Business Accounting
Xero-only accounting for businesses that want cleaner systems.
Elephant Advisory is a Xero-only firm built around cloud software, modern process and better business data. We help Australian businesses move out of messy spreadsheets, disconnected apps and slow admin so the numbers are cleaner, faster and easier to trust.
Led by Sam Draper
Cloud accounting built for the way modern businesses operate.
XERO-ONLY FOCUS
We do not split our attention across every accounting platform. We specialise in Xero, which means deeper product knowledge, cleaner setups and better advice around the way your file should actually run.
CLOUD SOFTWARE STACK
Xero is the core, but the surrounding apps matter too. We help choose and connect the right cloud tools for payments, payroll, reporting, approvals, inventory and workflow.
PROCESS BEFORE PLUGINS
Software does not fix a broken process by itself. We design the workflow first, then use Xero and the right apps to reduce manual work, double handling and admin drag.
DATA YOU CAN TRUST
Clean data changes how a business feels. We help build Xero processes that make reporting faster, reconciliations tighter and decisions easier because the numbers are current and reliable.
In short:Elephant Advisory is a Xero-only accounting firm and Xero Platinum Partner. We move Australian businesses off messy spreadsheets and disconnected apps into Xero, so the numbers are cleaner, faster and easier to trust.
Led by Sam Draper, Director & Head of Accounting · Chartered Accountant (CA) · Xero specialist.
What’s included
Xero, cloud software and process that actually work together.
From Xero setup and migration to app integrations, automation and reporting, we build accounting systems that reduce admin and improve decision quality.
Xero Setup and Clean Up
We set up or clean up Xero so the chart of accounts, tracking, bank feeds, payroll, GST and reporting structure match the way your business actually operates.
Software Review
We review your Xero file, app stack and accounting workflow so you can see what should stay, what should change and what is slowing the business down.
Cloud App Stack Design
We help select and connect the right software around Xero so payments, approvals, payroll, inventory, documents and reporting move with less friction.
Automation and Workflow
We improve the process behind the software so repeat admin, double handling, manual checks and avoidable rework are reduced before they become normal.
Management Reporting
We turn Xero data into reporting that shows what is happening now, what needs attention and what decisions should happen next.
Xero Training and Support
We help owners and teams use Xero properly so the system stays clean after setup and the business does not slide back into old habits.
Who it’s for
Most accounting problems are really system problems.
If your bookkeeping is patched together with manual work, old software, duplicate entry and reports that arrive too late, you are not running from live information. Xero gives the business one clean source of truth when it is set up properly.
Structures we plan for
Sole traders
Partnerships
Companies
Family trusts
SMSFs
Not sure yours still fits? Business structure review
Industries we know well
Why us
Cloud software only works when the process is clean.
Xero is powerful, but it will not fix a messy workflow on its own. If your file, apps and team habits are not set up properly, the business still ends up with late reports, double handling and numbers nobody fully trusts.
