Converro by Nimbus review
A broad construction accounting suite for small firms already working in Xero.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Converro by Nimbus is cloud-based construction accounting software for contractors in New Zealand. It brings job costing, invoicing, accounts receivable claims, progress payments, retentions, variations, payroll, general ledger, accounts payable, subcontract administration and project controls into one system. Small firms using Xero are the clearest fit, while the published company-size range also includes mid-market and enterprise organizations. Web access is paired with mobile applications for schedules, inventory, purchase orders and work orders.
Nimbus uses a contact-sales pricing model, with prospects directed to request a demo. That approach suits teams that want a discussion around construction workflows, but it gives buyers no plan-by-plan comparison in the listing. Xero is the named integration, connecting the accounting platform to an existing Xero environment. Support is available through email, chat, phone and documentation, giving finance and project teams several channels for product questions. The cloud and mobile deployment model supports office accounting alongside field updates.
The standout strength is breadth within contractor operations: real-time cost tracking by job, labour-to-job payroll costing, retention and variation handling, subcontract schedules and compliance, budgeting, forecasting and management accounting are covered together. Mobile field access extends that scope beyond the office. Converro is therefore a strong candidate for New Zealand contractors seeking one construction-focused system around Xero. Companies that require a wider integration ecosystem, transparent published tiers or accounting workflows tailored to jurisdictions outside New Zealand should compare alternatives before choosing it.
