In this guide, we\u2019ll explain what Syft Analytics is (and how it became part of Xero), highlight the benefits for your small business, and walk you through how to use this new tool step by step. We\u2019ll also preview upcoming features like performance dashboards so you know what\u2019s on the horizon. All in plain English, no heavy finance jargon!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What is Analytics powered by Syft?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Analytics powered by Syft is Xero\u2019s latest feature that brings advanced financial reporting and visualization right inside your Xero accounting software. It\u2019s essentially an integration of Syft Analytics \u2013 a leading cloud-based financial reporting and insights platform \u2013 directly into Xero. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/xero-acquires-syft-analytics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Xero acquired Syft in September 2024 <\/a>, which is why these capabilities are now built into the Xero interface. The goal of this integration is to make it easier for small businesses (like yours) to understand their numbers without needing separate apps or complicated spreadsheets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key capabilities of Analytics (Syft) in Xero:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Interactive charts and graphs<\/strong> of your financial data (income, expenses, cash flow, etc.), automatically generated from your Xero data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Customizable views<\/strong> \u2013 you can choose different metrics, time periods, and chart types to focus on what matters most for your business.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Collaboration and sharing tools<\/strong> \u2013 export or share these visuals with your team or advisors in a few clicks (e.g. via PDF, Slack, email).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>All inside Xero<\/strong> \u2013 no extra logins or data syncing; it uses your existing Xero records in real-time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Analytics powered by Syft takes the raw financial data already in your Xero account and transforms it into digestible, visual insights. If you\u2019ve ever wished your Profit &amp; Loss report could be a colorful chart or wanted to quickly spot trends in your cash flow, this integration is built for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why This Integration Matters for Your Business<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing Analytics powered by Syft can offer substantial advantages to small businesses, transforming the way they manage and interpret their financial data. This innovative tool is designed to streamline financial analysis, making it more accessible and insightful for business owners.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why it deserves your focus and how it can significantly impact your business operations:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>See the Big Picture at a Glance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Instead of poring over spreadsheets or basic reports, you\u2019ll get visual dashboards of key financial areas \u2013 Profit &amp; Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and important <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">KPIs<\/span> (Key Performance Indicators like <a href=\"https:\/\/help.accountingprose.com\/gross-profit-margin\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">profit margins<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/help.accountingprose.com\/current-ratio\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">liquidity<\/a> ratios). This makes it easier to understand how your business is performing at a glance. For example, you can instantly see if your revenues are trending upward, if expenses spiked in a month, or how your cash balance fluctuates over time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Make Better-Informed Decisions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Clear visuals help you spot trends and patterns that might be missed in rows of numbers. Is your profit margin shrinking month over month? Which expenses are growing fastest? Analytics highlights these insights so you can act on them. Xero\u2019s early users of Syft Analytics found that these visualizations<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">enable better-informed business decisions and save time <\/span>in analysis.\u00a0In other words, you can identify problems or opportunities faster, and confidently base your decisions on up-to-date data.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Customizable Charts Tailored to Your Needs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every business is different. The Analytics tool lets you choose what to display and how. You can switch between chart types (line graphs, bar charts, pie\/donut charts, etc.) to find the best way to visualize a particular metric. You can also adjust the time frame (e.g. view monthly trends or quarterly totals) and even filter by categ<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">ories you use in Xero (for instance, view sales <em>by location<\/em> or <em>by product line<\/em> if you use tracking categories). This flexibility means the insights are relevant to your specific business questions \u2013 you\u2019re not stuck with one-size-fits-all charts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Visualize Financial Health Across Profit, Cash, and More:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The integration isn\u2019t limited to just one report \u2013 it covers multiple facets of your finances:<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Profit &amp; Loss (Income Statement)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0See your income and expenses over time, and visualize your profitability.

