Transactions made on the OFX platform will automatically sync to Xero see FAQ “How does the Xero Integration work?” on details of this process. To monitor that the balances are keeping in sync you can utilise the following reconciliation tools. 

Expected Xero Balance Widget: This will show you the acceptable balance difference between the accounts that will still mean that the accounts are in sync. If the calculated balance is different to Xero then there may be some failed syncs.

Sync Errors Log: This screen will show you of any failed sync and the reason for the failure. If there are payments or conversion failures in the log these amounts will have been deducted from your OFX account but not your Xero account and will be causing a permanent difference until resolved.

Remaining differences could related to additions in Xero that do not exist in OFX. We recommend to not manually add any transactions into the Xero side unless you are very confident that it is required to get the account bank in balance.
