  1. July 07 2026 Updates

    1. Broadcast Email & Banner

    Send targeted, email broadcasts to your clients and publish live banners on the client portal — both set up right from the Client Contacts tab. Reach the right audience without leaving your workflow.

    2. Bookkeeping Dashboard – Bank Balance & QB Balance

    The Bookkeeping Dashboard now shows Bank Balance, QB Balance, and Last Updated columns, pulled in via the QBO browser extension. See balance health for every client at a glance.

    3. Clearing Account Review – Expanded Matching

    Clearing Account Review now matches one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many transactions, and supports Bill.com clearing accounts alongside merchant processors like MX Merchant and Stripe. Fewer manual reconciliations, more accounts covered.

    4. Balance Sheet by Class and by Location

    The Balance Sheet report now supports Class and Location breakdowns for QBO-connected clients, mirroring the existing P&L view, in both the Financial Review and Publish Reports. Get the same granular visibility you already have on your P&L, now on your Balance Sheet.

    5. Email Integration

    Connect your Gmail or Outlook inbox at the firm level, create personal or shared inboxes, and turn any email into a task, attach it to a project, or tag a colleague internally — all without leaving Xenett. Client-related emails automatically surface inside each client's dashboard.

    6. Drive Integration

    Connect Google Drive or OneDrive/SharePoint at the firm level, map each client's folder, and get two-way sync — view, upload, and attach files to tasks directly from your connected drive. No more switching tabs to find a client file.

    7. Detailed Question Summary in Client Notification Emails

    Client notification emails now include a snapshot of open questions and W9 requests using the new @questiondetails merge tag, showing up to 5 items with a link to the portal for the rest. Clients see what's pending before they even log in.

    Transfer all tasks from one assignee to another directly from the firm level — with the option to include future recurring tasks. Ideal for when a team member is transitioning out.

    2. Clearing Accounts Review – Now Includes Payroll Clearing

    1. Duplicate Entries – Year-to-Date (YTD) View

    A new configuration in the Duplicate Entries review point now shows transactions YTD, helping you easily identify missed or rolling-forward duplicates from prior months.

    Create tasks faster with a simplified, search-driven workflow that auto-suggests Review Points and GL accounts as you type, while also allowing quick creation of custom review points without switching between tabs.

    3. 1099 Threshold Limit Update

    The 1099 threshold limit has been updated in line with the latest changes effective from 2026, helping you track vendors more accurately and stay compliant with year-end reporting requirements.

  6. Dec 22 2025 Updates

    Entry Checklist Review Point

    A new review point that helps you stay on top of recurring journal entries by comparing expected entries with actual postings. You can quickly identify missing or extra entries and seamlessly switch to trend analysis for deeper visibility into patterns over time.


    Clearing Account Review Point

    A new review point designed specifically for clearing accounts. Transactions are automatically grouped into opening differences, next-month clearings, and unmatched transactions, making it easier to identify issues and resolve balances efficiently.


    Centralized Login (SSO)

    Xenett now supports centralized login using Google or Microsoft accounts. This enables secure, single sign-on access across your firm, reducing login friction while maintaining strong security controls.

  7. Nov 24 2025 Updates

    New Feature

    Review Payroll Expense – New Review Point

    A new review point that automates payroll accrual tracking. By mapping your Accrual and Expense accounts, Xenett will detect payroll-related journal entries from QuickBooks or Xero and generate the required monthly accrual and reversal entries automatically.


    Custom Fields – New 1099 Tab

    Custom Fields has been expanded with a dedicated 1099 Fields tab. You can now manage fields specific to the 1099 module, use the new yearly reset option, and quickly filter or export the data you need without affecting your main client properties.


    Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

    Client Portal now supports email-based OTP verification. Each login requires a one-time password sent to the user’s email, adding an extra layer of security. Devices verified once remain trusted for 30 days, ensuring smooth ongoing access.


    Manage User – New Permissions Tab

    A new Permissions tab allows you to control staff access to key modules. You can now enable or restrict visibility of the Template Module and the ability to edit Client Properties for each user, helping you fine-tune internal access based on roles.


    Time Tracking – Manual Entry & Auto Timer

    Time Tracking now offers flexible logging through manual time entry or an automatic timer. Users can record duration or start–end time, or run a live timer that continues until stopped and automatically adds the entry to the Time Log.
