Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take?

Less than 2 minutes. Click "Connect", authorise the integration, and Field Ascend automatically imports your account codes and settings. No technical knowledge required.

What does "2-way sync" mean?

Changes in your accounting software automatically update Field Ascend. Mark an invoice as paid in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or FreeAgent? It updates in Field Ascend instantly. You never need to check both systems.

Can I edit an invoice after posting?

Yes. Edit the invoice in either Field Ascend or your accounting platform—changes sync automatically. However, best practice is to void and recreate if the invoice has already been sent to the customer.

Does this handle credit notes?

Yes. Create credit notes in Field Ascend and post them to Xero/QuickBooks/Sage in one click. They're automatically linked to the original invoice for clean audit trails.

How does VAT/tax mapping work?

During setup, you map Field Ascend tax rates (e.g., "Standard VAT") to your accounting platform's tax codes. Every invoice posted automatically uses the correct VAT rate—no manual selection needed.

Is my data secure?

Yes. We use OAuth 2.0 authentication (bank-grade security) and never store your accounting platform passwords. All data transfers are encrypted.

What happens to existing invoices?

The integration only affects new invoices posted after setup. Your existing invoices in Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage remain untouched.

Can I connect to multiple accounting platforms?

No, you connect to one platform at a time (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or FreeAgent). However, you can disconnect and reconnect to a different platform whenever needed.

Which Sage products do you support?

We support Sage Accounting (formerly Sage One/Sage Business Cloud Accounting) for small businesses, and Sage 200 for mid-market companies. Both include full 2-way sync with automatic payment status updates.

Does this work with Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

Yes. Since Field Ascend posts invoices directly to your accounting platform, all MTD requirements are handled by Xero/QuickBooks/Sage as normal.
