What XBert does well
XBert is a capable, established option. Here's where it genuinely earns its place — we'd rather you choose the right tool than the loudest one.
- Continuous, automated data-health monitoring across Xero
- A large library of AI audit-risk alerts
- Practice-wide dashboards for bookkeepers
- Catches new issues as they arise, not just at year-end
Why teams look at Extrua Reconcile instead
Deep retrospective cleanup
XBert flags issues; Reconcile fixes the historical mess — years of drift, clearing-account graveyards, phantom income — and reconciles to the cent.
Done-for-you
You don't work through a list of alerts yourself. We run the cleanup on a copy and hand back an evidenced change-list to apply.
Read-only by design
Your live Xero file is never touched. The whole job runs on a copy until you sign off.
Evidence per change
Every correction carries the bank line behind it, so you or your accountant can verify each one.
Start free
The free Books Diagnostic reads a copy of your file and tells you what's actually wrong — before you pay anything.
When XBert is the better choice
XBert is the better choice for ongoing, day-to-day data-health monitoring across a practice's clients — it's built to catch issues continuously. Reconcile is for the deep, historical cleanup of a file that's already badly drifted. The two pair naturally: a deep cleanup to fix the past, then a monitoring tool to keep it clean.
