Hey team, thanks for sharing your needs in preparing workpapers on Cash basis. We're happy to provide an update that this is now in development as part of new Xero Workpapers. With new Workpapers you'll be able to select the accounting basis (cash or accrual) when setting up a workpaper pack, ensuring your calculations and reports align perfectly with your client's needs.
We've just started roll out to Australia, and will be following to other regions in 2026. We understand that you're eager for this feature, and we'll keep you updated on the progress, here.

yes most of these workpapers are irrelevant for other entity types, would be so much better if we could customise properly

Thanks to everyone who's shared feedback here. Over time, the conversation has broadened from the original request: the ability to create custom-designed workpapers, similar to Classic Workpapers, with tailored calculation rows, sections and mapped account codes.
This is something we're actively exploring and will share another update soon. We’ll use this idea to track that broader customisation capability.
Requests for specific worksheets are best tracked separately:
- Inter-entity loan workpapers
- Division 7A loans
- Motor vehicle private use and FBT
- Franking credits - add payment dates
- Investment income
- Profit appropriation/distribution
Tracking these separately helps us understand interest, needs and use cases. Please make sure to add your vote to these if of interest, or start a new idea for a new one.

this kind of flexibility is essential, not having home office workpapers renders workpapers pretty much unusable in my practice as i work with online businesses

Hi Jordan, thanks for sharing your idea here. We understand how updating client details in separate systems can add extra admin time.
A sync between Xero organisation details and Xero Partner Hub records could help keep information consistent and reduce manual update across your practice. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue monitoring interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

Hi everyone, we know that consolidated reporting for multiple Xero organisations is a feature many of you are invested in, and we appreciate you continuing to share your feedback and insights on this idea.
We hear that you need a more streamlined way to manage group budgeting, produce consolidated Profit and Loss reports, and handle intercompany transactions without the need for manual exports and external spreadsheets.
For those looking for solutions right now - As shared by others there are Xero app partners that possibly serve these and wider needs, and you can explore on our Xero App store.
We want to be transparent about the current state of this idea. While we continuously evaluate all ideas, work on developing consolidated reporting is not currently planned.
We know this isn't the news many of you hoped for, especially given how long this idea has been on the platform. We value…

For clients that are sole traders, the ABN or business address is not appearing on tax returns and has to be manually entered. We should be able to generate a tax return with a business schedule that has the business address and ABN already prefilled per the client's details in practice manager and their Xero file

This needs to become a feature! Such a simple thing that would make everyone's lives easier when it comes to tracking jobs & returns/amendments

literally 90% of my clients have home office adjustments to be made so removing this in the new version is a massive headache. if we can't do these adjustments in xero workpapers, there isnt much point in using them as we have to manually calculate anyways
