Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Acknowledge that initial demand stems from manual bookkeeping tasks (such as 5-year transaction reconciliation and AR/AP entry) and enter as a tech-enabled workflow assistant for registered BAS agents rather than attempting direct automated tax filing without TPB registration.
What to build first
    1. Build a read-only Xero API integration to ingest general ledger entries, invoices, bills, and Single Touch Payroll (STP) transaction histories.
