Questions, answered

Is this a substitute for my accountant?

No. It's a fast weekly read on margin using Poster revenue and cost of goods against Xero overhead and payroll. Your books in Xero remain the source of truth.

What expenses does it include?

Whatever overhead and payroll categories are recorded in Xero for that week, alongside the revenue and cost of goods sold that Poster reports.

Does it file or submit anything?

No. It only emails you a summary. Nothing is filed, submitted, or changed in Xero.
