SOVEREIGN AI FOR AUSTRALIAN ACCOUNTING FIRMS · CA ANZ-LED
AML/CTF Tranche 2 is in force. AUSTRAC enrolment closes 29 July.

Run the firm your headcount can't.

AI on hardware in your office. Reconciliations finished overnight, deal databooks in days, every client's history answerable in plain English. Your data never leaves your building, and neither does the value it creates.

A short call to answer your questions and see whether this fits your firm.

Capacity constraints

The capacity problem has had two answers. Both are failing.

Hiring senior accountants is the plan every firm has and almost none can execute. The pipeline that used to produce them was dismantled when the junior work went offshore.

Offshoring bought capacity and charged for it in review time, quality risk, and a consent problem that now covers offshore processing and cloud AI alike. Senior staff spend their week correcting work instead of doing the job they trained for.

"You can outsource the services, but you can't outsource the risk."

Hire

Can't find them.

Offshore

The risk stays yours.

Sovereign AI

Capacity that never leaves the building, reviews to exceptions, needs no consent letter.

The immediate path forward

Give your seniors back the job they trained for.

Month-end close

Practice modules

Each module works like a hire: it owns real work, learns your firm, and never leaves the building.

Run the Firm
Ledger Intelligencedocument review hours cut up to 70% (category benchmark, cited)

The Databook

Hand it a deal and it reads the whole ledger, not a sample. It works through every line, flags the anomalies, balances the intercompany positions, and builds the databook to your workbook standard before the team starts the review. And because it holds someone else's entire ledger under NDA, it never leaves your building.

The work of a dedicated analyst, on deal one.

Active Local Deployment
Automated Coding

The Reconciliation Engine

It runs overnight and the reconciliations are ready the next morning. It learns your coding patterns, remembers every correction anyone makes, and queues only the exceptions it isn't sure about. The work that used to swallow days becomes a morning review.

The morning review that used to be someone's whole week.

Active Local Deployment
Win Work
Practice Intelligence

The Client Brain

It holds every client's full story: workpapers, correspondence, meetings, financials. Ask it anything in plain English and it answers from the file, not from guesswork. This is the module that grows advisory revenue rather than saving cost, because the partner who can see the whole story sells the next engagement.

Every partner answers like the one who has read the whole file.

Active Local Deployment
Stay Protected
Automated Verification

Compliant Client Onboarding

It knows what a trust needs versus a company, collects and verifies as the client comes on, screens the principals, and writes the evidence pack as a by-product of the work.

The fastest yes in your suburb, with the proof attached.

Active Local Deployment
Integrated Platform Capabilities

Sovereign Document Engine

It reads everything that arrives, files it against the right client and job in the systems you already run, and hands your team back an empty inbox.

An empty inbox is a staffing outcome.

Billable-Hour Capture

It watches the work, drafts the timesheets, and ends the Friday reconstruction of where the week went.

The hours you already worked, finally on an invoice.

Business value

What this does to your numbers.

Firm Efficiency

Every firm leaks differently. Some lose billable hours to chasing and rework. Some are capped on capacity and quietly turning work away. Some have margin draining through unbilled time nobody records. The pattern underneath is the same: the hours come back, the billables go up, and the cost stays fixed while the volume doesn't.

Workflow Analysis

We won't put a number on your firm from a webpage. That is what the Scout is for: fourteen days inside your workflows, and a roadmap with your figures on it, showing exactly where the money is.

Practice Value

For owners thinking further ahead, the same shift shows up in margin, and in what the practice is worth when it sells.

Sovereign Architecture

Australian jurisdiction by architecture.

Fixed infrastructure cost instead of per-token fees forever. A system that learns your practice, where the longer it runs, the more it knows, and everything it learns stays yours. Client trust you can point at, physically. And Australian jurisdiction by architecture, not by promise.

Data sovereignty

client data is processed on hardware the firm owns, inside the firm's premises, under Australian jurisdiction. It never transits a third-party cloud, an offshore region, or a US-provider platform, because Australian-hosted on a US hyperscaler is Australian geography, not Australian jurisdiction.

