Three months of bookkeeping in deadline week.
Your clients sit on their receipts until the BAS is due, then the shoebox arrives. Every quarter, the same marathon.
Quarterhand reads your clients’ receipts and invoices — every line item — straight into Xero, chases what’s missing, drafts your BAS workpapers, and gets your clients’ overdue invoices paid. You review, you sign, you lodge.
Payday Super starts 1 July. The ATO clearing house closes 30 June. Your payroll clients are about to need you weekly — see how Quarterhand keeps every pay run watched →
Works with
Your clients sit on their receipts until the BAS is due, then the shoebox arrives. Every quarter, the same marathon.
“Just following up…” — to clients about their receipts, and for clients about their unpaid invoices. The chasing never ends, it isn’t bookkeeping, and it makes everyone the bad guy.
Line-item extraction was Hubdoc’s most-requested feature for years — 220 votes, marked “not in pipeline.” So every multi-line invoice still gets keyed by hand, line by line, by you.
Quarterly super checks become weekly monitoring across every payroll client — with automatic ATO penalties and no offset when a payment lands late. The buffer is gone.
Extract
Every client gets their own Quarterhand address the moment you join — they forward or snap, and every line item is read, GST-classified and matched to your Xero accounts with the source document attached. If it’s not sure, it asks. It never guesses.
In development: supplier auto-fetch — the feature Hubdoc gave up on.

Received — no app, no login for the client
Chase
Quarterhand can see the books, so it knows exactly what’s missing — the receipt that isn’t there, the $840 at Bunnings nobody can code. It chases by email and SMS in your name, stops the moment the client answers, and the answer lands in the ledger, not a spreadsheet.

Draft
The quarterly artefact no tool builds for BAS agents: GST reconciliation, an exceptions register, and every figure linked to its source document — assembled for you, ready to review, adjust and sign. Built for the TPB-registered professional who carries the liability, not for year-end tax teams.
Workpapers drafted
| GST on sales (1A) | $4,210.00 |
| GST on purchases (1B) | $1,876.40 |
| Net GST to pay | $2,333.60 |
2 exceptions flagged · every figure linked to its source
Watch
Every client’s BAS, IAS and STP dates tracked with reminders that go out before the deadline, not after. Forward your ATO mail and it comes back sorted, TFNs redacted, client explanation drafted — one click to approve and send.

Guard
From 1 July, super is due every payday — and the government clearing house closes 30 June. Quarterhand watches the payroll side across your whole client base: pay runs missing their super batch, clients still on quarterly cycles, migrations not yet done — flagged while there’s still time to act.

Collect
Nearly half of Australian invoices are paid late, and a late-paid invoice can now mean a missed super deadline. Quarterhand sends polite, persistent reminders with a payment link — in your client’s own name, on their authority — and shows you which client needs cash before their obligations land. A new service line for your practice.

“I build automation systems for small Australian businesses. I kept watching bookkeeping practices hand-key invoice lines because their capture tool only reads the header — a feature they’d been requesting for years, marked ‘not in pipeline.’ So I’m building it, with practising BAS agents shaping every screen. If you want a say in what gets built next, the Founding Practices program is open.”

One flat price for the practice. Not a meter on every client. Not a tax on every seat.
Extra SMS beyond your allowance: 15¢ each, billed monthly — no surprises, and you can cap it.
Fair use on documents means what it sounds like: normal practice volumes are never metered. If a client forwards their entire email history, we’ll talk.
Grown past your tier? Upgrades are pro-rata and instant — your clients never notice.
Forwarding an email or snapping a photo will always be enough — that’s a promise we’ve already made, and it stands. But for clients who want it even easier, we’re building a small companion app: point the camera at a receipt at the counter and it’s in your queue before they’ve left the shop. Your questions — “what was this $840 at Bunnings?” — arrive as a gentle notification and get answered with one tap. Reminders arrive quietly on their phone instead of cluttering their messages.
What it means for your practice: paperwork captured the day it happens instead of the week the BAS is due, questions answered in hours instead of weeks, and fewer chases needed at all. And for practices that want it, a version carrying your own name and logo is on the drawing board — your practice, on your clients’ home screen.
Snap. Camera to queue in one tap — coded, evidence attached, done.
Answer. Your client questions, one tap to resolve, straight back into the books.
Settled. Reminders and payment links, quietly, on their phone — in your client’s name.
In development with our founding practices. No download required — ever — for clients who prefer email and photos.
Built in the open with our founding practices — each of these ships when it’s ready, not before.
