New Client Onboarding Checklist – Data Requirements

New Client Onboarding Checklist – Data Requirements

Welcome to Caseron! We have created this simple printable checklist to help you collate the data we need to get your Xero account set up.

To be printed and actioned at your convenience.

Section 1 : Documents, files and records to be saved to Dropbox please.

Already on Xero?

If you are already on Xero, part of our initial due diligence once you become our client, will include the review and reconciliation where appropriate and necessary for each of items listed below.

Moving to Xero?

We will need data extracts from your existing system usually in Excel format. We need these to rebuild the year to date transaction history and complete year to date reconciliation’s.

We can provide an Excel template for this if required or we can move your books from Sage or Quickbooks.

Note: Each business is different and may hold different accounting records. New start ups may not have many or any of these in place however, we have left them here as a prompt just in case you have any records of this nature that need to be brought into your year to date figures or verified in existing year to date figures .
