This walks you from a new account to your first report. It takes about ten minutes, plus however long your first Xero sync runs in the background.
1

Create your account

Go to ledgitify.com and choose Start free trial. You can:
  • Sign up with Xero: authenticate with Xero and we pre-fill your name, email, and organisation name, then connect your Xero organisation in the same step, or
  • Sign up with email: enter your details, verify your email, and connect Xero afterwards.
Every new organisation gets a 30-day free trial with full features. No credit card required.
2

Connect your Xero organisation

If you didn’t connect during sign-up, open Settings → Xero and choose Connect Xero organisation. You’ll approve read-only access in Xero and land back in Ledgitify. See Connect Xero for the detailed flow.Your transactions start syncing in the background straight away. You can carry on setting up while it runs.
No Xero? You can still use Ledgitify by importing a bank-statement CSV or entering transactions manually. Skip to step 4.
3

Create a project and its budget lines

Go to Projects → New project. Give it a name and date range, pick the type (grant, commercial, internal, or program), and add your budget lines (for example Salaries, Equipment, Travel) with an amount per month or quarter.Not sure of the numbers yet? Use Budget planning mode to draft a forward-looking budget with inflation assumptions before the project starts.
4

Allocate your transactions

Open the allocation workspace (Transactions). Work through your synced or imported transactions and assign each one, or a portion of it, to a budget line. A single transaction can be split across several budget lines or across several projects. Anything irrelevant, you simply exclude.
5

View and export your report

Open your project’s Report. You’ll see budget, actual, and variance per budget line per period. Export it as PDF or CSV, choosing summary (funder-ready) or detailed (with the underlying transactions, for audit).
