Connect Zero, ConnectWise + Xero
Connect Zero: Continuous Financial Data Sync for ConnectWise and Xero
Continuous sync of invoices, procurements, payments and payroll timesheets between ConnectWise Manage and Xero. Built by an Adelaide MSP who lives in both products.
The gap most MSPs live with
If you run ConnectWise and Xero, you know this picture.
Tickets and agreements live in ConnectWise. Invoices, payments and payroll live in Xero. Somewhere in the middle, somebody on your team is exporting CSVs, retyping invoices, chasing payment statuses, and reconciling timesheets every pay period.
That somebody costs you a salary. Connect Zero replaces them with a scheduled sync that runs in the background and tells you when something needs your attention.
Continuous, scheduled, bidirectional. Default every six hours per job family, configurable down to the cron string. Force-sync any time from the dashboard. Detailed logs say exactly what moved and when.
What Connect Zero keeps in sync.
Four pillars, pulled directly from the Laravel codebase. Every entity below is a real scheduled job, not a marketing claim.
Invoices
Pending invoices created in ConnectWise are batched and posted to Xero. Invoice status writes back when payment lands in Xero. The same invoice never appears twice.
Direction: CW to Xero, status back. Default: every 6 hours.
Procurements and payments
ConnectWise procurement records become Xero bills. Payments applied in Xero close out the matching ConnectWise invoice. Multi-currency handled.
Direction: Bidirectional. Default: every 6 hours.
Payroll timesheets
Approved ConnectWise time entries roll into Xero payroll timesheets per pay period, per staff member. Leave applications, earning rates and Australian public holidays are all aware.
Direction: CW to Xero. Default: daily.
Settings and reference data
Account types, tax rates, tracking categories, work types, charge codes, currencies, invoice statuses, pulled from Xero and mirrored into ConnectWise mapping screens.
Direction: Xero to CW. Default: daily.
Built by an MSP who lives in this stack
An Adelaide MSP that runs ConnectWise itself.
Auswide IT is a managed services partner in South Australia. We run ConnectWise Manage day-to-day for our own customers, and we use Xero for our own books. We built Connect Zero because our finance team wanted the same continuous sync that we now sell to other MSPs.
What that means for you. We recognise real-world ConnectWise edge cases, mid-week timesheet edits, agreement billing variants, late invoice posts, restored backups, because we deal with them ourselves. When your sync behaves oddly, you talk to people who have already seen the pattern.
- Australia/Adelaide timezone hard-pinned across the platform
- South Australian public holiday calendar pre-seeded through 2027
- Billed in AUD via Stripe Cashier, no FX overhead
- Phone (08) 7008 7870 during Adelaide business hours
What you will feel in your first month.
No more CSV exports between billing runs
Invoices, procurements and payments stay aligned without anyone copying data between systems.
Payroll runs from a single source of truth
ConnectWise time entries land in Xero timesheets per pay period. Leave applications and earning rates sync automatically.
Errors surface in the inbox, not in audits
Hourly error reports and a daily summary email keep your finance team in front of anything that needs attention.
Managed-account customers get their own Xero org
Per-location Xero mapping lets one Connect Zero tenant talk to many Xero organisations. Useful for MSPs managing books on behalf of customers.
