Compliance automation for accounting and bookkeeping

In short

A compliance automation for a accounting business tackles one specific leak: bAS, STP finalisation, tax and instalment due dates for every client are tracked on a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember. Miss one and the client wears an ATO penalty and interest charge, and the blame lands on you. You usually find out a deadline slipped at the worst possible time, after it has passed. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

BAS, STP finalisation, tax and instalment due dates for every client are tracked on a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember. Miss one and the client wears an ATO penalty and interest charge, and the blame lands on you. You usually find out a deadline slipped at the worst possible time, after it has passed.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a accounting business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a accounting business leaks margin on the accounting industry page.

What Bamco builds

A compliance platform that watches every client's lodgement obligations against their due dates and your workflow, and flags what is coming due before it is late. It tracks BAS, STP finalisation, tax and instalment dates, chases the client automatically for the documents a lodgement needs, and alerts the responsible bookkeeper with the full context. It works alongside what you run in Karbon or Ignition, so deadlines are monitored continuously rather than reconstructed from a spreadsheet in a panic.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From week one you can see, at a glance, which clients are on track for the next BAS round and which are at risk, across your whole book, instead of trusting a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember.

Month three. By month three the automated chasing and tracking have closed most of the gaps that used to sit open, a missed lodgement is the rare exception rather than a quarterly scare, and the run-up to a deadline becomes a report you run rather than a scramble.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built compliance automation for a accounting business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Does it work with our practice management system?
Yes. It is built to work alongside tools like Karbon and Ignition, watching each client's BAS, STP, tax and instalment dates against their obligations and your workflow, and chasing the client automatically for what a lodgement needs before a deadline is missed rather than after.
Will it work with the tools our accounting business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The compliance automation connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
