FreshBooks and Xero integration

FreshBooks and Xero, kept in step both ways

CRM Connector syncs FreshBooks and Xero both ways: contacts, invoices with their payments, and FreshBooks estimates with Xero quotes stay the same in both. It fits a team that invoices in FreshBooks while the accountant works in Xero, or a move from one to the other.
