SYSBUS manages end-to-end Reckon to Xero migrations for Australian businesses — from Reckon Accounts desktop, Reckon One and Reckon Accounts Hosted to Xero. We handle the file audit, data migration, payroll reconfiguration and the first BAS period.
Why migrate
Xero offers a broad Australian app ecosystem with integrations for most business platforms
Xero's GST and BAS tools are purpose-built for Australian compliance requirements
Xero Payroll handles STP Phase 2, Modern Awards and leave management
Cloud-first architecture with browser and mobile access from anywhere
Xero's bank feeds and reconciliation are highly automated
Xero integrates natively with Cin7, Unleashed, Deputy, Shopify and Employment Hero
We're vendor-neutral — if staying on your current platform suits you better, we'll help you optimise it instead.
