Xero Advisor Financials - Automatically fill notes or alert if figures don't match
Currently notes need to be updated manually on the financial statements (as far as I am aware). New accounts need to be added to the respective notes otherwise the figure in the notes will not match the figures in the financial statements.
I feel that this is inviting error as inevitably there will be times where this process is overlooked.it would significantly simplify the process if Xero recognises where a note is connected to a financial statement line item, and then automatically fills in the notes with the same accounts grouped in the financials.
at the very least, there…5 votesHi community, I'm Brigitte, a Senior Product Manager from our Xero reporting team. We’re doing some research on how partners manage notes in Y/E financial reports, and we’d love to hear about your current workflow using report templates.

Bank Accounts - Include bank accounts with COA import
Enable a Bank account to be created when the Chart of Accounts we have created in HQ is imported. Currently, this is not possible. All Bank accounts in the COA need to be changed to Current Assets, and then in the newly created Xero Blue organisation file, the "Bank" accounts have to be deleted and created again! Very annoying. The overall process is great, but this is annoying. We have many bank accounts in our various standard chart of accounts. I want to include the bank accounts so that my staff know the account numbers to use when they set…

NZ Tax - Change a tax payment letter to nil

Xero HQ - View Awaiting approval bills across multiple companies
When you have multiple companies using Xero and utilise the function to approve bills in Xero for audit tracking purposes you need a way to view the number of bills "Awaiting approval" in all of the companies in one place.
It is very time consuming to open each company individually in order to confirm that there are bills that need approval.

Xero Tax (AU) - Ability to hide client / contact fields
Ability to hide more sensitive data from staff.
I have an employee who works overseas. Currently I think we can only hide the TFN details but it would be good to also be able to hide date of birth, address and now Director ID details.
They do not need to see all of the sensitive data when preparing tax returns so it would be good to have some options of what data we can hide from employees.
Thanks

Xero HQ | Reporting - Bank feeds per client
A report showing which clients are using which bank feeds.
This would allow easy updates to client and internally when we become aware of a bank feed causing duplications or other errors.5 votes -
AU Tax - ATO warning for Crypto Currency and CGT disposals when validating returns
we can now do a prefilling of a return very easily, however, we still need to go into the ATO website to download the full prefilling report (approximate 2 -3 minutes) to find any ATO warnings such a Crypto currency transactions or Capital Gain Disposals for shares....or even worse the client has a warning about excessive prior year deductions claimed. If this was to come across when Xero did the download ATO prefilling and come up on the Xero warning when you validate the returns ...this would save time and potential missing of these warnings

Xero HQ: Manage user access for organisations with external subscriber
My Xero - Managing staff access to clients
I suppose we have a large-ish accountancy - in My Xero I get a full list of all clients I get access to; that's 25 pages of clients at 50 clients per page. I see all clients irrespective of whether the subscriber is internal (within our accountancy) or external (the client).
We need to add a new admin staff member and give them “Manage users” + “Payroll admin” to all entities. In My Xero, I drill down into the Staff list, click on the new user and it says I have access…

Workpaper - Ability to select defaults
Why do we need to have all of the 'Z do not use' sections appear when setting up a new pack that then need to be unticked? It would be better to have them unticked in the first place

Workpapers - Zoom feature
Xero Workpapers needs to be able zoom in on the attached documents instead of downloading to be able to view clearly

It'll be a phased release, starting with Australia and expanding to other regions in 2026. I'll keep you updated here on it's release.

AU Tax - Hold selection across multiple pages
Items that are selected remain selected even when filters or search queries are applied. This ensures that selection is not lost when the view changes.
4 votesHi team, this idea has been created off the back of an original post here to get a better idea of the interest for being able to hold selections across status lists within AU Tax.
While we don't have immediate plans around this it would be good to gauge the wider interest in this from the community here. Thanks

AU Tax - Show/hide columns
Users have control over which columns are visible and the order in which they appear. This is managed through drag-and-drop functionality or by checking/unchecking column options.
4 votesHi everyone, we have started this idea off the back of the original post here so we can get an understanding of support for being able to show or hide columns on a user basis within AU Tax.
Being upfront, we don't have any plans for this at present but would like to get an idea of the interest through this idea.

AU Tax | Trust Tax Returns - Multi business Worksheets
After discussion with Xero support it would be beneficial to have the option for multiple business worksheets added to the Trust Tax Returns.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand you’re looking for a way to manage multiple business activities within a single Trust Tax Return.
The suggestion is to support multiple business worksheets within one return, making it easier to capture different business streams separately while keeping the tax file organised.
For now, some practices use external spreadsheets to consolidate and track this information before completing the return. We'll continue to track the interest on this idea here.

AU Tax - Automatically pre-fill PAYG instalments paid or raised into tax returns
It would be good if Xero tax is able to prefill the PAYG Instalments paid/raised in the tax returns.
4 votesHi Sharleen, appreciate you raising this idea. We understand that having PAYG instalment details flow through to tax returns would help make the process smoother and reduce the need to manually check separate records.
We'll continue to track interest and engagement for our product teams to understand the value of improving how PAYG instalment information flows into tax returns.

Practice tools | Client list - IRD Number visible
Would it be possible to have the IRD number visible on the front client page (as an option on the column dropdown)
4 votesThanks for your feedback on adding IRD numbers to the client list view. We appreciate you sharing how this could help streamline your workflows.
We're moving this idea to Gaining support, which means the community team have reviewed it and it's now open for votes and comments from the community.

Xero Sign - client details added automatically
Xero sign in document packs - you currently need to manually input the client's details to add their signature for each document pack (for docs with no auto signing feature like tax returns).
It would be great if there was an option to simply select a client from XPM as all the details are already there (First name/Last name/Email)
4 votesHi everyone ✨ Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate the time taken to do this and we would like to be completely transparent around this Idea. It is not in the immediate future planning however we have moved the Idea to Gaining Support. Your continued votes and comments help us understand the impact and prioritize improvements that matter most to you.

Staff - Notify staff member of access level change
When adding a staff member to a client Xero file with advisor access, previously I was able to notify the staff member. That wasn't an option which meant I needed to go and manually tell the team member that I've added them.
I like being able to choose if I want to notify them or not because if it's something holding up workflow I want them to know so they can continue working but if I'm just adding them to the team they'll expect to have access so I won't want to notify them in that scenario.
4 votesAppreciate your feedback on the beta experience, Sarah. We'll start to get a sense of the interest from the idea here and I'll be sure to share if there are any updates planned for notification of permission changes.

AU Tax- Ability to pull due date from ATO
Prefill - when we prefill a return from the ATO it brings in lots of information but doesn't update the due date for lodgement. The date currently appears to prefill from client details.
Can we please have Prefill bring in the ATO due date for the return?
4 votesHi Vicki, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see why this may be helpful for some users. Currently, you can import an 'Income tax lodgment status report' from ATO online services to bulk update the current tax returns due dates in the client details, but for now Xero does not pull this information from the ATO. We've moved this idea to gaining support and we'll monitor the idea for more support.

Clients - Add Clients to contacts from the Contacts screen
On the Contacts information page you should be able to associate the Contact with a Client and manage associated Clients from the Contacts information page also.
4 votesAppreciate there are different flows for when and how you might update this sort of information, Christopher. Thanks for sharing how we could improve this association for you.
We'll keep an eye on the interest of your idea here, and I'll let you know if there are any plans made to accommodate.
