Gmail and Xero.
We jump on a call. Hook Friday up to your Gmail and Xero, map your suppliers, catch up the last 30 days of bills. Done properly so you don't touch it again.
Bills come into your inbox like always. Friday types them into Xero. Coded to the right tax account, logged against the job, ready for you to sign off. The data entry stops.
Onboarding our first cohort of Auckland builders. Book a setup call if you want in.
The bills view. Drafted in Xero, coded to a job, sitting waiting for your tick.

Nothing changes for them. Bills land in the same inbox they always have.
Reads the bill. Picks the tax account. Drafts it in Xero. Codes it to the right job for live job costing.
Drafts wait for you in Xero. Nothing posts without you. Approve from anywhere Xero runs: desk, phone or ute.
Supplier, amount, GST, line items, due date, reference. All pulled out of the PDF, coded to the right tax account, drafted in Xero, logged against the job. Friday flags anything it isn't sure about. You don't get silent mistakes.
Monthly statement comes in. Friday matches it against the bills already in Xero and tells you exactly what's missing.
Every drafted bill is coded to a job automatically. You see live spend per project in the dashboard. No separate sheet to keep, no monthly reconciliation pain.
Behind on the books? Friday pulls every bill from the last month, dedupes against what's already in Xero, and drafts only the new ones. One click on the setup call.
Builders who've outgrown the shoebox but aren't yet running an in-house accounts team.
The catch-up keeps getting pushed because it's hours of typing nobody wants to do.
You're paying bookkeeper rates for data entry your bookkeeper doesn't want to do.
By the time bills land in Xero, the project's already over budget, and you find out too late to do anything about it.
Bag of nails to Job A, timber to Job B. Xero's OCR can't split it. Friday can.
AP keying eats a builder 6 to 10 hours a week. Friday costs less than one of those hours a month.
We run the onboarding ourselves and set Friday up properly. Gmail and Xero connected, suppliers mapped, last month of bills caught up, dashboard walked through. Once it's live you sign off drafts in Xero. That's it.
No. Friday creates drafts only. Every bill waits for you to approve it in Xero, exactly like the ones your bookkeeper enters today. Nothing posts without your sign-off.
Every extraction gets a confidence score. Low-confidence bills land in a review queue with the supplier, amount and line items pre-filled so you fix them in one tap rather than typing from scratch. The original PDF is one click away.
Same job, less typing. Friday drafts the bill against the right tax account and job. Your bookkeeper reviews the draft in Xero (or in Friday) and approves. They keep doing what they already do, you just stop paying them to key invoices in.
Xero's OCR pulls fields. It doesn't know which of your jobs the bill belongs to, it doesn't back-cost to the project, and it can't handle the same supplier shipping to multiple tax accounts. Friday does all three.
Yes. Friday reads your bills inbox and writes drafts to your Xero. Bill content is processed by Anthropic's Claude API to extract the fields. Anthropic doesn't train its models on API customer data. We never share your data with anyone else, and your supplier list stays your supplier list.
Most builders run 60 to 100 supplier bills a month, so a typical month is about $15 to $25. You pay 25c for each bill Friday drafts into Xero, with no flat fee and no minimum. A quiet month costs less and a busy month a little more, so you only ever pay for the work Friday actually does.
Cancel any time. The $750 setup fee is one-off, and after that you only pay 25c per bill Friday drafts, billed monthly. A month where it drafts nothing costs nothing. Bills already drafted in Xero stay in Xero. You keep your data either way.
