Making Xero work harder for your business

We believe too many businesses treat Xero as a digital filing cabinet for receipts, checked only twice a year. Gravitate Accounting is a Xero-native, multi-award-winning digital practice. That means Xero and associated software are central to how we work.

Our team of digital accountants will configure and automate your Xero set-up and use the up-to-date data it generates to help you know your numbers now, not in retrospect.

That’s why many clients tell us they see us as an extension of their team, including SaaS founders, consultants, and companies turning over £40m+.

Whether you’re looking to switch from Sage or QuickBooks, setting up with cloud accounting for the first time, or just want a more proactive, modern accounting relationship, we’d love to speak to you about your business.

What does it mean to work with a Xero Platinum Partner?

Xero ranks accounting practices across four partner tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  

Platinum is the top public tier available and is awarded only to a small percentage of firms that manage the largest, most active Xero client bases.  

For your business, that means four things:

  1. You’ll be working with trained, senior people who know the platform and its add-ons inside out.
  2. We sit close to Xero's partner programme and tend to see new features early.
  3. You get a team that has built efficient, repeatable workflows around the software for many years.
  4. You get efficient onboarding, clean data, designed to take receipt-chasing off your plate.

Our Xero Accounting Services


Our Xero services cover businesses at any stage or level of complexity, whether you’re just starting out with cloud accounting or have a considerable Xero (or other software) presence already that you wish to enhance.

Moving to Cloud Accounting (Xero Setup)

If you’re moving from Sage, QuickBooks, or another platform, we migrate you onto Xero properly. We map your chart of accounts, preserve historical data, get the right integrations set up and, if required, train your team in using it.

Digital Bookkeeping

We keep your Xero files accurate, reconciled and current, rather than a month behind. We’ll get your bank feeds, AP/AR, expense apps and document capturing running smoothly to keep your numbers accessible and decision-ready whenever you need them.

We'll also recommend and configure the right Xero-connected apps for expenses, document capture, AP automation and more, so the whole stack works as one.

Management Accounts & Cash Flow Analysis

With Xero, we’ll provide you with monthly or quarterly management accounts and commentary that offers genuine insight. Reading a P&L isn’t the same as understanding it; we’ll show you how your margin is moving, where cash is tight and, most importantly, what you can do about it.  Where useful, we'll layer in connected reporting tools such as Fathom or Spotlight to give you sharper visibility.

VAT, Payroll & Making Tax Digital

We can also assist you with your Digital VAT returns, payroll and pensions, plus full MTD compliance. We'll always strive to submit on time and can deal with HMRC on your behalf when needed. We'll ensure everything is sitting cleanly inside Xero.

Year-End Accounts & Tax

We’ll help ensure your statutory accounts, corporation tax and self-assessment are filed accurately and on time so you can actually do something with the numbers. Year-end shouldn’t be about urgency and stress. It should be about opportunities.

Outsourced Finance Director

For founders who need senior finance brains without having to make a senior finance hire, our Outsourced FD service provides flexible, cost-effective expertise and strategy.

Proof, not promises

“With Gravitate's expertise, we grew our turnover from £4m to £29m, secured £2m in funding to fuel our growth, and achieved a remarkable 10x EBITDA exit. Their strategic guidance and hands-on approach were instrumental in achieving these results. We cannot recommend their services highly enough”

Xero Accounting FAQs

Do I need to be on Xero already to work with you?

No. Many clients come to us mid-switchover or while still on Sage, QuickBooks or another platform. Our Digital Switchover service moves you across cleanly, preserving historical data and properly training your team on the new setup.

We’re not in Sheffield. Does that matter?

Not at all. We’re based in Sheffield but work with clients across the UK. Xero and video calling mean your location does not matter. We have clients spread across the country.

What size businesses do you typically work with?

Most of our clients are start-ups, scale-ups and growing SMEs turning over anywhere from £250k to £45m+. If you're past the bookkeeping-on-spreadsheets stage and want an accountant who can grow with you, we'd love to hear from you.

How is your pricing structured?

For the majority of our work, you can expect fixed monthly fees, quoted up front as part of a free consultation. There will be no surprise invoices, no per-call charges, just a clear scope and a clear number. We can also review this regularly as your business and needs change. See our detailed pricing page for more information.

Are you Making Tax Digital compliant?

Yes. Gravitate has been running MTD for VAT since 2019, and we are supporting our clients to keep them compliant as MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment continues to roll out. Our relationship and experience with Xero make it an ideal setup for MTD.
