I might have been a bit optimistic with my half-day estimate... 😕
Honestly, I didn't realise how little work our previous accountants had done - they've reconciled every single transaction without putting a client reference (sometimes any reference at all), even though this info is usually available on the bank feed (that's how you reconcile the payments!)
But the upside of this is that we'll be able to use Xero reports with confidence, and all of our historical finances will be in order. More of a hygiene factor than a #win, but still.
Progress update: FY17/18 now has client references on each transaction. (I'm collecting a list of ones where it wasn't obvious, or I have queries, and I'll check with @iteles at the end of the process)
Unfortunately, as I said there's no helpful process arising from this, because it's totally manual and not relevant going forward (because we've been diligently putting client refs on invoices since the end of 2017)
However I did notice an option to automate reconciliation of items on the bank feed, which will be useful for recurring payments like phone bills, subscriptions etc. - which I'll document if I end up using it.

Per #373 (comment), invoices from before Jan 2018 are missing client references, and therefore don't appear in P&L reports we need to run.
There is no easy solution - just a matter of going into each invoice and adding a client ref line by line.
