AI for accounting and advice practices

Put AI to work in your practice, safely.

Most practices have tried AI. Far fewer use it every day. We run a half-day workshop built around the tasks your team already does, and we show them what can and cannot go into an AI tool.

Why now

What the research shows

Two things changed for Australian practices this year.

Regulation
July 2026

The Tax Practitioners Board confirmed that practitioners stay accountable for anything AI produces, and need client permission before client information goes into an AI tool.

Who we work with

Built for practices that handle sensitive client information

Accounting practices

Less admin, more advisory

Client emails, document chasing, workpaper and file notes, advisory summaries. We show your team how to hand these to AI, within the TPB's guidance on client information.

Tax agents · BAS agents · Bookkeepers
Financial planning practices

More time with clients

File notes, meeting summaries, review preparation and first drafts of advice documents. We work within your licensee obligations and around the way your practice already runs.

Advisers · Paraplanners · Client service teams
How it works

From your team's wishlist to working AI in half a day

An in-house workshop for the whole team, built around the work in front of them.

1

Your wishlist

Before we arrive, your team lists the tasks they would most like AI to take off their hands.

2

Foundations

How to get a consistent result out of an AI tool, and how to tell when you are not getting one.

3

Safe use

What can and cannot go into AI tools, in line with current TPB and ASIC guidance.

4

Live builds

We build your top three wishlist items in the room, on the tools you already use.

What your team leaves with

✓A draft AI-use policy for the practice
✓A shared prompt library for common tasks
✓Three working workflows from your wishlist
✓A ranked list of what to automate next, with the hours each would save

Where it can go next

Scoping. We map the workflows where AI saves your practice the most hours, and give you a written plan.

Build. We build the fixes you choose, using tools you already have where possible. Each step is optional.

Client story

A Sydney investment advisory firm

Before the workshop, the team sent us twelve tasks they wanted AI to handle, from newsletter triage to business card follow-ups. We picked three and built them live in the session, using tools the team already had.

Who we are

We build for organisations that hold sensitive data

Apex Data Solutions builds data tools for organisations that handle sensitive information, including a NAPLAN analytics platform now in pilot with NSW government schools.

The same standards apply to our AI work. We run the workshop on your own systems, and anything we build afterwards fits the tools your practice already pays for.

Common questions

Is our client data safe?

One of the four sessions is about exactly this: which tools to use, what not to put into them, and how that sits with current guidance. We point you to the TPB and ASIC guidance itself rather than give you compliance advice.

Do we need new software?

Usually not. We start with the tools you already pay for, and only suggest something new when there is a clear reason for it.

How much of our time does it take?

A 30 minute briefing, then half a day for the workshop. Your team fills in the wishlist beforehand, which takes about 15 minutes each.
