  • “We love what AccountKit brings to our tech stack. Technically, the professional team love the compliance and consulting features, and from an administrative point of view the feature rich CRM functionality helps to support our PM software quickly and efficiently. It has become our ‘source of truth’ for client data.”

    Rhianan HendersonPractice Manager

  • “I just love this Xero add on. I only use it for the Equipment loans function It’s true what others are saying it ‘seamlessly’ integrates and posts to Xero so you can do those super amazing up to date management reports if that’s what you want. But even just basic compliance or when you need to pump out financials quick smart for the bank for those entities with multiple equipment loans, and high equipment asset turnover. Perfect. It saves me days and days of work.”

    Katie SlukaKatie Sluka & Co

  • “I have been using account kit for about 3 months and already feel that I cannot live without it. The Fuel Tax Credit Calculator is my super favourite thing ever but I am giving the Correspondence Register and Inter-Entity Loan Tool a good bash too.”
