Xero
Causal reads the following financial statements from Xero:

Causal doesn't write any data back to Xero.

FAQ
Can you bring in tracking categories from Xero into Causal as a category?
Yes! Click "Edit this Datasource" in the Overview tab:
Then choose the tracking categories you want to pull in. Only select the ones you actually need. The refresh time will increase significantly if you have many tracking category items.
It's also possible to "Pull Vendors and Customers" as data source categories. QuickBooks Online doesn't provide this breakdown, so we calculate the financial statements based on the transactions if you enable this setting. If you have many transactions the initial setup can take several hours or even days if you enable this setting.
