Automation for bookkeepers and BAS agents
Written by Autonome. Updated 5 November 2026.
How can a bookkeeper spend less time keying in bills?
Hand the keying to a Gadget and keep the checking for yourself. Autonome reads each supplier bill as it lands in the accounts inbox, checks the ABN and GST registration with the Australian Business Register, and leaves a draft bill in Xero or MYOB for you to approve. A supplier charging GST they aren't registered for shows up the day the bill arrives, not at BAS time.
Bookkeepers are who we kept building this for. Over six years of custom client work, the same job came up again and again: someone careful and experienced spending their mornings retyping bills, when the real value they bring is spotting the one that doesn't look right. Autonome does the retyping so you can do the spotting.
- GST problems caught the day the bill arrives.
- Nothing goes into the ledger until you approve it.
| Job | Gadget | What you still do |
|---|---|---|
| Entering supplier bills | Supplier Invoice & ABN Triage | Approve each draft bill |
| Chasing GST errors | Supplier Invoice & ABN Triage | Approve the email to the supplier |
| Watching cashflow | Morning Cashflow & Ops Brief | Act on the overdue items it lists |
Working across your clients
Each client company gets its own workspace, connected to its own Xero or MYOB file and its own inbox, so one client's bills never come near another's. Set a Gadget up once, then set it up again in the next client's workspace. We'd suggest starting with the client whose bills are the most painful and running it for a fortnight before you add the next.
Two more Gadgets earn their keep in a practice. The Morning Cashflow & Ops Brief lists overdue receivables before the day starts, and the Unbilled Variation Catcher finds agreed extra work that never made it onto an invoice. See it on a real bill: send supplier bills to Xero or MYOB, ABN checked.
Questions
Can I run it across my clients?
Yes. Each client has its own workspace, connected to that client's apps, and a Gadget you've set up once can be set up again in the next client's workspace.
Does it lodge BAS?
No. Autonome prepares and checks the bills that feed into your BAS. Lodging it stays with you, which is where it belongs.
What does it cost?
A$193.50 a month ex GST for up to 50 staff in one workspace, after a 14-day free trial.
