The honest version

BAS season eats your weekends. Receipts pile up. Client comms slip through the cracks. Junior staff turnover means rebuilding processes every 18 months.

01

BAS prep automation

AI reads bank feeds and Xero data, drafts BAS in your format, flags exceptions for review. Time per BAS down from 6-14 hours to 30-90 minutes.

02

Receipt + invoice triage

Forwarded receipts get categorised, GST extracted, attached to the right Xero transaction. Zero manual data entry.

03

Client query inbox

AI drafts replies to "What's my GST balance?" and "Can I claim this?" using your client's actual data. You review and send.

04

Year-end follow-ups

AI tracks which clients still owe info, drafts personalised follow-up emails in your voice, escalates only the unresponsive.

05

New client onboarding

AI fills the engagement letter, generates the data request list specific to their business, sends the welcome sequence. You meet them ready.

What this looks like in practice

Real example.

A 3-partner Brisbane firm cut BAS time from 11h average to 1h45 per client. Net effect: capacity for 40 more clients without hiring.

Common questions

AI for accountants, answered.

Can AI actually handle BAS prep and bookkeeping admin?

Yes, for the repetitive parts. TurnkeyAI deploys an autonomous AI agent that handles BAS data gathering, receipt and invoice triage, client query responses, deadline reminders, and year-end follow-ups. It works inside your existing tools and only escalates the judgment calls to you. The agent runs the routine work; the accountant signs off the lodgement.

How much time can an accounting practice save?

Most practitioners save 12 to 18 hours a week. Across 50+ Australian SME deployments, the average client saves $1,000 to $2,000 per week in time and recovers it within roughly three weeks. The biggest gains come from automating client inbox triage and chasing outstanding information, the work that interrupts everyone all day.

Does it integrate with Xero, MYOB, and Karbon?

Yes. The agent connects to the tools you already run, including Xero, MYOB, Karbon, Microsoft 365, Gmail, and Slack. You operate it in plain English over Slack or Telegram. No new software for your team to learn, and no migration off your current stack.

How long until it's running, and what does it cost?

A$1,500 + GST setup, then A$300 + GST per month. Mac mini included. AI subscriptions, API usage and other third-party charges are additional and paid by you. Scope and support allowance agreed before setup.

Where does my client data live, and is it secure?

On your own hardware. Your data, logs, and integration credentials stay on your Mac Mini or your dedicated VPS, not a shared cloud. The agent sends prompts to Anthropic's Claude API to run the model; Anthropic does not train on API data. Sensitive actions wait for your one-tap approval. Full detail is in our AI agent security guide.
