Sending Xero Reports to Accounting Clients via WhatsApp

Why WhatsApp works for accounting clients

Your clients are electricians, shop owners, and contractors. They're on a job site or behind a counter all day. They're not checking email for your monthly financial summary. They're checking WhatsApp.

Most accounting firms send reports as PDF attachments or schedule a call. The PDF sits unopened. The call takes 30 minutes to say what a chart and two sentences could say. WhatsApp puts the numbers where the client will actually see them.

Coming soon

WhatsApp delivery is coming soon to Chartcastr. The workflow below shows what to expect.

Here's how it will work:

  1. Connect Xero as a source
  2. Create a Pulse with cash flow, P&L summary, and outstanding receivables
  3. Set WhatsApp as the delivery channel
  4. Schedule monthly, timed to land after month-end close

Think about a bookkeeping firm with 30 small business clients. A plumber doesn't want a 15-page financial report. He wants to know if he made money last month and if anyone owes him. A WhatsApp message with a cash flow chart and a short summary gives him that in 10 seconds.

What the client sees

A cash flow chart lands in their WhatsApp thread. The AI summary is right below it.

"Cash position at month end was $34,200, up from $28,900 last month. Revenue was $52,100. Expenses came in at $41,300, with materials being the biggest line at $18,400. You have $7,800 in outstanding receivables, two invoices are over 30 days. Overall a strong month."

The plumber reads it on his lunch break. He knows where he stands. If something looks off, he replies right there. No scheduling a call. No logging into a portal.

The chart is formatted for mobile. Clean bars, big numbers. It doesn't need a desktop screen to make sense.

What to do now
