Capabilities

Deep workflows, not generic task lists.

Every module shares the same client and job context — including your AML/CTF obligations — so the work moves in one direction instead of between systems.

01

Clients & jobs

Central client records, job pipelines, due dates and workload views — so nothing slips between staff.

02

Documents & e-sign

Organised client folders, controlled sharing and built-in e-signature to close engagements faster.

03

Engagement letters

Firm-branded templates generated per job and tracked from draft to signed.

04

Email & campaigns

Practice-wide email and templates so every client touchpoint stays on-brand and auditable.

05

Ledger & reporting

Integrated ledger views and reports that tie financial insight back to client and job context.

06

AML/CTF & identity verification

Client onboarding, CDD, real-time ID verification, PEP and sanctions screening and beneficial-owner mapping — audit-ready and AUSTRAC-aligned.

07

Business registration

Coming soon

Company, trust and SMSF registration with the ASIC and ATO steps handled in one flow.

08

ASIC compliance

Coming soon

Annual review reminders, officeholder and share changes and Form 484 lodgement in one flow.

Tranche 2

The compliance layer for reporting entities.

From 1 July 2026, accountants, lawyers and other designated professionals are reporting entities under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth). We give you the infrastructure to meet those obligations.

We are the platform. Your practice is the reporting entity.

We are not your compliance officer, AML/CTF officer or legal adviser. Your firm remains responsible for its own AML/CTF program, risk assessment and suspicious matter reporting to AUSTRAC. Our tools make compliance manageable — they do not discharge it.

Customer due diligence

Guided onboarding questionnaires for individuals, companies, trusts, SMSFs and body corporates — covering AUSTRAC initial CDD, section by section.

Identity verification

Real-time checks of passports and Australian driver licences: document authentication, liveness detection and face match, with an audit trail per check.

PEP & sanctions screening

Automated screening of clients and beneficial owners against PEP lists and global sanctions registers, with alerts and compliance-officer escalation.

Beneficial owner mapping

Structured capture of owners, trustees and controllers — including nested entities — documented to AUSTRAC requirements.

FAQ

Common questions.

Something not covered? Email us or call 02 9740 0295.

What is AML/CTF Tranche 2 and does it apply to my practice?

The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024 (Cth) extends AML/CTF obligations to accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers, real estate agents and other “tranche 2” professions. If your practice provides designated services — forming companies or trusts, acting as trustee, handling client funds, providing registered office services — you are likely a reporting entity. Confirm with your legal or compliance adviser, or via AUSTRAC.

What are a reporting entity's obligations?

Enrol with AUSTRAC, implement and maintain an AML/CTF Program, conduct customer due diligence before providing designated services, ongoing CDD, suspicious matter reports, threshold transaction reports and annual compliance reporting. AccountSuite 360 provides the workflow tools; your practice remains responsible for the program and all reporting.

How does identity verification work?

Your client submits a passport or Australian driver licence and a photograph of their face. The document is read and examined for signs of tampering; the photograph confirms a live person is present and matches the document. No government database is queried — the Australian Document Verification Service is not enabled on the platform — so the check is evidence about the document and the person presenting it, not confirmation from the issuer. Every check keeps an audit trail. This supports electronic verification under AUSTRAC's CDD rules; assess plausibility and take further steps on a failed check.

Is my clients' data stored in Australia?

Yes. Client records, CDD forms, identity verification results and documents are stored on servers in Australia, and identity verification is processed in Australia only. Some integrations (email delivery, analytics) process data overseas; where that happens we take reasonable steps under APP 8 to ensure the recipient handles information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles. Our Privacy Policy sets out which data goes where.

Does using AccountSuite 360 discharge my AML/CTF obligations?

No. AccountSuite 360 is compliance infrastructure — it helps you build, document and operate your program. Your practice remains responsible for maintaining a compliant program, training staff, reporting to AUSTRAC, lodging annual compliance reports and keeping records.
