Managed AI for accountants
AI for accountants that chases documents and gets BAS files ready
Clients upload late, documents arrive half-complete, and deadlines do not move.
Mia chases missing items and prepares the BAS or close review queue.
Accountants keep judgment. Admin stops eating the week.
Send the client chase that repeats every week. Mia maps the first document-request and escalation loop.

Workday pressure
Start with what your team already says.
They say: the client still has not sent the documents.
Answer the deadline pressure first.
Workday sentence
They say: client documents arrive late and incomplete, chasing missing documents before bas lodgement.
Answer that pressure first.
Where it gets stuck
Client documents arrive late and incomplete: Bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll records, and signed forms drip in across email and portals.
The practice spends the week asking the same client for the same missing item.
What cannot go wrong
Accounting firms that want to replace their team with a chatbot or unsupervised automation.
What stays human
No lodgement or coding judgment without approval: Anything involving BAS readiness, tax position, invoice coding, rebates, PAYG advice, or payment terms waits for accountant or partner sign-off.
First useful version
Missing client documents are chased with context before BAS or close-prep work stalls.
Work first
What changes when this work gets handled.
The question is simple.
Can this work be cleared with less cost, less waiting, fewer misses, and less manager attention?
Work to clear
What your team gets back
Missing client documents are chased with context before BAS or close-prep work stalls.
Impact
Why it is worth doing
To first missing-document chases, exception lists, or BAS-ready review packs.
Current cost
What it costs now
Bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll records, and signed forms drip in across email and portals.
The practice spends the week asking the same client for the same missing item.
Human approval
Where people stay in charge
No lodgement or coding judgment without approval: Anything involving BAS readiness, tax position, invoice coding, rebates, PAYG advice, or payment terms waits for accountant or partner sign-off.
What it costs now
The pressure this result removes.
- 01
Client documents arrive late and incomplete
Bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll records, and signed forms drip in across email and portals.
The practice spends the week asking the same client for the same missing item.
- 02
Bank-rec exceptions block the close
The ledger needs review, but the exceptions are not cleanly grouped.
Staff move between Xero, email, notes, and spreadsheets before the accountant can decide what matters.
- 03
BAS and month-end deadlines do not move
The due date is fixed, but the source data is not.
The team loses review time because the chase-and-prep work starts too late.
Result after week one
Get BAS and close files ready before the deadline.
The outcome is an accounting practice where missing documents, reconciliation exceptions, and invoice-coding questions arrive as a review queue instead of a deadline scramble.
Client chases draft from the checklist
The AI compares each client file against the BAS or close checklist and drafts the exact missing-document request.
Exceptions are grouped before review
Bank-rec issues, unclear receipts, and duplicate invoices arrive with source links so staff review decisions, not raw inboxes.
Lodgement judgment stays human
Accountants, bookkeepers, or BAS agents approve coding, readiness, and client messages before anything leaves the practice.
How the work gets cleared
AI for accountants works best when it owns the document-chase and review-prep work before accounting judgment begins.
A managed AI employee watches client uploads, email threads, bank-rec exceptions, invoice images, and due-date checklists; drafts missing-document chases; prepares exception queues; and assembles the BAS or close-prep pack.
The accountant, bookkeeper, or BAS agent approves coding, lodgement status, and client-facing messages.

See the bounded document-chase, bank-rec exception, invoice-coding, and BAS-ready review-pack workflow that should go live before broader practice automation.
Use this when the blocker is supplier invoices, approval packets, duplicate checks, and finance controls rather than client document collection.
Work in motion
What it looks like when the work is moving.
Three week-one outputs. Drafted for review before send.
EXAMPLE · 01
Chasing missing documents before BAS lodgement
The employee identifies missing statements, invoices, and receipts, drafts a friendly reminder with the deadline, and flags the client if it is the third request.
EXAMPLE · 02
Preparing the review queue
Bank-rec exceptions and unclear invoice coding are grouped by client, urgency, and source so the bookkeeper reviews decisions instead of rebuilding context.
EXAMPLE · 03
BAS-ready close pack
Before the BAS deadline, the AI prepares outstanding blockers, completed checks, and client communication history so the BAS agent can approve or escalate.
48-hour build
What ships in the first window.
01
Client document chase queue
The AI employee compares the current client file against the BAS, tax, or close checklist, drafts missing-document requests, sends reviewable reminder sequences, and escalates repeated non-response.
02
Bank-rec and invoice exception prep
Bank-rec exceptions, suspicious coding, duplicate invoices, and unclear receipts are grouped into a review queue with source links.
03
BAS or close-prep pack
Outstanding blockers, reconciled items, draft notes, client follow-ups, and source links are assembled into a BAS or close pack before the accountant reviews.
04
Compliance inbox monitor
ATO notices, amendments, and regulatory correspondence are flagged immediately and summarised for partner review.
Human control
The employee prepares the work. People keep judgment.
No lodgement or coding judgment without approval
Anything involving BAS readiness, tax position, invoice coding, rebates, PAYG advice, or payment terms waits for accountant or partner sign-off.
Edge cases route clearly
Missing information, conflicting records, or unusual requests go to the partner with context already attached, not silent retries.
The playbook is written down
Rules for what emails get a draft, what gets escalated, and what examples the AI should follow are documented so the team audits the system behaviour.
Do not start here if
- Accounting firms that want to replace their team with a chatbot or unsupervised automation.
- Partners looking for self-serve AI tools they need to configure and tune themselves.
- Practices where client communication is not a documented, repeatable workflow.
A good first week looks like
- Missing client documents are chased with context before BAS or close-prep work stalls.
- Bank-rec exceptions and invoice-coding checks arrive as a review queue, not a raw pile.
- The accountant or BAS agent approves lodgement readiness and client communication, so judgment stays in house.
Controls that make this safe to run.
Accounting AI is most saleable when it removes chase-and-prep work before BAS, tax, or month-end review, while keeping accountant sign-off on judgment.
Safeguards we design around
- Accountant or BAS agent approves coding, lodgement readiness, and tax-sensitive client messages.
- Client chases and exception queues link back to the source document, email, ledger item, or checklist.
- Unusual transactions, missing evidence, and conflicting records route for human review.
Claim boundary
We do not claim autonomous BAS lodgement, tax advice, or replacement of accountant judgment.

Work scorecard
Before you hire for it, send us the stuck work.
Mia checks the cost, risk, what needs sign-off, and whether an AI employee can clear the first version.
If this is cheaper or safer with a person, the scorecard says that.
WORK + APPROVAL SCORECARD
A short check for cost, speed, quality, risk, and the first safe version.
Work
What keeps piling up?
Replies, reports, checks, handoffs, document chases, approvals, or follow-up that keeps coming back.
Cost
What does it cost now?
Staff time, manager attention, customer wait time, rework, missed follow-ups, or lost revenue.
Quality
What would make it useful?
Better drafts, faster turnaround, fewer errors, cleaner handoffs, and less chasing from managers.
Control
What still needs human approval?
Customer promises, pricing, refunds, legal language, financial decisions, or anything that can damage trust.
Output: work to clear, current cost, what needs sign-off, pricing options, and the smallest useful test.
