Separate to our accounting system (Xero), we plan to upload this data to our client CRM (Airtable) and ensure it’s applied to the relevant client accounts. The data is messy, with lots of formatting inconsistencies in it, and certain line items are grouped payments from which representing multiple client payments lumped into one payout.
