Xero Bookkeeping Health Check: Fix Your Bookkeeping Issues

📚 How to Do a Bookkeeping Health Check in Xero | Akif CPA

I'm Mohammad Akif from Akif CPA, and I'm partnering with Xero to walk you through a full bookkeeping cleanup process step by step. If your books are showing errors, unreconciled, or not giving you accurate financial data, this guide will help you understand what to review and how to fix it.

There are 5 Key things we look at when we get the "How do I fix my books" question.

1️⃣ : Financial Reports (Profit & Loss & Balance Sheet) for red flags
2️⃣ : Chart of Accounts (looking for setup errors)
3️⃣ : Checking bank and credit card reconciliations (to ensure reconciliation is happening and its accuracy)
4️⃣ : Bank Rules (reviewing them and any changes—misuse is often the source of hidden problems)
5️⃣ : Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable (for open invoices, mismatches, and cleanup, depending on how you use Xero)

Most of the time there's a misunderstanding of how to set up accounting software or how the different inputs interact. But, don't sweat it! All accounting software has a learning curve, and even experienced bookkeepers sometimes end up with errors.

99% of the time, it's an issue with...

✖️ Data entered into the wrong place
✖️ Not understanding how data feeds into each report
✖️ Altering or not checking automations
✖️ Basic accounting (not knowing you need to reconcile)

But, don't sweat it! For any software out there, there's always a learning curve, and if you're a DIY bookkeeper, you may just not know some key accounting principles. I'm here to help you make it easy.

I'm going to tell you what to check to make sure you're using Xero the right way (and to its full capabilities).

💡 By the end, you’ll know how to spot problem areas and take corrective action so your bookkeeping is accurate, timely, and tax-ready. Plus, you'll be set up for better bookkeeping in the future.
