Overview
Xero will collect banking data for your clients on a daily basis. This data can then be automatically imported into SF360 and matched against contribution, broker and dividend data to provide you with an updated SMSF portfolio.
Simple Fund 360 will be able to upload the amounts and transaction descriptions from Xero.
Note: The description that uploaded from Xero to Simple Fund 360 is the name that users manually allocate to the transaction in Xero and not the bank statement description.
