Sole trader cannot correctly record invoices paid into a personal bank account on Xero, causing confusion with accounts and fear of costly future mistakes.
Xero assumes a business bank account for payment reconciliation; there's no guided workflow for one-person businesses who temporarily receive payments in a personal account and have already spent the money.
