Xero and MYOB workflow automation for accountants, bookkeepers and fractional CFOs
Written by Autonome. Updated 5 November 2026.
How do accounting practices automate client bills in Xero and MYOB?
Start with the shared inbox, because that's where the hours go. Bills land in accounts@, someone keys them into Xero or MYOB, and GST charged by an unregistered supplier turns up at BAS time, when it's hardest to fix. Autonome reads each bill, checks the supplier's ABN and GST registration with the Australian Business Register, and queues a draft for your team to approve.
We kept each client separate from the start, because a practice's whole reputation rests on it. Every client company gets its own workspace, connected to its own Xero or MYOB file. You build a Gadget once and set it up for each client, and your own practice's jobs and deadlines can sit on a Kanban Board in your workspace.
- GST problems flagged before they reach the BAS.
- Each client in its own workspace, on its own ledger.
| Workflow | Gadget | What the practice still does |
|---|---|---|
| accounts@ supplier bills | Supplier Invoice & ABN Triage | Approves each draft bill |
| GST registration checks | Live ABR lookup inside the triage Gadget | Approves the query email to the supplier |
| Client jobs and deadlines | Kanban Board | Moves cards, assigns staff, sets due dates |
| Procedures for each client | Company Wiki & SOP Hub | Keeps the steps current |
One Gadget, many clients
Build a Gadget once for your own practice, then set it up in a client's workspace, connected to that client's Xero or MYOB file. Each client company keeps its own workspace and its own app connections. See the bookkeeping use case, or send a supplier bill to Xero or MYOB with the ABN checked.
Questions
Does it lodge BAS?
No. Autonome prepares and checks the bills that feed your BAS. Lodgement stays with you.
Can it handle both Xero and MYOB clients?
Yes. Each workspace connects to the ledger that client uses, and drafts go to that ledger after approval.
