Scott’s Add-in for Excel and Xero changes the game.  Now, Xero advisors have access to a powerful and efficient tool that enables them to create financial art that truly differentiates their service offerings. 

Why offer Bespoke Financial Reporting and analysis to your clients:

1. It is a huge differentiator for your practice as a Xero advisor.

2. It can be very profitable.

3. It’s fun and satisfying.

Here is how to get started:

Step 1:  Build a reusable Excel template using Scott’s Add-in for Xero. Or start by downloading one of our starter templates from scottsaddins.com/templates.  Start with a P&L or go all in with a 3 Statement Model or dashboard.  Use Scott’s powerful new Excel functions such as =SCOTT.GL, which pulls in the balance for a specific GL account for any time period you wish. 

Example =SCOTT.GL(Xero Org, Account, Beginning Date, Ending Date)

Add more power with other SCOTT functions such as =RANGE, =XBUDGET, and =XTRACK to capture Xero tracking category balances. (See Fig. 1) 

Step 2: Tailor your template for individual clients.  Infuse your Excel model with financial KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), graphs, and analysis, that will give your clients a financial edge in understanding their business.

Step 3: Share the Excel model with your client, providing a valuable interpretation of the results. Refresh the model weekly or monthly, with one-click from Scott’s Add-in, updating with current Xero data.  (See Fig. 2) 

Step 4:  Build a high margin, recurring revenue model.  Consider charging a flat fee for this periodic service of providing the current, bespoke financials, plus your narrative of the results and trend.
