What It Does

A complete backup of your practice’s operating heartbeat.

Control-C continuously saves every piece of operational data inside XPM, everything your team relies on to deliver work, manage clients, and stay compliant.

  • What this means:
  • Every job, task, milestone, and note is preserved exactly as entered.
  • Every attachment stays linked to the right client or job.
  • Every timesheet or staff update remains recoverable.
  • If something changes or goes missing, you still have the original.
  • Coverage:
  • Clients, contacts, job records, tasks, milestones.
  • Time entries, staff records, billing details.
  • Attachments, correspondence, job notes.
  • History and data Xero’s native exports don’t fully capture.
  • The outcome:
  • A permanent audit trail for your firm. You gain a trustworthy operational record and the absolute certainty that you can verify every action and timeline if a client or regulator ever asks.

Full Job & Client History

Professional-grade records, automatically ready for review.

To meet professional standards, you need more than just today's numbers. Control-C maintains a day-by-day history of your jobs and clients, so you can show exactly what happened.

  • What we preserve:
  • Original job definitions and task lists.
  • All historical notes and staff comments.
  • Prior versions of time entries.
  • Attachments and correspondence as they existed then.
  • A dated snapshot of each job and client record.
  • The outcome:
  • Full accountability for your firm, giving you clear evidence of the scope and delivery required to satisfy regulators and protect your reputation in any dispute.

Attachments, Notes & Correspondence

The context behind your work: kept exactly as it was.

XPM is not just data; it’s the narrative behind every engagement. Control-C preserves that context so it can never be lost or overwritten.

  • We keep:
  • PDFs, spreadsheets, letters, client documents.
  • Uploaded emails and meeting notes.
  • Staff comments and status updates.
  • All attachments tied to their original job or client.
  • The outcome:
  • No loss of supporting evidence: protecting compliance, professional standards, and client trust.

Role-Aware Protection

Permission-sensitive backups that preserve your access model.

Your staff have different roles, and so does your data. Control-C respects that.

  • Backups honour XPM roles and visibility rules; sensitive data stays appropriately restricted.
  • Recovery access is controlled and auditable.
  • Create temporary auditor access without exposing full practice data.
  • Outcome: backup that fits your practice’s control model, not a one-size-fits-all export.

Operational Resilience

Deliver advisory work without interruption.

When XPM is unavailable or compromised, Control-C keeps your workflows moving.

  • Secure read-only access during outages.
  • Rebuild tasks, milestones, or notes from a specific date.
  • Export job data or client lists in open formats.
  • Provide auditors with quick, clean evidence packs.
  • Support migrations, investigations, and client takeovers.
  • Outcome: your practice remains productive, responsive, and compliant, even if XPM has issues.
