Many insurance agencies, MGAs, wholesalers, and program administrators also rely on Xero as their General Ledger. The challenge isn&#8217;t Xero. The challenge is that insurance accounting begins before accounting entries ever reach Xero. Premium must be collected. Trust balances managed. Carrier statements reconciled. Producer commissions calculated. Carrier settlements approved. Only after those operational accounting activities have been completed should financial entries be posted into the General Ledger. That&#8217;s where an insurance accounting subledger fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xero Is a Financial Accounting Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xero performs financial accounting extremely well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It manages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>General Ledger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accounts Payable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accounts Receivable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bank Reconciliation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial Statements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those capabilities make it an excellent financial accounting platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insurance Accounting Is Operational<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insurance accounting includes activities that occur before financial accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Examples include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Premium Accounting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trust Accounting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrier Payables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company Payables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commission Processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium Reconciliation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash Application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Settlement Approval<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those operational activities produce the accounting entries eventually recorded in Xero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Excel Usually Appears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations rarely intend to build accounting around spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>They simply need somewhere to manage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trust Balances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrier Statements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium Reconciliation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commission Calculations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Settlement Reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excel fills the gap.
