Everything you need

One workspace for your whole financial operation

Accountants.Contact replaces a stack of disconnected tools with a single double-entry system — every invoice, payment and pay run flows straight to your reports and BAS.

🧾

Invoicing & quotes

Professional invoices and quotes, part-payments, credit notes and automatic overdue tracking.

🏦

Bank reconciliation

Import statements (CSV/OFX), match with rules and reconcile in a click. Cash always tied to the ledger.

GST & BAS

GST tracked on every transaction with a one-screen Activity Statement — G1, 1A, 1B, W1, W2 computed for you.

💵

Payroll & STP Phase 2

Pay runs, payslips, PAYG withholding, superannuation and leave. Pay events are built to the ATO's STP Phase 2 schema and lodged through a sending service provider you connect. Requires an SSP connection.

🤖

AI receipt scanning

Photograph a receipt or drop in a PDF — supplier, lines, GST and totals are read for you, and the original stays attached to the transaction for audit.

Time tracking

Weekly timesheets against customers and jobs. Bill approved time straight onto an invoice, or pull it into a pay run.

📦

Inventory

Track stock on hand, average cost and cost of goods sold automatically as you buy and sell.

🏗

Fixed assets

Asset register with straight-line and diminishing-value depreciation posted straight to the ledger.

📈

Real-time reports

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Cash Flow, Aged Receivables/Payables and full General Ledger.

🧑‍💼

Contractors & TPAR

Flag contractors, track what you paid them and produce the Taxable Payments Annual Report from your posted payments.

👥

Multi-user & roles

Invite your team and your accountant with role-based access — owner, admin, accountant, staff or read-only.

Import & export

Bring your contacts, accounts and transactions across by CSV, connect WooCommerce, and export your data any time.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this a real double-entry accounting system?

Yes. Every transaction — invoices, bills, payments, pay runs, depreciation and manual journals — posts a balanced journal to a full general ledger. Your Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet are computed directly from the ledger, the same way any professional accounting system works.

Does it handle GST and BAS?

GST is tracked on every line using Australian tax codes. The BAS screen computes G1, 1A, 1B, W1 and W2 from your posted transactions so your activity statement is ready to review. Electronic lodgement to the ATO via SBR is on our roadmap.

Can it run payroll with Single Touch Payroll?

Employees, pay runs, payslips, PAYG withholding, superannuation, leave and timesheets are built in. Each pay run produces a pay event built to the ATO's STP Phase 2 (PAYEVNT.0004) schema, which is lodged through a sending service provider you connect — or exported if you lodge another way. You'll need an SSP to transmit.

Can it read my receipts and bills?

Photograph a receipt or upload a PDF and the supplier, line items, GST and totals are read out for you and turned into a draft bill, expense or sales receipt for you to check. The original file stays attached to the transaction, so you can open the source document from the ledger at any time.

Can I move my data across from other accounting software?

Yes — import contacts, chart of accounts and transactions by CSV, and export your data at any time. You're never locked in.

Who can I give access to?

Invite unlimited team members and your accountant with role-based permissions: owner, admin, accountant, staff and read-only. Accountants and bookkeepers can hold many client businesses under one login and switch between them, with a different role in each.

Your books, sorted.
