The Problem
Remittance Matching Is a Tax on the Whole Book
For a bookkeeping or accounting practice, remittance matching is not one client's problem, it is a tax on every client you run. Each client has its own Xero organisation, its own pile of remittance PDFs, and its own payers who drop prefixes, strip invoice numbers, and pay out of order. Your team switches tenancy, reads a remittance, searches for each invoice, allocates the payment, then starts again in the next client's org.
The cost is not just the hours. While remittances sit unmatched, your clients' aged receivables are wrong, their cash position is unclear, and the cleanup compounds at month-end across every client at once. Multiply that by a full client base and you have skilled staff doing repetitive keying instead of advisory work, or an offshore team grinding through it by hand.
The work gets harder exactly when a remittance covers many invoices, or arrives with overpayments, negative-value credit lines, or invoice data buried in an email body rather than an attachment. Do that per client, by hand, and the matching tax never stops growing.
The Solution
One Setup, Every Client Benefits
RemitClear turns a per-client manual chore into one automated workflow that lives inside Xero. Connect each client's organisation once, and let remittances match and post themselves back to the right client.
1. Connect Every Client to One Account
Link each client's Xero organisation to a single RemitClear account through Xero's secure OAuth. Switch between clients from one login, with each org keeping its own invoices, prefixes, and default bank account. There is no new platform for the practice to learn: RemitClear lives alongside Xero, not in place of it.
2. Capture and Read Any Remittance
Upload a remittance or forward it by email, including remittances pasted straight into an email body. AI-powered extraction reads the payer, payment date, total, and every invoice line, in PDFs, Word, Excel, CSV and TSV exports, and scanned documents. No templates, no per-payer setup, even when a payer strips or reformats their invoice numbers.
3. Auto-Match on Confidence, Review Only Exceptions
Each extracted invoice is matched against that client's open invoices, handling exact, partial, and prefix-based references, plus out-of-order payments, overpayments, and negative-value credit lines. Matches at the 100% confidence threshold can post automatically, so your team reviews only the exceptions rather than every remittance.
4. Post Back to the Right Client, With Audit Trail
Approved payments post into the correct client's Xero as batch or separate payments, with the original remittance attached to each invoice for audit. Routing to the right client is handled for you, so a payment never lands in the wrong org and every posting carries its own source document.
Proof
Built to Hold Up Across a Client Base
Practices care about two things: that the extraction is accurate, and that every posting leaves a clean audit trail. RemitClear is designed around both.

"RemitClear has bridged what was previously a manually processed gap in our AR workflow. The OCR is quick and accurate (more so than you could expect from any person), and having source documents pushed through to Xero creates a verifiable audit trail for all receipts."
Accuracy holds up on the messy formats practices actually receive. When we tested RemitClear against a UK practice's grocery clients, NISA and ASDA remittances matched in full, and Sainsbury's matched at 96% on the samples we tested, across formats that strip invoice numbers, mix in promotional deductions, and run to hundreds of lines. Where a single remittance exceeds Xero's 200-invoice batch payment limit, it is split into sequential batches automatically, so high-volume payers still reconcile cleanly.
Built for Practices and Outsourced Finance Teams
Bookkeeping practices
One setup, every client benefits. Run the same remittance matching across every client's Xero organisation from a single account, with each client's data kept separate.
Xero partners & advisors
Channel-partner friendly for Xero Gold, Silver, and Platinum partners. Add remittance automation to your client offering without bolting on another platform for your team to learn.
VA & outsourced finance firms
Virtual assistants and outsourced or offshore finance teams replace repetitive manual matching with review of exceptions only, so capacity scales with your client base, not your headcount.
Client Separation
Every Client, Kept Separate and Auditable
Running remittances for many clients from one account should never blur the line between them. RemitClear keeps each client isolated and connects to Xero without ever handling a password.
Per-client data isolation
Every client's remittances and data are isolated within your workspace, so one client is never visible to another.
Source document on every posting
The original remittance is attached to each invoice in Xero, so every payment carries its own audit trail back to the document it came from.
Posts to the right client's Xero
Approved payments route back to the correct client organisation automatically, removing the biggest source of multi-client cleanup.
Team permissions and 2FA
Optional two-factor authentication and per-user permissions keep access controlled across your practice team.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does RemitClear work across multiple client Xero organisations?
Connect each client's Xero organisation to a single RemitClear account and move between them from one login. Every client keeps its own open invoices, invoice prefixes, default bank account, and remittance history, and matched payments post back to the correct client's Xero. There is no separate tool to log into per client, so one setup benefits your whole book.
Is each client's data kept separate?
Yes. Every client connects through Xero's OAuth, so RemitClear never sees or stores a Xero password, and each client's data is isolated within your workspace. One client is never visible to another, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can add optional two-factor authentication and per-user permissions for your team.
Do we have to review every remittance?
No. High-confidence matches can post automatically at the 100% confidence threshold, so your team reviews only the exceptions: an unmatched number, an odd amount, an overpayment, or a credit. That is what makes this scale across a client base. The original remittance PDF is attached to each invoice in Xero, so every posting carries its own audit trail.
What if a client's remittance does not match what is in Xero?
This is common. Payers drop prefixes, strip invoice numbers, pay out of order, overpay, or send negative-value credit lines. RemitClear matches on exact references first, then falls back to partial and prefix-based matching, and handles part payments, overpayments, and deductions. Anything it cannot resolve cleanly is flagged for review, where you can search by contact, invoice, or amount without leaving the page.
Is there a new platform for the practice to learn?
No. RemitClear lives alongside Xero rather than replacing any of your tooling. Remittances are captured, matched, and posted back into the right client's Xero with the source document attached, so your team works the way they already do. Onboarding is fast: practices typically connect their first clients and go live quickly.
Is RemitClear suitable for Xero partners and outsourced finance firms?
Yes. RemitClear is channel-partner friendly for Xero Gold, Silver, and Platinum partners, virtual assistants, and outsourced or offshore finance firms. One setup runs the same remittance matching across every client's Xero organisation, so the time saving compounds across your whole client base rather than helping a single client.
