Keep the paperwork of an Australian small business in one place, from the phone in your pocket. GST, BAS and the ATO’s rules are built in.
Records captured as things happen, sorted the way BAS and the tax return ask for them, and shared live with your accountant.
For business owners
Capture it as it happens
Photograph a receipt, upload or paste a picture or PDF, share one from email on Android, or forward it to your business’s own email-in address. AI-powered reading fills in the date, business, ABN, total and GST for you to check. Log a trip from the car, and import your bank statement: lines you already have are skipped.
Sort in minutes, not weekends
Bank lines come grouped by merchant, ten groups at a time, biggest first. One choice files a whole group once you’ve checked its lines; tick Remember and the next statement sorts those itself. You see how far you’ve got, and can undo a slip.
Ready for BAS and tax time
Say once whether you’re registered for GST and how often you lodge. Each BAS period then shows its figures and due date, and Home reminds you when one is close. Income and expenses are laid out the way the tax return asks, part-private costs are claimed at their business share, and equipment is depreciated for you.
From enquiry to paid
Take down a job request with the customer’s details and a sketch or photos. Send a quote with the sketch on it. When they accept, signing on the tablet if you like, invoice a deposit, progress payments and the balance, each worked out from the quote.
Your accountant sees it live
Give your accountant or bookkeeper their own sign-in, read only or able to make changes, area by area. There’s nothing to email. Every list exports to Excel, a year-end pack puts the year’s figures and receipts in one download, and everything exports at once as one ZIP.
The list you’d lose on paper
A task list of your own beside the books: type a line, press Enter, tick it off. Give it a project, a due date or a job, drag it into order, and hand one to whoever shares the account. It goes in and out as todo.txt, so it isn’t locked in here.
Your records, locked down
Sign in with a passkey, your phone’s face, fingerprint or PIN, and turn on two-factor authentication (MFA) so a password on its own isn’t enough. Signing out ends only the device you’re on; changing your password signs out the rest. Invoices go out from our own address with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so forged mail can be recognised.
Made for busy heads
One next step at a time, and everything saves as you go. A typeface where numbers can’t be misread, calm colours if bright screens tire you, and compact or roomy lists. Rather see it than read it? Money shows the year as pictures. Help is behind every page’s question mark, and with no signal the app still opens.
Everything it does
Expenses: receipts and bills
- Photograph a receipt, upload a picture, add a PDF, or paste a screenshot or PDF. AI-powered reading fills in the details for you to check.
- On Android, share a PDF or photo from email or another app straight to a new receipt.
- Forward receipts and bills to your own email-in address, which starts with your business name, or give it to suppliers. PDFs, photos and emails that are the receipt all work.
- Everything that arrives by email, or was added with no signal, waits in To check, read and ready: nothing is filed until you say. Senders are checked, and a bill giving bank details says to check them.
- No signal? Add receipts anyway. They wait on the phone and go to To check when it’s back.
- A receipt in another currency keeps its own price and what it cost in AUD, from its bank line with the overseas fee, or from your bank app.
- Crop out the background before saving, so the record shows the receipt and nothing else.
- The ABN is checked against the Australian Business Register, which shows the registered name.
- File each receipt under a category and a job. Starter categories for trades, cleaning, creative and professional work, and a “What you sell” pack for income, come already matched to the tax return and GST.
- Flag receipts that need more work, with a note saying what.
- Turn a saved receipt’s photo upright with the rotate buttons.
- Receipts are listed a month at a time, and export to Excel.
- Every change is kept: see who changed a receipt, what, and when, even after it’s deleted.
- A warning before saving a receipt that looks like one already saved, so nothing is claimed twice.
- Add equipment to the asset register straight from its receipt.
Bank & cash
- Import any bank’s statement: CSV, Excel, OFX, QIF or PDF. Importing the same file again adds only the new lines.
- Several accounts? Name each one, and work on one at a time. A file is recognised next time and offers the same account.
- Cash taken or spent is recorded from your phone in three taps, in an account called Cash, and behaves like any other line, receipt and all. Its categories follow the way the money went, and a Cash switch on Categories chooses which are offered. It works with no signal.
- No bank statement needed: receipts, invoices and cash work on their own, and a statement added later takes the place of what you typed, so nothing is counted twice.
