Can Xero be connected to placement workflows in ATZ CRM?
Yes. Our team can configure a connection so placement and client billing details move toward Xero when your agency-defined milestone is reached.
ATZ CRM + Xero
Connect Xero with ATZ CRM so recruitment billing, placement fees, client references, and invoice-ready details move from the desk into accounting with less manual chasing.
Accounting integration
Agency finance workflows connected to placements
Xero helps teams manage accounting, invoicing, and finance reporting. ATZ CRM can connect with Xero through open APIs or Zapier so recruiters and finance teams work from aligned placement and client information.
What problem it solves
Make accounting handoff easier when placements convert into revenue.
1
Finance users can miss billing moments when placement readiness is tracked only by recruiters.
2
Invoice preparation slows down when client references and fee notes are scattered across records.
3
Agency owners struggle to compare delivered placements with invoices waiting in accounting.
4
Recruiters lose focus when they must repeatedly explain the same billing context after a start date.
Setup guide
Our integration team aligns Xero with the way your agency recognizes placement revenue.
- 1
Select the recruitment milestones that should notify finance, such as signed agreement, accepted offer, or start confirmation.
- 2
Identify which client, candidate, job, purchase-order, and fee fields need to move into the accounting handoff.
- 3
Choose whether Xero should receive a draft invoice, a contact update, or an internal finance task from each workflow.
- 4
Validate the process with examples that include retained fees, contingency placements, and multi-currency clients if required.
Use cases for recruiters
Billing operations that stay close to recruiter activity.
Placement fee handoff
Move approved placement details toward finance when a candidate reaches the billing milestone.
Client account matching
Keep finance from creating duplicate accounting contacts by using cleaner CRM client references.
Manager revenue review
Show which placements are awaiting finance action and which have already moved into accounting.
Retained search billing

Benefits for recruiting teams
- • Reduce the gap between confirmed placement and finance action.
- • Give accounting teams more complete client and job context before invoice preparation.
- • Support cleaner revenue tracking for agency leaders reviewing delivery output.
- • Avoid duplicate effort between recruiters, account managers, and finance users.
How the data flows
- • ATZ CRM records the placement, account, job, and agreed billing context.
- • A configured milestone prepares the details that finance needs for Xero.
- • Xero receives the selected invoice or contact information through the agreed connection path.
- • Recruiters can see the handoff state without leaving the recruitment workspace.
Handled by the ATZ CRM integration team
Our team handles the API or Zapier configuration so your recruiters do not need to become accounting-system administrators.
Milestone design
We help identify exactly when placement data should reach the finance process.
Exception planning
We define what happens when client references, tax details, or fee fields need human review.
Best practices
Xero workflows are most reliable when finance rules are visible before billing starts.
- • Use clear placement statuses so finance does not receive records before client terms are confirmed.
- • Keep purchase-order and billing-contact fields separate from general account notes.
- • Review failed handoffs with both finance and recruitment operations because the issue is often field quality, not the integration itself.
