Xero will ask you to grant access to all your business assets on your Buildern account. By clicking the allow button, the accounting software can view all your client invoices, bills, and other payment-related stuff.

This allows the accounting software to view your financial information comprehensively. This integration enables efficient management of cash flow, expense tracking, and financial reporting, ultimately helping builders make informed business decisions and maintain strong financial control.