- Record money moved between your own accounts, banking the takings or into savings, in one go. Moves found in statements are offered as a pair to confirm.
- International transaction fees are paired with the purchase they belong to and take its category, or are personal with it.
- Classify in groups, and tick Remember to make a choice a rule for the next import. A new place comes with a smart suggestion when your bank’s own label for it (Fuel, say) is one you already file the same way, and it’s always yours to check.
- Sorting a line offers your recent categories first, then “Also 3 more from Bunnings” shows the rest from that merchant to check and files them the same way.
- Regular payments like rent and subscriptions are spotted from your bank lines and shown under Coming up on Home. Ones due every three months are added to what to put away. Once confirmed, new lines from them are filed as they’re imported.
- See who changed each line, and when.
- Smart matching pairs receipts with the bank lines that paid them, including ones in another currency. Link any line to a job or the invoice it paid.
- Mark personal purchases made on the business account. They stay out of the business figures.
- Lines are grouped by month, with money in and out for each.
- Add a purchase to the asset register from its line.
Tax
- Tax settings: GST registration and from when, how often you lodge BAS, business structure and main activity.
- Dates follow your business’s own timezone, so “today” is your today, wherever your accountant is.
- Each financial year by tax return item, with the categories behind each figure.
- GST for each BAS period, monthly, quarterly or yearly, with its due date.
- A business-use share for part-private costs, such as a phone, applied to the cost and its GST.
- Record each BAS as lodged. Its period is then locked, so the figures you lodged stay put.
- Year-end details: opening and closing stock, what customers and suppliers owed, and payments to associated persons.
- A working-from-home log, filled in from your usual week and confirmed each month.
- Home shows roughly what to put aside for the BAS so far, from what’s sorted.
- Bills still to pay count once they’re paid, the way the cash basis asks.
- A check that each bank account’s lines follow on without a gap, with opening and closing balances.
- The whole year exports to one Excel workbook.
- A year-end pack for your accountant: the figures, a ledger of every line, and every receipt, in one download.
Jobs
- Keep each job’s dates, quote, description, photos and sketches together.
- Draw plans and sketches with a stylus or finger, over a photo or a grid.
- See what a job has cost and earned against its quote.
- One New job, with a quote first when it needs one. Requests are listed apart from work that’s on.
- Mark a job done, then invoice it in one tap: from its accepted quote, or a new invoice.
Assets
- A register of your equipment, with the receipt and bank line that paid for it found by smart matching, and filed as equipment so it isn’t claimed twice.
- Sold? Link the money that came in, found for you when only one line fits, and see which receipt it was sold on.
- Find an item by name, barcode or NFC tag, and add dated photos of its condition.
- Each year’s depreciation under the small business rules, included on the Tax page.
- A big one-off purchase filed as an expense is flagged on the Tax page in case it’s really equipment.
- Reminders for servicing, test and tag and warranties, each on its own repeat, shown on Home a month before.
Vehicles
- A logbook for each vehicle. Photograph the odometer and AI reads it for you, on our own server.
- Other drivers log trips with their own sign-in, a QR code in the car, or its registration and PIN.
- A 12-week logbook sets business use for five years, and only that share of the vehicle’s costs is claimed.
- Reminders for registration, insurance and servicing, shown on Home a month before.
Sales: quotes, invoices and receipts
- Build an invoice with GST worked out as you type, in your layout with your logo and payment details.
- Preview it, then issue it: it gets its number and is locked, so what the customer received never changes. With their email address on it, it’s emailed as it’s issued.
- Invoices, receipts and quotes go out in your own wording for each, with replies coming to you. Mark an invoice paid by linking the payment on the Bank & cash page, or recording it.
- Quote with the same lines and layout as your invoices, with the job’s sketches and photos on it.
- Mark a quote accepted, with the customer’s signature if you like, then invoice a deposit, progress payments and the balance.
- See what you’re owed on Home, and send a reminder already written, from your own email.
- Give a receipt for a sale already paid, in cash, by card or both, numbered in its own series. A sale on the spot needs no name, and the money goes straight into Cash or the bank as income.
- Start typing an address and pick it from a list, on contacts, invoices, quotes and jobs.