Operational sovereignty

the models are open-weight (Google DeepMind's Gemma family), running locally. No vendor can revoke, throttle, retrain on, or be compelled to hand over what happens inside your building. Every inference is logged to a permanent local audit trail.

What we don't claim

that the model weights were trained in Australia, or that any regulator endorses us. We claim custody, jurisdiction and auditability, the three things your obligations actually turn on.

Ask any AI vendor: can my client data physically leave this building, in any form, at any stage? Our answer is no. Get theirs in writing.

Make the practice worth more. Then decide whether to sell it.

The last five years of your practice can be the most profitable, and the sale can price like it. Attestor helps you transition to an AI-operated firm on modern sovereign infrastructure, securing your equity.

Valuation Bands
Band 01

Sole/micro

0.8–1.0x fees
Band 02

Boutique

1.0–1.2x fees or 2–3x EBITDA
Band 03

Regional/mid-tier

3.5–5.0x EBITDA
Band 04

Tech-enabled, advisory-diversified

4–6x+ EBITDA

The jump between bands is driven by recurring advisory revenue, documented systems, and non-principal-dependence.

Modern practice sales are structured as multi-year earn-outs against client retention, so the seller's real risk is collecting the price, not negotiating it. Installed systems, documented workflows and evidence trails are how the practice holds its clients through transition.

Attestor doesn't just argue for a better multiple. It protects the part of the price you only get paid if the clients stay.

Leadership team

We've sat in
your chair.

A chartered accountant who started at Deloitte and ran a 350-person global firm. A systems architect who's spent 30 years making technology work in real businesses. We're not selling you something we read about. We built it because we've lived the problem.

Then CEO of a 350-person global firm across five countries, and CEO of Australia's exclusive NVIDIA distributor, where he spent four years deploying enterprise AI hardware into Australian businesses. He knows what a BAS lodgement cycle costs in staff hours, what happens when an ATO data-matching letter arrives, and what it takes to move a practice from compliance grind to advisory growth. He started Attestor because he has solved these problems before. From both sides of the desk.

Matthew Keats - Founding Architect

Matthew Keats

Founding Architect

Three decades of sales, marketing technology, and digital transformation across multiple countries. 2026 Google Cloud AI Agentic Architecture winner. Matthew's career has been making technology work in real operations, not in pitch decks, but in businesses where it has to perform under pressure.

Common queries

Frequently asked questions.

Instead of uploading client records to offshore servers, we install a dedicated local compute unit inside your physical office. Models run on local hardware with zero external API calls.
During our initial hardware delivery, we provide personalized guidance, system integration assistance, and compliance checks to prepare your team for daily use.
We release secure quarterly compliance updates containing model recalibrations and reporting improvements under standard Australian law, downloaded manually or via secure connection.
Absolutely. Under our zero vendor lock-in guarantee, you can download all system decisions, audit files, and processed logs in standard non-proprietary formats within 24 hours.
We offer fixed upfront costing and transparent subscription pricing. The 14-day Scout roadmap is a fixed $9,900 + GST. Deploying your first local module is $55,000–$65,000 + GST (which includes your dedicated local NVIDIA hardware and calibration), with additional modules at $25,000–$40,000 + GST. Ongoing operations, updates, and compliance monitoring are covered under a monthly Operate subscription starting from $1,800 per month.
Your Operate retainer includes continuous infrastructure monitoring and a comprehensive hardware SLA. In the rare event of hardware failure, we dispatch a swap unit pre-calibrated with your secure system state. You run the firm; we run the infrastructure.
We manage all model updates under the Operate subscription. This includes regular performance refreshes, infrastructure monitoring, and prompt integration of new Australian regulatory changes as they land.
No such approval exists, for any provider, and anyone implying it is misleading you. What we warrant is the local architecture, the comprehensive local audit trail, and defensible evidence your compliance officer can confidently stand behind.
Yes. The sovereign intelligence layer sits inside your building and integrates with your existing workflow software. Your current software stack, including Xero, Karbon, FYI Docs, CAS360, and others, stays exactly where it is.
Professional indemnity insurers increasingly ask how firms manage client data privacy with AI. A named, local, and fully auditable system running inside your office is the easy, compliant answer to that question.
