Garage Desk + Xero
If you run your garage’s books in Xero, Garage Desk keeps the two in step automatically. Raise an invoice on the job in Garage Desk and it lands in Xero as a proper accounts-receivable invoice against the right customer — so your accountant sees the same numbers you do, in real time.
No more re-typing invoices in the evening, no CSV exports, no month-end reconciliation marathon. You invoice once, in the bay, and the accounting takes care of itself.
Why connect it
What Xero gives your garage
Invoices sync automatically
Every invoice you create in Garage Desk is pushed to Xero against the matching customer, with parts, labour and tax lines intact.
Payments stay in step
Mark an invoice paid in Garage Desk and the payment is recorded in Xero too, so your outstanding balances are always right.
No double entry
The workshop and the books share one source of truth. You stop re-keying the same invoice twice and the errors that come with it.
Your accountant will thank you
Because the data is already in Xero, month-end and VAT returns are just there — no shoebox of paper invoices to hand over.

Common questions
Yes — you connect your own existing Xero organisation. Garage Desk pushes invoices and payments into it; it doesn't replace your Xero subscription.