- Record a payment from the invoice, and Find it in Bank & cash shows money in of exactly what’s still owed.
- Paid in stages? Give a receipt for each payment on an invoice, a deposit, progress and the final payment, each showing what’s still owed. Paid in full, download the invoice as a receipt.
- Money earned and not billed yet, a draft, an accepted quote or a finished job, waits in Ready to bill on Home.
Tasks
- Your own list, private to you, beside the books. Type it, press Enter, tick it off. A short title for the list, with notes behind it.
- Projects of your own naming, with colours, and every open job on the same list.
- Priorities, start and due dates, and drag into the order you’ll do them, between Active and Later.
- Hand a task to anyone who shares the account. They see who it came from and can hand it back.
- Import and export todo.txt, which other to-do apps read and write.
- Write and tick off tasks with no signal: they wait on the phone and are sent when it’s back.
- A scratchpad for anything that isn’t a task yet, and the next few tasks on Home.
Money
- The year so far in three figures: money in, money out, and what’s left over.
- Month by month, money in above the line and money out below it, with a mark under each month for whether it ended ahead or behind.
- Where the spending goes: the biggest categories as bars, counted as the Tax page counts them.
- The next three months: bills, regular payments, reminders and the BAS going out, against what customers owe.
- A “this month so far” card on Home, one tap from the whole picture.
- Every chart can be read as a table instead.
Signing in
- Several named authenticators, so a lost phone isn’t a locked door.
- A device with a passkey offers it as soon as you tap the email box.
- A two-step code sends itself once it’s typed.
Every day
- Reminders for the things that lapse quietly, like a registration, a domain name or a fire inspection, on Home a month before.
- What to put away each month for the ones that cost money.
- A small question mark beside anything that needs explaining opens help at the right place, with pictures and steps.
- Ask the help a question in your own words: AI-powered search, run on our own server.
- With no signal: add a receipt, record cash, write a task, and they’re sent when you’re back on.
- Works on what you have. Phone, tablet or computer, in the browser. Add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
- Help where you need it. Every page has its own help behind the question mark at the top, and the guide walks through the main jobs.
- Private by default. Receipt images are kept on our own server, not a public file host, and each account’s records are visible only to the people it’s shared with.
For accountants and bookkeepers
One sign-in, every client
Clients add you by the email you sign in with, and choose read only or changes for each area. Switch between clients from Home; you work in one at a time.
Figures laid out as the return and BAS ask
Income and expenses by business and professional items label, with the categories behind each figure. GST by BAS period at G1, 1A and 1B. Credits backed by a receipt or tax invoice are kept apart from 1/11 estimates, so you can see what’s evidenced. Counted on a cash basis, and it says so.
Completeness you can check
Each account’s running balance is followed day by day.
- A gap or a doubled line is flagged with its dates and amount, and opening and closing balances are shown to tie to the statement.
- Unclassified lines and unmapped categories are listed, never guessed.
- A receipt in another currency counts at what it cost in AUD, from its bank line or as entered; until that’s known it’s listed, never estimated into a figure.
- Cash is recorded in an account of its own, and money moved between the client’s accounts is paired, so it isn’t counted as income or spending.
The judgement calls, visible
Business-use shares by category, vehicle business use from a 12-week logbook, small business pool depreciation, and opening and closing stock adjusting cost of sales. Trade debtors come with the invoices unpaid at year end as a guide. Each shows where it applies.
The evidence behind a figure
Receipts are linked to the bank lines that paid them, with the image kept and the ABN checked against the Australian Business Register.
- Receipts and bills that came in by email keep who sent them and whether the sender’s email was verified.
- Invoices are locked once issued, and those made from a quote point back to it, with the customer’s acceptance.
- Every change to a receipt, bank line, invoice, asset or lodged BAS is kept with who made it and when, and can’t be edited or removed.
- Everything exports to Excel, including a tax workbook with the same figures as the page.
Your client’s records stay theirs
Access is per client and per area, and the owner can change or remove it at any time.
- The owner can see who was given access, changed or removed, and when.
- What you can’t see isn’t counted in silently: the page says what’s left out.
- Everything exports as one ZIP, spreadsheets with the photos and PDFs, whenever the owner wants it.
