Our Approach
Initial Assessment and Discovery
VNC reviewed the existing Xero, Shopify, and A2X setup; assessed transaction flows and reconciliation processes; completed the FY 2025-26 Xero clean-up and optimisation; and submitted the financial statements to the client. In parallel, we are reviewing Unleashed to support its future integration with Xero.
Services Offered
We thoroughly reviewed Xero, Unleashed, and Shopify to understand the systems and bookkeeping processes. We then corrected back-end journals and adjustments, completed the bookkeeping and Xero clean-up, and prepared the financial reports for FY 2025-26.
