Overview

A project in Xenett is a way to organize and manage a specific piece of work you perform for a client. It acts as a container that holds tasks, statuses, timelines, and ownership for that work.

Accounting firms handle many different workflows—some recurring and some one-time. Xenett projects help you structure all of this work in a clear, consistent, and trackable way.

What a Project Includes

A project in Xenett typically includes:

  • A project type that defines the kind of work

  • A list of tasks, grouped into sections

  • Custom statuses at both project and task levels

  • Start and due dates

This structure ensures teams know what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and the current progress.

Common Use Cases

1. Monthly or Quarterly Close

Projects are commonly used to manage close workflows. Each close period is tracked as its own project, with tasks such as transaction review, reconciliations, and reporting.

2. Routine Bookkeeping

For weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly bookkeeping work, projects help group recurring tasks and maintain consistency across clients.

3. Client Onboarding

Onboarding is typically a one-time project. Using a project ensures every required setup step is completed and progress is visible to the team.

4. Cleanup or Catch-Up Work

Temporary or corrective work can be managed as a standalone project, making it easy to track progress and outstanding issues.

5. Tax Preparation

Tax-related work often follows a different workflow than monthly operations. Projects allow firms to manage tax tasks separately with their own structure and statuses.
