What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-refresh executive financial dashboards with live Xero accounting data

Pull current month P&L, balance sheet, and cash position from Xero into Tableau dashboards automatically. Financial metrics update hourly without manual exports. Executives see real-time financial performance without waiting for month-end reporting cycles.

Build monthly board decks with enriched financial trends from Xero invoices

Aggregate invoice aging, revenue recognition, and customer payment patterns from Xero for board-ready visualizations. Redbird extracts invoice line items and enriches with payment history to power cohort analysis. Transform raw accounting data into executive storytelling.

Alert finance teams when Tableau KPIs breach thresholds using Xero actuals

Monitor burn rate, runway, and cash thresholds in Tableau dashboards connected to live Xero balances. When metrics cross predefined limits, trigger notifications to finance stakeholders. Replace manual variance checks with automated financial monitoring.

Archive monthly financial snapshot dashboards with locked Xero transaction history

Capture point-in-time Tableau financial dashboards tied to specific Xero reporting periods for compliance and audit trails. Store historical views of closed accounting periods even as live data continues updating. Maintain immutable records of financial reporting without version control chaos.

Sync department-level spending insights back to Xero tracking categories

Analyze expense patterns in Tableau and update Xero tracking categories based on discovered trends. Apply data-driven classifications to improve future expense reporting accuracy. Close the loop between analytics insights and accounting system structure.

Generate automated variance reports comparing Tableau forecasts to Xero actuals

Match budget models and forecasts built in Tableau against actual transactions from Xero automatically. Calculate variance by cost center, project, or department without manual reconciliation. Surface budget-to-actual gaps the moment accounting data closes each period.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Tableau and Xero with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands both Tableau's calculated fields, parameters, and data extracts alongside Xero's chart of accounts, tracking categories, and multi-currency transactions.

AI that reads financial schemas and dashboard structures

Redbird maps Xero's account codes, tax types, and contact records to Tableau dimensions and measures automatically. It recognizes invoice line item structures, bank transaction feeds, and journal entry patterns, then translates them into dashboard-ready data models. The AI handles currency conversions, date alignments between fiscal periods and calendar views, and nested tracking category hierarchies. You get financial data that's already shaped for visualization without ETL scripting.
