Xero to iplicit
Xero was perfect for getting your business off the ground with straightforward cloud accounting. But as you've scaled, added complexity, or expanded internationally, you've likely hit the ceiling of what it can handle.
iplicit is purpose-built for businesses in your position, offering enterprise-grade capabilities without abandoning the cloud-based accessibility you've come to expect. Your business has outgrown Xero's capabilities. It's time for a finance platform built for your next stage of growth.
Why migrate from Xero to iplicit?
Built to handle complexity
Xero works well for straightforward accounting, but struggles when your business adds layers of complexity. If you're managing multiple entities, running intercompany transactions, or dealing with complex project costing, you'll find yourself wrestling with Xero's limitations or maintaining spreadsheets alongside your accounting system.
iplicit is designed for operational complexity, with native multi-entity consolidation, automated intercompany eliminations, and sophisticated project accounting built into the core platform.
Scale across borders without the workarounds
While Xero offers basic multi-currency functionality, it falls short for businesses with genuine international operations.
iplicit provides robust multi-currency management, handles multiple tax jurisdictions seamlessly, and supports consolidation across different countries and regulatory requirements. You won't need separate instances or complex workarounds to manage your global finance operations.
Automate beyond the basics
Xero automates bank reconciliation well, but leaves most other finance processes manual. iplicit takes automation further with automated invoice processing, configurable approval workflows that route transactions intelligently, and automated consolidation that eliminates hours of manual journal entries.
Your finance team can focus on analysis and strategy rather than repetitive data entry and reconciliation tasks.
Enterprise reporting without the exports
If you're constantly exporting data from Xero into Excel to create meaningful reports, you're working harder than necessary.
iplicit provides sophisticated built-in reporting and customisable dashboards that give you real-time visibility across entities, projects, and departments.
Drill down from summary to transaction detail without leaving the system, and give stakeholders self-service access to the metrics they need without finance team bottlenecks.
Support growth without user license anxiety
Xero's per-user pricing model often creates awkward conversations about who really needs access.
iplicit includes unlimited users as standard, allowing you to give appropriate access to project managers, department heads, and operational staff without worrying about mounting license costs.
Collaborate freely with permission controls that keep data secure while enabling transparency.
Integrate with true flexibility
While Xero has a good app marketplace, you're often limited to pre-built connectors that may or may not fit your specific needs. iplicit's open API architecture gives you complete flexibility to integrate with any system in your tech stack, whether that's your CRM, e-commerce platform, business intelligence tools, or bespoke applications.
Build the connected finance ecosystem your business needs rather than adapting your processes to available integrations.

"Managing deferred income was one of my biggest challenges with Xero. The manual data work took at least two to three days every month.
With iplicit, the process is fully automated, so what used to take three days now takes zero."
Mahreen Jamil
Chief Finance Officer

Imray
"I looked at Xero, but our needs were too complex for it and we needed more powerful reporting, as well as stock capabilities.
With iplicit, it's easy to produce detailed reports broken down by department or cost centre, thanks to the unlimited number of accounting dimensions."
Emma Woodfield
Associate Director

Mestag Therapeutics
Following phenomenal growth, Mestag quickly outgrew Xero, and required more sophisticated functionality that could support their acceleration as an organisation.
“The team has not only increased efficiency and saved hours in the working week, but there’s also no longer a need for additional consultancy costs. We’re delighted we made the switch to iplicit.”
Eilidh Goodwin
Director of Finance

Brookes Union
"We looked at Xero because it's another true-cloud system and obviously very cost effective.
We felt that it would have been painful and expensive to handle the migration issues, as well as the fact that our operation requires a level of complexity and reporting that was beyond the capabilities of Xero."
Helen Bristow
Head of Finance & Resources

“We started our due diligence on cloud-based but lower-spec software like Xero and QuickBooks.
Then I reached out to some of the bigger providers, like Oracle, and realised they were well beyond our price point."
Mark Pallett
Finance Manager


"I reviewed Xero, Sage and QuickBooks and MS Dynamics. None of the others were as flexible as we required and we were looking for a system that could shape around our needs, not require us to change our working practice to fit within its constraints."
