Remittance advice, reconciled in Xero. And it knows when not to touch your ledger.
Forward the email or drop the PDF. AutoRemit reads every invoice reference, matches each line against your outstanding Xero invoices, and posts the payment: invoice marked paid, remittance attached. Anything it can’t verify waits for you, with the reason spelled out.
Demo mode included, no Xero connection needed to look around.

HeldPayment dated Fri 31 Jul, the bank feed hasn’t caught up yet. Posting waits for the money to land. Override available.
From inbox to reconciled, in four steps.
Set your confidence threshold once. Everything after that happens in the open.
Remittances come to you
Forwarded email to your dedicated address, or drag-and-drop upload. PDF or image, in whatever layout the payer uses.
AI reads the document
Payer, amount, payment date, and every invoice reference on the page. One invoice or fifty, the effort is the same: none.
Every line is scored
Matched to your outstanding Xero invoices by invoice number, with a confidence score. No exact number? It falls back to supplier name and amount, and tells you it did.
Xero is updated properly
Above your threshold, the payment posts, the invoice is marked paid, and the remittance PDF is attached to the record. Below it, the match waits in the review queue.
Any tool can post a payment. AutoRemit knows when it shouldn’t.
Automation that guesses creates work you can’t see until reconciliation day. So the matching engine is built to stop, and to tell you exactly why it stopped.
The payment date hasn’t matured
The remittance says Friday; the bank feed hasn’t seen the money yet. AutoRemit holds the posting rather than reconciling a payment that isn’t there, no phantom payments to unwind later. Override the hold whenever you know better.
The remittance is a duplicate
Forwarded twice, or uploaded after it already arrived by email, a remittance that matches one already processed is blocked before it can double-mark your invoices.
The invoice isn’t in Xero
A reference that doesn’t exist in your file is flagged, not guessed at. AutoRemit reconciles invoices that already exist in Xero. It never creates them.
The payment date is missing or invalid
No date, or one that doesn’t parse, stops the posting and asks. Nothing gets quietly stamped with today’s date.
It’s a part payment
When the advice pays less than the invoice total, AutoRemit posts exactly what was paid and leaves the balance open, so the invoice keeps chasing the remainder, the way your ledger should read.
Every hold, block and flag lands in the activity feed with its reason attached, an audit trail you can hand to your accountant, your auditor, or the you of six months from now.
Three references, kept apart.
A remittance advice has its own number. The payer has theirs. And Xero records a third. Software that blurs them makes month-end worse. AutoRemit keeps all three distinct and puts each where it belongs.
The document’s own identifier. AutoRemit keys duplicate detection on it and keeps it with the stored PDF.
What the payer calls their payment. Stored on the match and searchable in the activity feed, so you can answer “what happened to…” emails in seconds.
What’s actually written on the payment in Xero: consistent, predictable, and never muddled with the two above.

The activity feed records every match, hold, override and sync, what happened, when, and why. Nothing AutoRemit does is invisible.
Try it before it can touch anything
Demo mode ships with sample remittances and a sample ledger. Run the matching engine, work the review queue, trip the guardrails, all before you’ve connected Xero at all.
When you do connect, it’s through Xero’s standard secure authorisation, and you can disconnect from either side at any time.
Open the demo →Questions bookkeepers actually ask.
Does AutoRemit create invoices in Xero?
No. AutoRemit reconciles against invoices that already exist in your Xero file: it records the payment, marks the invoice paid and attaches the remittance PDF. References it can’t find are flagged for you to resolve, never invented.
What happens when a match isn’t confident?
Every match is scored. Only matches above the threshold you set auto-confirm; everything else waits in the review queue where you confirm, correct or dismiss it. Nothing posts without meeting your bar.
What if the money hasn’t reached the bank yet?
AutoRemit holds the posting until the payment date has matured and the bank feed has caught up, instead of posting early and making a mess. You can override any hold, and the override is logged in the activity feed.
How do remittances get into AutoRemit?
Two ways: email forwarded (by you, or sent directly by your payers) to your dedicated AutoRemit address, or drag-and-drop upload in the app. PDF and image formats are supported.
Can I try it without connecting Xero?
Yes. Demo mode runs the full pipeline (extraction, matching, review queue, guardrails) on sample data. Connect Xero only when you’re ready.
How does the Xero connection work?
Through Xero’s standard secure app authorisation, which you grant and can revoke at any time. AutoRemit’s access is limited to what reconciliation needs: reading your outstanding invoices, recording payments, and attaching documents.
Reconciliation you don’t have to double-check.
Open AutoRemit and run the demo on sample data. Connect Xero when, and only when, you’re satisfied.
