Accounting integration

Most small businesses already pay for the software. What they do not have is the software talking to itself, so the same number gets typed into two systems by a person who is being paid to do something else.

What comes out of a session

An accountant in Sydney connected her own Xero organisation, then built an Outlook app that emails her its own reports. The figures stopped being retyped.

A month later she came back with a reconciliation check she had built on her own: the bank transactions out of Xero on one side, a client’s spreadsheet on the other, and a list of what does not match. Three hours of comparing became twenty minutes. That is the shape this usually takes. A session gets the connection working, and the thing that pays for itself turns up afterwards, built by the person who knows what they actually compare.

What it costs

The connection itself is free. You are joining up accounts you already hold, so what you spend is the agent’s time and yours.

What cannot be done

Talking to the Australian Taxation Office directly. It wants a registered digital service provider and a security review, and its portal renders in a way a browser extension cannot read. That thread was ended in the session rather than forced, and it is the honest answer rather than a gap in the tooling.
