Partner with Control-C
Protect every ledger. Prove every moment.
When accountants recommend Xero, they are recommending a single, cloud-hosted copy of their client’s financial truth. Control-C gives that truth a second anchor—a verifiable, independent timeline of every change, every transaction, every attachment.
Continuity is not about avoiding failure. It is about remembering everything.
Why it matters
Xero’s own Terms of Use are clear:
“Data loss is an unavoidable risk when using any technology. You’re responsible for maintaining copies of your data entered into our services.” — Clause 37
When an outage, deletion, or mis-sync occurs, Xero’s priority is to restore their system, not your client’s data. Accountants carry the professional duty to make sure clients understand that reality—and to prove informed consent.
From compliance to confidence
Responsible Xero Partners do more than sell software—they build trust. That duty of care includes:
- Explaining Xero’s terms in plain language.
- Documenting informed consent before onboarding.
- Ensuring clients have a compliant backup in place.
- Leading by example with transparent data practices.
Control-C automates this discipline. It snapshots every SaaS event in real time, giving your clients full data retention, audit-ready traceability, and local data availability for IRD or statutory review.
Trusted by leading firms

Greg Millar & Vanessa Williams, Alliott NZ Ltd
“As systems move online, it’s vital to have safeguards against user error, cyberattacks, or software issues. We back up Xero with Control-C because it’s easy, cost-effective, and reliable.”
Andrew Millington, The Accounting Hub Ltd
“Xero requires you to maintain your own backup. Control-C makes that effortless—satisfying both Xero’s and IRD’s data-retention requirements.”
