Xero for GP practices - FAQ
Following the success of our recent XERO Masterclasses we would like to share the most frequently asked questions relating to Xero together with our solutions.
Using Xero to manage your GP Practice’s finances can save you time across a number of areas, from repeat entries to the collation of year-end accounts. From our extensive experience on working with GP Practices using Xero we have put together a collection of frequently asked questions and how to overcome them below.
1. Is there a limit to the number of users on Xero?
a. No, you can have as many users as required.
2. How do I add a new Xero user?
a. Adding a new user is done via the Xero organisation settings section and then going into the user then simply clicking “add new user”.
3. How often do I need to renew my bank feeds?
a. Banks feeds need to be renewed every 90 days; this is to provide an extra layer of security.
4. How do I renew my bank feed?
a. When the bank feed has expired, this can be renewed by clicking the “renew bank feeds” button which will show at the bottom of the bank account. If this does not show up, then this can also be done by selecting the 3 dots on the top right corner of the bank and then selecting “refresh bank feed”.
5. How do I add a new code?

a. No, but our Xero healthcare team can assist in setting this up specifically tailored to your needs.
