Key Responsibilities

Contact Data Migration

• Extract contact lists from the source platform (e.g., CRM, spreadsheet, or legacy system) with a focus on completeness and accuracy.
• Map each contact field to the appropriate Xero format, ensuring that names, email addresses, phone numbers, and billing details are correctly aligned.
• Perform a thorough quality‑check after import, verifying that no duplicate or orphan records exist within Xero.
• Document the migration process, noting any anomalies or data gaps for future reference.

Payment Reconciliation & Tax Rate Correction

• Identify payments in Xero that have been incorrectly reconciled or assigned the wrong tax rate.
• Unreconcile these payments, remove any erroneous tax entries, and re‑reconcile them using the correct tax codes (e.g., GST, VAT, sales tax).
• Maintain a detailed audit trail of each change, including timestamps, original values, and the rationale for adjustments.
• Collaborate with the senior bookkeeping team to confirm that tax calculations align with local regulatory requirements.

Removal and Re‑Reconciliation of Payments

• Systematically delete selected payment entries that were entered in error, ensuring no residual data remains that could affect reporting.
• Re‑enter the payments with accurate amounts, dates, and tax rates, then reconcile them against the appropriate invoices or bills.
• Validate that the updated entries balance perfectly within the Xero ledger, eliminating any discrepancies.
• Provide a concise summary report of all removed and re‑reconciled transactions for management review.

Timeliness & Efficiency

• Complete the entire scope of work—contact migration, payment adjustments, and reconciliation—within an estimated six‑hour window.
