Crypto bookkeeping for Xero,
automated end to end
Connect Xero in Kryptos Enterprise and your digital asset activity becomes clean, balanced journal entries. Kryptos mirrors your Xero chart of accounts, classifies transactions with a rules engine you control, and posts finished journals to Xero. Your team and your advisor review the same books, with no CSV mapping in between.
SOC 2 Type II · read-only by design · OAuth 2.0
Xero runs your books. Crypto just doesn't flow in.
Xero is built around bank feeds and reconciliation. Digital assets sit outside that model, so most teams end up rekeying them. Three things get in the way.
There's no bank feed for wallets
Xero imports and reconciles daily bank feeds. Wallets and exchanges aren't banks and send no feed, so crypto never flows into Xero the way the rest of your money does.
Xero can't value a token
Xero has no way to price a coin at the moment it moved or to track cost basis. That calculation has to happen somewhere before an entry can be booked.
Hand-keyed journals don't scale
The fallback is a manual journal per trade, or a CSV you map by hand. It breaks on volume and misses gas fees, staking rewards, transfers between your own wallets, and DeFi.
From connection to posted journals in four steps
The link is OAuth, the same authorization Xero uses across its app ecosystem, so you never paste keys or share a password.
Open ERP Integrations
In Kryptos Enterprise, go to ERP Integrations and connect Xero. That link lets Kryptos read your accounts and post journals back.
Kryptos syncs your chart of accounts
Kryptos pulls your Xero chart of accounts automatically, so crypto maps to the accounts your team already uses. Nothing to rebuild by hand.
Set up the rules engine
Write rules once for your wallets, counterparties, and transaction types. Kryptos uses them to classify activity and turn it into the right journal entries every time.
Push sync-ready journals
Review the prepared entries and push them to Xero as balanced manual journals. As new transactions land, Kryptos keeps the books current.
Kryptos handles the crypto, Xero stays your system of record
Once Xero is connected, the work moves from data entry to review. Here is what Kryptos takes off your plate.
One chart of accounts, mirrored
Kryptos syncs your Xero chart of accounts, so crypto books to the same account codes you already use. Add an account in Xero, refresh, and the mapping follows.
A rules engine that does the bookkeeping
Set rules once for wallets, counterparties, and transaction types. Kryptos applies them across historical and new activity, so classification stays consistent and you're not labelling line by line.
Balanced journals you can trust
Every entry ties back to the underlying transaction and the price used to value it, with debits and credits that balance. Review, then post to Xero with a trail an auditor can follow.
Built the way Xero teams actually work
Posts as proper Xero manual journals
Kryptos writes balanced manual journals against your chart of accounts, the way Xero expects double entries, rather than dumping a CSV of trades. Debits equal credits on every entry.
One set of books for team and advisor
Xero includes unlimited users, so your in-house finance team and your external accountant work in the same ledger. The crypto sub-ledger behind each journal is there for both of them to audit.
DeFi, staking, and NFTs, not just spot
Staking rewards, lending yield, liquidity positions, and NFT activity are recognized with the right treatment, so the harder corners of the portfolio still close cleanly.
Built for finance teams, secured for their data
- SOC 2 Type II report available under NDA
- OAuth 2.0 connection, no password or keys shared
- SSO with SAML and encryption at rest

Xero crypto accounting, answered
How do I record cryptocurrency transactions in Xero?
Xero has no wallet or exchange feed, so crypto can't flow in like a bank transaction. Your options are a manual journal per trade, a CSV you map by hand, or a sub-ledger that automates it. Kryptos connects your sources, classifies the activity, and posts balanced manual journals into Xero for you.
Does Xero support crypto natively?
No. Xero has no built-in crypto valuation, cost-basis tracking, or asset sub-ledger. That calculation happens in Kryptos, and Xero receives the finished journal entries, so Xero stays your general ledger while Kryptos handles the crypto side.
How does the Kryptos Xero integration connect?
Over OAuth 2.0, the same authorization Xero uses across its app store. You connect in Kryptos Enterprise under ERP Integrations and approve access on Xero's screen. No password or API keys change hands, and Kryptos then syncs your chart of accounts.
Will crypto journals map to my existing Xero chart of accounts?
Yes. Kryptos syncs your Xero chart of accounts on connect, and your rules map each transaction type to the right account code. Entries post as balanced manual journals, with debits equal to credits, against the accounts you already use.
Xero or QuickBooks for crypto accounting?
Kryptos supports both through the same rules-and-journals model, so pick the ledger you already run. Xero suits unlimited-user teams and advisor-led firms, especially in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. See our QuickBooks integration if that's your system of record.
Put your crypto books on autopilot in Xero
Connect Xero in Kryptos Enterprise, set your rules once, and let balanced journals flow. Your close gets shorter and your ledger stays true to the chain.
