To build hands-on experience with Xero accounting software, I completed a practical bookkeeping exercise covering core financial workflows — from sales invoicing to bank reconciliation and financial reporting. This project demonstrated my ability to manage day-to-day bookkeeping tasks accurately within Xero.

Sales Invoice 

Created three sales invoices for different clients, entering customer details, invoice and due dates, service descriptions, quantities, and unit prices. Each invoice was reviewed and approved to reflect accurate billing information.

Bill Entry (Accounts Payable)

Recorded three bills from different suppliers, entering bill dates, due dates, expense items, and amounts. Approved each bill to ensure accounts payable were accurately tracked.

Bank Reconciliation

Reconciled bank transactions by matching pre-loaded bank feed items to existing invoices and bills. For unmatched transactions, created and categorized entries (such as Advertising and Office Expenses) to keep the bank account accurate and up to date.

Profit and Loss Reporting

A Profit and Loss (P&L) Report was generated for the reporting period to summarize the company's income, expenses, and overall financial performance.
