Your existing tools get the data into Xero.
Spread is what happens next.
Every tool stops at Xero. Spread starts there.
One Solution.
Three Month-End Problems. Solved.
Revenue Recognition
An annual subscription invoiced upfront.
Spread reads the attachment and spreads the income across 12 months automatically. No manual journals, no spreadsheets. Your revenue always lands in the correct month.
Accruals & Prepayments
A quarterly rent invoice arrives.
Spread reads the date range from the attachment and allocates the cost across the correct months before you've even looked at it. No more manual calculations or missed adjustments.
Intelligent Month-End Accruals
A recurring utility bill hasn't arrived.
Spread recognises the pattern, posts the monthly accrual, and reverses it automatically when the invoice arrives.
What Spread Does While You're Not Looking
No spreadsheets. No manual journals. Just Xero, working the way it should.

Step 1: We Read Everything in Xero
What normally happens:
You’re trawling through Xero, invoices, bills, and attachments manually.
​
With Spread:
We automatically read the descriptions, scan your sales, costs, and all linked attachments in Xero. Nothing gets missed.
​
✅ Saves 1–2 hours of prep per client per month
✅ Brings consistency with rules-based automation
Step 2: We Flag What's In The Wrong Month
What normally happens:
You’re eyeballing the P&L to spot what’s landed in the wrong month.
With Spread:
We flag transactions where income or costs don’t match the service period and automatically create the journals.
​​​
✅ Free yourself from repetitive tasks
✅ Costs and sales in the correct months for accurate reporting of profits.

Step 3: We Auto-Generate the Journals
What normally happens:
You’re building accrual and prepayment schedules in Excel, then keying them into Xero.
With Spread:
We calculate and post the correct journals, accruals, prepayments, and revenue deferrals straight into Xero.
​
✅ No spreadsheet, reduced errors
✅ Journals are consistent, accurate, and audit-trail ready
Step 4: You Review and Approve
Want to stay in control? You can preview, edit, or approve any journal before it hits your Xero ledger.
​
Our balance sheet reconciliation report offers another control layer.
​
✅ Choose your level of automation and review
✅ Makes review cycles faster and more focused
The Journals Are Ready Before You've Even Started Month-End.
You Just Approve Them.
Most accountants are still doing this in Excel. That's a spreadsheet that's wrong half the time, lives outside Xero, and only one person knows how to use.
Who's it for?
Spread is built for finance professionals who need their numbers to be right, and need to be able to prove it.
1 / Accountancy Practices
Every client, every month, the same adjustments. Done differently by whoever's doing the work that day.
Spread brings consistency to how accruals, prepayments and deferred revenue are handled across your entire portfolio. The same rules, applied the same way, every time. No individual discretion. No knowledge that walks out the door.
​
Your senior accountants stop doing the work. Your whole team closes faster. And you take on more clients without adding headcount.
2 / Finance Teams Using Xero
Your invoices land in Xero on the invoice date. Not the service period date. Which means every month, some of your costs are in the wrong period, and fixing it manually at that volume isn't possible.
​
Spread reads every invoice and attachment in Xero, detects the timing difference, and posts the correct journals automatically. Every adjustment is traceable. Every balance sheet code is reconcilable. And when someone asks what's in your prepayments balance, you'll have the answer.
​
Close with confidence, not crossed fingers.
3 / Fractional CFOs and Finance Directors
You can't advise on numbers you don't trust. So you wait for adjustments, for corrections, for someone to confirm everything is right.
By the time you get there, the moment has passed.
​
Spread automates the adjustment layer continuously throughout the month so the numbers are ready when you need them, not a week after you needed them.
Earlier visibility. Faster reporting. Conversations that land when they still matter.​
4 / Self Employed Bookkeepers
The work that eats your time isn't the work your clients pay you for.
​
Spread automates accruals, prepayments and deferred revenue journals directly in Xero, so the repetitive month-end grind happens automatically and you're left reviewing, not creating.
Take on more clients. Work fewer hours. Keep the margin.​
