At Bright, we take pride in developing innovative solutions that simplify the administrative demands of running an accountancy firm.
With this in mind, we’re thrilled to partner with Xero to offer our users a seamless two-way sync integration between our practice management software, BrightManager, and Xero — enhancing efficiency and accuracy like never before.
With the integration enabled, any updates you make to Client data will be reflected in the other respective software. In addition to this, invoices raised in BrightManager will create a draft invoice in Xero. Invoices created in Xero will create an invoice in BrightManager. If marked as paid in either software, this will be updated in both places.
Connecting Xero and BrightManager ensures that your practice runs seamlessly, to read more on why integrations are key to running an efficient practice, then click here to see our new blog on the importance of software integrations
