Money Forward Expands Global Reach with Xero API Integration in Cloud Accounting

Money Forward, Inc. has taken a significant step in enhancing its global accounting solutions by initiating an API integration with Xero, a leading cloud accounting software based in New Zealand, designed specifically for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This strategic partnership enables users of Money Forward's Cloud Consolidated Accounting to automatically retrieve accounting data from overseas subsidiaries that utilize Xero, including vital financial statements and metrics.

With the integration, diverse accounting data from international subsidiaries can be collected and converted into a unified format. The system allows for real-time changes in consolidated currencies, decimal precision, display languages, and compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This advancement is set to dramatically accelerate the efficiency of consolidated accounting processes by lowering the manual effort involved in data collection and reducing the chance for error.

The Need for Enhanced Global Integration


The backdrop of this collaboration aligns closely with the increasing trend of Japanese companies expanding their operations globally, establishing overseas subsidiaries. Managing consolidated accounts with these foreign entities often entails overcoming myriad challenges. These include language barriers, differences in commercial practices, and time zone shifts, all of which significantly complicate communication and can lead to cumbersome processes for collecting and processing financial data.

The new API integration with Xero allows users of Money Forward Cloud Consolidated Accounting to connect to Xero with a simple click and directly access required data, streamlining the entire process. This not only alleviates the painstaking effort associated with data collection but also enhances the accuracy and speed of consolidated accounting tasks. The ability to view accounting data in real time across the entire organization empowers businesses to make more informed and prompt management decisions, ultimately bolstering governance across their international operations.

Demonstrating the Solution


To showcase the capabilities of this new integration, a demo video has been made available that exemplifies the seamless process of data retrieval and consolidation facilitated by the Money Forward platform and Xero.

A Proven Track Record


Previously, Money Forward Cloud demonstrated its resilience and adaptability through its ability to integrate flexibly with a variety of domestic systems, supporting businesses in enhancing their operational efficiencies. The collaboration with Xero signifies a major step forward in extending these strengths into international markets, allowing businesses to adapt more readily to the challenges posed by global operations. Money Forward is also committed to continuing the development of integrations with other leading global accounting systems, ensuring that companies around the world can benefit from streamlined operations and global scalability.
