AI that works alongside your team, not instead of it.

These are not concepts. They are systems running inside accounting practices and financial services firms right now, connected to Xero, XPM and the platforms you already use.

Transaction coding

Unreconciled transactions categorised against your chart of accounts. Staff review and approve before write-back.

Payroll tax & WorkCover reconciliation

Wages data pulled from Xero payroll, reconciled against state payroll tax thresholds and WorkCover declarations. Discrepancies surfaced before lodgement, not after the audit letter.

Xero gross wages FY: $1,284,300 QLD payroll tax declared: $1,284,300 match WorkCover declared: $1,241,800 ⚑ variance $42,500

BAS completion from Xero

GST and PAYG withholding drawn straight from Xero, BAS labels populated, variances checked against prior periods. Your staff review and approve, then lodge.

Governance

AI does the work. Humans approve the consequences.

Every action in the platform is split into two tiers. Nothing goes out the door without one of your people saying yes. For many partners, this is the reason they choose Ditto.

Read only · executes instantly

Information retrieval

  • Fetching transaction lists
  • Pulling reports and dashboards
  • Checking client statuses and due dates
  • Drafting notices (draft only)
  • Generating financial commentary
Write actions · require approval

Anything with consequences

  • Sending a notice to a client
  • Coding a transaction back to the ledger
  • Updating a job status in practice management
  • Publishing a report to the client portal

Full audit trail

Every action logged: who triggered it, what was generated, who approved it, when it executed. Supports ATO, IRD and TPB compliance.

Progressive trust

Start in draft-only mode. Move to approve-then-send. Eventually full auto for routine items. Your firm controls the pace.

Role-based access

Partners see everything. Managers approve. Staff review and flag. Each role configurable per firm.

Data sovereignty

Your clients' data never leaves Australia.

  • A dedicated AWS account for your firm. Not a tenant on someone’s platform, your own infrastructure.
  • Anthropic Claude served through AWS Bedrock in Sydney. No US-hosted inference, no offshore disclosure problem.
  • No consumer AI tools, no shared models, no training on your data. Ever.
  • Built to support your obligations under the Privacy Act, the TPB Code and ATO data security expectations.

How it works

Four steps. No filler.

01 / discovery

Map the real workflows

Where time gets wasted. Where things fall through cracks. Where a machine should be doing the work.

02 / architecture

Design before build

Integrations, security, governance. You approve the architecture before we write a line of code.

03 / build

Deploy on your infrastructure

Built on Australian infrastructure, connected to your platforms, your team trained. Live in weeks.

04 / manage

Run, improve, expand

Monitoring, monthly reviews, model updates and new capabilities as your firm evolves. We don’t build and leave.

“Financial services firms do not need another tool subscription. They need someone who owns the outcome, the build, the infrastructure, the governance, and what happens in month six when the model changes.”
