Challenge
Xero's standard reports could not satisfy the analytics platform's customers, who needed tailored KPIs, cross-client consolidation, and visual dashboards that combined accounting data with other business metrics.
Solution
- Built a Xero data connector using the Xero API to extract general ledger, invoices, contacts, and tracking categories
- Transformed and modeled Xero data into a warehouse-ready schema for analytics workloads
- Created customizable dashboard templates for P&L, cash flow, aged receivables, and budget vs. actuals
- Scheduled automated refreshes with incremental sync and row-level security per client
