You trained to do the books, not chase receipts.
The data should arrive clean. With Budgetly, it does. Staff capture receipts at the point of purchase, AI codes every transaction with merchant, category, and GST, and everything syncs natively to Xero. You review exceptions instead of entering data. Month-end stops being a reconstruction project. You get back to the work you trained for.

Australia's favourite.
99% of businesses stick with Budgetly.
The data should arrive clean. It doesn't. And you're the one who pays for it.
Every misclassified transaction, every missing receipt, every late reimbursement — it all lands on your desk. You spend 80% of your time fixing other people's mistakes and 20% doing actual bookkeeping. Bank feeds give you 'VISA PURCHASE' and an amount. Nothing else. You manually code, manually chase, manually match. Every month.
The old way
- Bank feeds give amount and 'VISA PURCHASE.' No merchant, no category, no receipt.
- 47 emails to 47 employees for 47 missing receipts. Every. Single. Month.
- Shared cards make attribution impossible — who spent what?
- Personal credit card reimbursement claims arriving weeks late
- Multiple versions of the same transaction across spreadsheets
- Month-end takes days because the upstream process is broken
With Budgetly
- Receipts captured at the register, automatically matched to transactions
- Transactions arrive in Xero coded, categorised, and GST-extracted
- Native two-way Xero sync — richer than any bank feed
- Reconciliation in minutes, not days. Review exceptions, not every line.
- Month-end stops being a reconstruction project
- Stop being the person who fixes everyone else's mistakes
- APRA-regulated
- Data stays in Australia
- 2FA + SSL encryption
- AWS Sydney ISO 27001 infrastructure
- Live status
What changes when bookkeepers switch to Budgetly
Stop running on bank feeds and spreadsheets. Run on a system that delivers clean data upstream so you can do the work you're actually trained for.
Receipts captured at the register. GST extracted. Matched to the transaction.

- Receipts captured at point of purchase, not chased weeks later
- Automatic matching to the right transaction, every time
- GST extraction at the line-item level for ATO substantiation
- Real-time alerts when a receipt is missing on a high-value transaction

Shared cards become individual cards. Reimbursements disappear.
When every employee has their own Visa debit card with a budget and a receipt-capture app, three of your worst problems vanish: shared-card reconciliation guesswork, reimbursement claim processing, and personal credit card mismatches. Your finance manager benefits. Your accountant benefits. You benefit most.
- Per-employee, per-team, or per-project cards
- Zero reimbursement claims — staff spend on company cards
- Built-in budgets and merchant rules — out-of-policy declines at the terminal
- Multi-entity support for bookkeepers managing multiple clients
- Cards issued in 30 seconds, frozen in one tap
