How to Connect Xero to ExpenseMonkey

Automatically import and categorize expenses, extract VAT, and send receipts straight to Xero — no more manual entry or missing data.

Connecting your Xero account to ExpenseMonkey lets you automatically sync expenses, receipts, and accounting categories — saving hours of manual entry each month.

Follow the steps below to set up the integration.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations

  1. Log in to your ExpenseMonkey account.
  2. Click on your profile icon (top-right corner).
  3. Select Settings, then open the Integrations tab.
  4. You’ll see the Xero integration option listed there.

2. Start the Connection

  1. Click Connect to Xero.
  2. A window will appear asking you to log in to your Xero account (if you’re not already signed in).
  3. Choose the Xero organization you want to connect.
  4. Confirm access by clicking Allow Access.

3. Wait for the Sync to Complete

Once you grant access, ExpenseMonkey will begin syncing data from Xero automatically.
This includes:

That’s it!

Your Xero integration is now set up and syncing.
You can now:
