Client Context

Accounting practice and finance team: invoices, receipts, bank transactions and reporting

An accounting practice and finance team processing large volumes of invoices, receipts, bank transactions and financial documents.

Data was spread across accounting software, email and spreadsheets, which made errors harder to find and financial insight slower to produce.

The Challenge

What needed to change

Manual data entry, transaction classification, reconciliation and client follow-ups created a substantial administrative workload, particularly during month-end reporting and BAS preparation.

With data in several places, identifying errors and producing timely financial insights was difficult.

The Solution

What we built

An AI-assisted accounting automation platform, integrated with the existing Xero and MYOB accounting systems. Document intelligence extracts information from financial records, AI supports categorisation, exception detection and reconciliation, and accounting staff retain approval over financial records.

Transaction categorisation

Document intelligence reads each record, and AI suggests how transactions are categorised.

Exceptions are flagged

Unmatched transactions, missing documents and potential discrepancies go to a review queue.

4

Accountants approve

Accounting staff review and approve before anything is final in Xero or MYOB.

5

Insights for advice

The analysis assistant highlights unusual movements and drafts management commentary for review.
