Registered tax agent (no. 26262416)

To streamline your tax, BAS and accounting requirements even more, Thriday is a registered tax agent (registration number 26262416) with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). This means you can lodge your BAS and taxes directly from the Thriday platform and take advantage of expert support from registered tax agents.

Automated bookkeeping and categorisation

Thriday acts like a bookkeeper or accountant in your pocket, taking care of all that frustrating financial admin automatically using AI. You can still use your trusted bookkeeper or accountant if you want, but it's now your choice, it's not required. With Thriday, all your income and expenses are automatically assigned to a chart of accounts, and your GST position is calculated instantly without any human intervention.

Email receipt reconciliation

When you sign up to Thriday, a unique email address is created and assigned to you. From there, you are able to forward any receipts you receive to the mailbox. Even if you want to take a photo of a physical receipt you receive, you can also forward it to your Thriday inbox. Once a receipt is forwarded, Thriday automagically scans the receipt, pulls out the amount, GST, date and merchant details and reconciles it to a business transaction on your account. It's frankly the smoothest thing you will ever use. Quickbooks does provide an app to manually take photos and record expenses but it's quite clunky and there is no option to just email it through.

Track spend with a Visa Debit card

Thriday really elevates itself above a platform like Quickbooks, with the ability for small business owners to generate a Visa Debit card. With Thriday, once you are setup, you can simple order a Visa Debit card and add this into Apple or Google Pay. From there, all your transactions are automatically logged in real-time in the Thriday general ledger. Transactions are categorised, enriched and assigned to a Chart of Accounts for added convenience. With Quickbooks there is no option to obtain a Visa Debit card or any transaction banking capabilities.

Lodge BAS to the ATO with a review by a tax expert

Thriday has made it super easy to lodge your BAS to the ATO by automatically calculating your books for the corresponding period. Once your books are prepared, you can view all the details including any income, expenses and GST incurred over the reporting period. Once you are happy, you can then lodge your BAS to the ATO yourself, or you can get an expert tax agent to review it for you for an extra fee. With Quickbooks, you are able to lodge your BAS to the ATO, but you can only do it yourself. There is no option to automatically request a tax expert to review it for you.

Australian owned and operated

Thriday was built by Aussie small business owners for Aussie small business owners. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Thriday was founded by Michael and Ben who had both experienced their own frustrations with financial admin.