Instead of sending over raw financial statements, you can share intuitive graphs. Both you and your advisor can literal<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">ly be on the same page (or screen) look<\/span>ing at the same charts. Xero notes that deeper insights via Syft Analytics help advisors and business owners have more meaningful, focused conversations about the numbers. It\u2019s much easier to discuss strategy when you\u2019re both looking at a chart of, say, monthly revenue, and identifying where it dipped.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Save Time on Reporting and Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Small business owners are busy. This integration automates a lot of the data crunching and chart preparation that you might otherwise do manually. Your Xero data is automatically refreshed into the Analytics tool (it updates at least every 24 hours, or on-demand when you hit refresh), so you always have current info. Need to review last quarter\u2019s performance? It\u2019s already graphed for you in a click, rather than you downloading CSVs and building charts in Excel. By reducing manual work, you can spend that time actually <em>reviewing<\/em> the insights and planning actions, rather than preparing the visuals.<\/p>\n<p>Analytics powered by Syft brings clarity, efficiency, and insight. It turns your Xero data into an easy-to-understand story of your business finances, which is invaluable for making smart decisions and guiding your business growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How to Access and Use Analytics (Syft) Inside Xero<\/h2>\n<p>Ready to give it a try?

This is normal \u2013 it gives you a chance to play with the features immediately. You can toggle between the demo data and your actual data once it\u2019s loaded (there\u2019s a \u201cShow demo data\u201d switch to do so ). After a short wait, you\u2019ll see your own company\u2019s numbers in chart form.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Explore the Financial Visualizations.<\/h3>\n<p>Once inside, you\u2019ll be greeted with a visual dashboard. By default, it may open on one of the views (for instance, a Profit and Loss accounts graph or a Cash graph). The interface will allow you to navigate between different types of financial charts. Look for tabs or a menu for sections like Profit &amp; Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash, and KPIs \u2013 each of these leads to graphs for that area of your finances. For example, clicking \u201cCash\u201d will show charts related to cash in\/out and cash balances, whereas \u201cKPI\u201d might show key ratios.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s say you want to review your <strong>Profit &amp; Loss<\/strong> trends.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">In the Analytics view<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You can choose the metric or accounts to display. For instance, you might plot <strong>Total Revenue vs. Total Expenses<\/strong> to see your profit trend over time. Or you could focus on a specific account category (like just your Sales income). There will be selectors or checkboxes to pick which accounts or totals to include in the graph.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h5>Choose a Time F<strong>requency<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>At the top, you can typically switch between viewing data monthly, quarterly, or yearly, etc. If you want to see seasonality, monthly might be best; for a long-term view, yearly could help.

For example, imagine your expenses jumped in February \u2013 <strong>why did that happen?<\/strong> This is where the <strong>Magnify<\/strong> feature comes in. It lets you hover over any chart data point to reveal detailed context, like the transactions behind the number.<\/p>\n<p>Move your mouse cursor (or tap, if on a tablet) over a point on a graph \u2013 for instance, a bar representing February\u2019s expenses, or a point on the revenue line for a certain month. A tooltip or side panel will pop up, showing breakdown information for that period. Typically, you\u2019ll see tabs or labels such as <strong>Trend<\/strong>, <strong>Top transactions<\/strong>, and <strong>Contacts.<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Trend<\/strong> might show the value for that period and how it compares to the prior period (e.g., \u201cFeb 2025: $50k, up 10% from last month\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Top Transactions<\/strong> will list the largest transactions contributing to that data point. For expenses, it might list the top 5 or 10 expense transactions in that month and their amounts. This quickly tells you what the big factors were.

