The platform

One agent for the whole compliance calendar.

automate.business isn't a tool you operate. It's an AI agent that runs your firm's recurring compliance work end to end. One connected ledger, one trust model, one place where the routine gets done and the judgment stays with you.

Why we built it

Cloud accounting got complex and costly.

The big platforms were built for businesses to run their own books, then invite the accountant in. For firms doing high-volume compliance across simpler entities, that means paying for features clients don't need, and doing the repetitive work by hand anyway.

Legacy cloud accounting

Built business-first; the firm is a guest in each file
Per-seat, per-module pricing that climbs with every client
Automation bolted on after the fact
The preparer still does the categorising and reconciling

automate.business

Firm-first: manage every client from one workspace
One simple price per active client, nothing you don't use
Agentic from day one: the work is done before you look
The agent prepares; you review the exceptions and approve
How the agent works

Does the work. Shows its evidence. Stops at your judgment.

01

It does the routine

Pulls the ledger and bank feed, codes every transaction, reconciles, applies GST treatment and prepares returns, across your whole book, overnight.

02

It shows its work

Every figure traces to its source transactions, every run shows its plan and reasoning, and it tells you, honestly, how confident it is.

03

You keep the final word

Tiered autonomy lets trusted work run itself; anything uncertain or consequential waits for you. Filing with IRD is always a human action.

The roadmap

GST today. The whole calendar next.

We started with GST, the hardest, highest-frequency work. Each new module runs on the same connected ledger and the same review-and-approve trust model, so adopting it costs your team no new habits.

Live now

GST returns Live

Prepare, review, approve and file GST 101s across every client, evidenced and audit-ready.

In build

Bulk coding & firm rules In build

Standalone bulk coding with confidence routing and learned firm-wide rules, extending the categorisation that already runs inside the live GST workflow.

In build

Income & provisional tax In build

IR3, IR4 and company returns, plus provisional tax tracked in step with the GST cycle, from the ledger you've already connected.

Planned

FBT & financial statements Planned

Quarterly FBT and full annual financials, prepared and evidenced for the same approve-and-file gate.

Trust is the product

Powerful automation you can still defend.

Every part of the platform is built for regulated, reputation-critical work. Nothing is a black box, and nothing files without a human.

Evidenced

Every output shows its sources and reasoning.

Honest confidence

Uncertainty is surfaced, never hidden.

Human-gated

Filing with IRD is always a human action.
