Step 3: Set up ‘Groups’ in Reap and match them with the spend category in Accounting Software

Please complete this step if you wish to sync all transactions as reconciled transactions in accounting software. Reap’s Groups feature organises your team members into ‘Groups’ (e.g. by department or location), which can correspond to your tracking categories.

If you have already set up ‘Groups’ in Reap, you may skip this step.

There are two ways to sync all your Reap transactions to accounting software. You can pick the option that best suits your accounting practice. To provide more flexibility for you and your team, you may use different methods for individual line items. We use Xero's integration as one of the examples.
