Bank data,
matched on arrival.
Cloud accounting and tax infrastructure for Australia. GST/BAS, payroll, bank reconciliation and year-end statements run on one ledger — and you can connect your own AI to keep the books.
BAS lodgement, generated.
G1, G10, G11, 1A, 1B — every label the ATO expects, computed live from your ledger.
An invoice, without the tedious maths.
Pick a contact, add line items, GST and totals compute live. Email a PDF or record payment against the bill.
The statements come out finished.
P&L, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, General Ledger — plus a full set of AASB 1060 general purpose financial statements. Trial Balance ties to your bank to the cent.
Payroll setup, in three steps.
Add employees, configure super and tax tables, run a first draft pay run. Payslips and journals generated automatically.
If you need proper books without the overhead.
Built around accounts an accountant recognises, so the repetitive half of the month can be handed over without handing over the judgement.
The month is not slow because of the bookkeeping.
It is slow because the same things get re-checked every cycle. How GST is classified. Whether the BAS G items tie to the W items. Whether this pay run’s STP treatment changed. How super works now that it follows the pay date rather than the quarter. None of that is recording a transaction — it is a review that comes around every quarter and every pay run.
Using a tool that was not built for Australia means keeping that review permanently for yourself. The seams cost more again: bank data in one place, invoices in another, payroll in a third, with a person tying the three together — and the transaction that was missed usually surfaces the night before the BAS is due.
HPLedger is built on four commitments. Australian rules built in rather than localised on top. Your judgement first — prompts and reasons rather than hard locks, and a manual adjustment you have made is not overwritten by the next automatic recalculation. One set of data from source document through BAS to annual financial statements. And open to AI: your own assistant can do in the software what you can do in it yourself.

Common questions.
How does bank data get in?
Through a direct bank connection over an Australian CDR-accredited channel. Transactions arrive on their own, rules match them automatically, several lines can be combined into one, coding runs in bulk, and only what genuinely does not match needs a look.
Does the AI post entries on its own?
No. The built-in AI bookkeeper reads your bank transactions and proposes an entry for each one with the reasoning behind it — and every one of them requires a person to agree before it is posted. It remembers the calls you have made: when the same counterparty appears again, it knows how you treated it last time.
Can I connect my own AI?
Yes. A guided page connects assistants such as claude.ai, Claude Code or ChatGPT in three copy-and-paste steps, with a live tick once connected. From then on you can simply tell your own AI to review the month, produce a profit and loss, or ask how a transaction should be treated — and it can do in the software what you can do in it yourself. Anything that writes still requires your confirmation.
Does it lodge STP and SuperStream?
Yes. HPLedger has passed the ATO’s Digital Service Provider review, and STP and SuperStream are lodged straight from the pay run.