It\u2019s like a microscope for your data. So if you notice a spike or dip, just hover to get the story behind it \u2013 no need to run a separate report or sift through the ledger. This feature turns a static graph into a dynamic analysis tool, helping you answer follow-up questions in seconds. It\u2019s especially useful during meetings or advisory calls: if someone asks \u201cWhat\u2019s driving this number?\u201d, you can hover and answer immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 5: Export and Share Your Insights.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After exploring your visuals, you\u2019ll likely want to share these insights \u2013 whether it\u2019s with your business partner, your accountant, or your management team. Analytics powered by Syft makes sharing straightforward by offering one-click export and direct sharing to popular apps:<\/p>\n<p>Look for an <strong>\u201cExport\u201d<\/strong> button in the Analytics interface (often at the top right of the chart area). Clicking this will present options to export or share your current view. You can usually choose from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Download as PDF<\/strong> \u2013 This generates a PDF report of the chart or dashboard you\u2019re viewing (with your logo included if you added one). PDFs are great for emailing or printing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Download as Excel (XLS)<\/strong> \u2013 If you want the underlying data or to further manipulate it, you can export the figures to Excel. This gives you a spreadsheet of the data points behind the chart.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong> \u2013 Send the chart image or report directly via email to someone, right from Xero.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Share to WhatsApp, Slack, or Microsoft Teams<\/strong> \u2013 Yes, you can send your financial charts in a chat! If your team collaborates on Slack or you often message your business partner on WhatsApp, you\u2019ll love this. Selecting one of these will prompt you to connect the service (if not already) and then share the chart image through that platform . For example, clicking Slack will let you choose a channel or contact to post the chart to, without needing to download it first.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=500&amp;height=465&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"465\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Export Xero Syft Reports | Accounting Prose\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 500px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=250&amp;height=233&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 250w, https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=500&amp;height=465&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 500w, https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=750&amp;height=698&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 750w, https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=1000&amp;height=930&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 1000w, https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=1250&amp;height=1163&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 1250w, https:\/\/blog.accountingprose.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png?width=1500&amp;height=1395&amp;name=Export%20Xero%20Syft%20Reports%20%7C%20Accounting%20Prose.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This \u201cExport to business tools\u201d functionality is extremely handy. Imagine you have a monthly check-in with an investor \u2013 you can quickly Slack them a profitability graph ahead of the call. Or, if you\u2019re the kind of owner who likes to keep your team informed, you might drop a sales trend chart into the company WhatsApp group. It saves the step of manually creating a report or screenshotting your screen. Plus, because these exports come straight from Xero, you know the data is accurate and up-to-date.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 6: Leverage Insights for Decision-Making and Conversations.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>This is more of an ongoing step!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how to navigate Analytics, make it a habit to use it in running your business. For instance, before your next strategy meeting, spend a few minutes in the Analytics tool reviewing the graphs \u2013 jot down any trends you notice. Bring those visuals or notes to the meeting so you can discuss based on real data.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an accountant or bookkeeper, consider giving them advisor access to your Xero if they don\u2019t have it already, so they too can see these Analytics graphs on their end. This will allow both of you to discuss the same charts during your advisory calls, making the conversation more productive and on-point.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, don\u2019t be afraid to customize and play around in the tool. Change chart types, try filters, and explore different KPIs. The more you interact with your data, the more comfortable you\u2019ll become and the more insights you\u2019ll gain. The beauty of Analytics powered by Syft is that it makes <em>financial review<\/em> an engaging, visual experience rather than a chore.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Tips: Getting the Most Value from Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>To really squeeze the most benefit out of Xero\u2019s Syft-powered Analytics, keep these practical tips in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Make it a regular habit:<\/strong> Set aside time perhaps monthly (or even weekly) to review your Analytics dashboard. Regular check-ins will help you spot trends early. It\u2019s much easier to course-correct mid-quarter than to be surprised at quarter-end. With these visuals, you might even find it <em>fun<\/em> to check in on the numbers!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Use visuals in meetings:<\/strong> Bring charts to your finance or team meetings. As mentioned, exporting a PDF of key graphs (like a sales trend or expense breakdown) and sharing it in advance can focus discussions and get everyone on the same page. People tend to grasp charts faster than tables of numbers, so you\u2019ll communicate information more effectively.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Compare against goals:<\/strong> If you have budgets or targets set up (say, a revenue target for the quarter), use the Analytics tool to compare actual performance against those goals. For example, if you targeted $1M in sales, and the line graph shows $900K with one month to go, that tells you how far you need to push. Some charts might even allow overlays or showing \u201cprevious year vs this year\u201d which can give context to your performance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Identify anomalies and investigate:<\/strong> When something looks off in a graph \u2013 a sudden drop, a big spike \u2013 use that Magnify hover feature to investigate <strong>right away<\/strong>. It could uncover issues like an unexpected expense or a delayed invoice payment. Catching these early means you can respond (e.g., follow up on that late payment or control an expense) before it becomes a bigger problem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Collaborate with your advisor:<\/strong> If you have an accountant, bookkeeper, or financial coach, invite them to review the Analytics with you. For instance, you might export a couple of graphs and email them over saying \u201cHey, here\u2019s how this quarter is looking \u2013 let\u2019s discuss in our next call.\u201d This gives your advisor concrete data to work with. Advisors love when clients use these tools because it elevates the conversation from \u201cWhere did the money go?\u201d to \u201cI see our margin is dipping, how can we improve it?\u201d \u2013 a much more strategic dialogue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By incorporating Analytics into your routine, you\u2019ll likely find you feel more <strong>in control and informed<\/strong> about your business\u2019s financial health. It turns what used to be end-of-month number crunching into a more continuous, intuitive process of understanding your business story.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next: New Features on the Horizon<\/h2>\n<p>Xero\u2019s integration of Syft is just getting started \u2013 and there are exciting enhancements on the way.

