one. This is okay but if you have like 30 BAS jobs from x client, it is a pain to delete one by one.

Xero HQ | Document portal (without e-sign)
Ability to send a document to a client through Xero portal, without requiring a signature. I use the Document Packs to send tax returns and financials to clients. It would be good to be able to use this function to send packs to clients that don't need a signature.
For example: securely sending a notice of assessment to a client through xero, or sending copies of tax returns to clients that have already signed them in person.