Rather than looking at one chart at a time, you\u2019ll b<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">e able to build a dashboard of multiple widgets\/graphs that matter to you. For example, you might have one dashboard that shows a net profit bar chart, a sales trend line, a pie chart of expense breakdown, and a cash balance graph all on a single screen. Xero has indicated that \u201ccustom dashboards are on the horizon\u201d and will allo<\/span>w you to tell the story of your organization\u2019s performance all in one place (with clear, understandable graphs). This will be fantastic for at-a-glance overviews and monitoring several KPIs at once.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cCash Manager\u201d Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to dashboards, Xero mentioned a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xero.com\/us\/product-updates\/syft-qa\/#:~:text=This%20is%20just%20the%20start,to%20more%20regions%20and%20plans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>cash manager<\/em><\/a> feature in the works . While we don\u2019t have all details yet, this could imply more advanced cash flow planning or insights. It might help you project future cash flow or manage cash in a more interactive way. Keep an eye out for more news on this \u2013 improved cash flow management is always a plus for small businesses.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Generative AI and Smart Insights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Xero is also working on leveraging AI within Analytics. They\u2019ve hinted at AI-generated suggestions and summaries coming to the platform. What could this look like? Potentially, the system might highlight unusual patterns for you (like \u201cThis expense is 30% higher than usual\u201d) or provide narrative explanations of your data (\u201cNet profit is up 15% this month mainly due to increased revenue\u201d). Having an AI \u201cassistant\u201d interpret the charts for you in plain language could further simplify decision-making for busy owners.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Expanded Access and Refinements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As of early 2025, Analytics powered by Syft was in an early release for certain Xero users (for example, some U.S. customers on certain plans). Xero\u2019s plan is t<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">o roll it out more broadly to additional regions and subscription plans over time. They have been gathering feedback from the initial users to refine the product. So, if you don\u2019t see the feature in your Xero yet \u2013 don\u2019t worry, it should be coming your way as it expands. And if you are using it, you can expect ongoing improvements (perhaps new chart types, faster performance, etc.) as Xero integrates Syft deeper into the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Overall, the future looks bright for Xero\u2019s analytics capabilities. The addition of customizable dashboards and AI-driven insights will further cement Xero not just as an accounting tool, but as a financial intelligence hub for your business.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>Anal<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">ytics powered by Syft is a game-changer for small businesses using Xero. This in-app integration gives you the ability to visualize your Profit &amp; Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and key metrics in just a few clicks, all within Xero. It brings your data to life with interactive charts that you can customize, drill into, and share easily. By using it, you\u2019ll likely find that you understand your business finances better than ever \u2013 trends and relationships in the numbers become clear, and you can make decisions with greater confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">For a business owner, tools like this can help you punch above your weight in financial management. You get insights and capabilities that large companies pay analytics teams to produce, but delivered in an accessible, easy to use package. And because Xero is continuing to invest in and build out these features (with dashboards and more AI on the way), the value will only grow over time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\">So go ahead and explore Analytics in your Xero account. Upload your logo, play with the charts, hover for details, and share a cool graph with your team \u2013 you might even impress them (or at least make your meetings more interesting!). By embracing these features, you\u2019re not just keeping books; you\u2019re turning your financial data into actionable intelligence for your business.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Happy analyzing, and here\u2019s to smarter decisions and better conversations powered by Xero and Syft!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665\" id=\"hs-cta-2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665\"><!--[if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/1622111\/2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665\" style=\"border-width:0px;margin: 0 auto; display: block; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/1622111\/2cdcae6c-bb25-469d-917d-71d48edc9665.png\" alt=\"Bookkeeping doesn't have to suck | Accountingprose\" align=\"middle\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.0\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xero has introduced a powerful new in-app feature called Analytics powered by Syft \u2013 a built-in analytics integration designed to turn your financial data into clear, visual insights.
