One email, start to finish

Six checks, one minute, and then it is your call

At 9:02 an invoice lands in your accounts@ mailbox. Recount works out what the email is, reads the attached page as written, and recomputes every total from the page rather than trusting the covering note

By 9:03 the supplier is confirmed against Xero, the payment account is checked against every bill you have already approved, and the bill is coded the way you code it. What reaches your team is a draft and a decision

  • Coded to the accounts you already use
  • The supplier confirmed before anything is coded to it
  • A changed payment account stops the bill and asks
  • Nothing reaches Xero until a person approves it

Meet the readers. One for each thing that lands in the inbox

Bill reader

Reads a supplier invoice as written and recomputes every total from the page

Receipt pairer

Matches a photographed receipt to the bill it belongs to, or holds it until one arrives

Timesheet reader

Paper, photos and spreadsheets become a draft pay run, start and finish times kept

Supplier checker

Confirms the organisation against Xero and the register before anything is coded to it

Destination check

Remembers where each supplier is paid. A new account stops the bill and asks

Remittance matcher

Reads a remittance advice and settles it against the invoices it names

Statement reader

Lines a supplier statement up against your bills and names what disagrees

Question router

Sends what needs a human to the right person, with the reading already done

Two outcomes, no third. Done, or handed over, never left sitting

Arrives

Whatever they send

Suppliers, staff and customers, in whatever form they send it: PDF, photo, spreadsheet or plain text

Sorted

Works out what it is

Reads the document as written and recomputes every total from the page, never from the covering email

Checked

Only what needs a person

Handed over with the reading done and the scan beside it, so the decision takes seconds

Lands

A draft in Xero

The original attached, the covering email filed against it. A draft bill or pay run, never a posted guess

The invoice that isn't what it looks like. Caught before anyone pays it

Stops the bill, the bank details changed

"BSB and account differ from Eastgate Produce's verified details. Confirm before paying."

Each supplier's payment destination is remembered from the bills you have already approved and from Xero. A new one stops the bill and asks a person, so nobody pays a swapped account by reflex

Reads the email, not just the file

A changed reply-to, a lookalike domain and a first-time account are read together, not one at a time

It says what it saw

Every flag names the fact behind it and where that fact came from. No scores, no "this looks suspicious"

Nothing posts itself

Recount drafts and a person posts. There is no setting that changes it, and every reading is kept with its time and its author

Client data stays in Australia

Documents and the readings taken from them are processed and stored in Australian regions, and the inference that reads them runs there too

Answer the hard questions with a straight face. Where the data is, who saw it, what changed

Residency

It never leaves Australia

Every document, every reading taken from it and the models that do the reading sit in Australian regions

Encryption

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Connections, documents and the work in between are encrypted, with the keys held in Australia alongside them

Separation

One client cannot see another

Each client's data is fenced off in the database itself, not by code remembering to filter it

Access

Granted area by area

People get the areas their job needs, and an invitation only works for the address their sign-in provider vouches for

The record

Who saw it, who changed it

Every reading, correction and approval is kept with its author and its time, and is never rewritten afterwards

Connections

No passwords change hands

Xero, Microsoft and Google connect through their own consent screens, with the narrowest access that does the job

Questions

Asked by the businesses we talk to

Does anything go into Xero without us seeing it?

No. Recount prepares drafts. A person on your team approves each bill and pay run before it is posted

What happens to an email it does not understand?

It goes to your team with whatever Recount could read already done. Nothing is guessed and nothing sits unread

Can it really read handwritten paperwork?

Yes. Each document is read twice, independently, and every total is recomputed. Where the readings disagree or the handwriting is unclear, it goes to your team with the scan beside it

Can it catch a fake invoice?

It catches the common ones. A bill whose payment details differ from that supplier’s verified destination is stopped rather than merely noted, and the email is checked alongside the document for a lookalike domain, a reply address that leaves the sender’s domain, an address mixing character sets, and a first-time sender. Each flag reaches a person with the evidence beside it

Where is client data processed?

In Australia, on Amazon’s Australian regions. Documents are read by AI models running in Melbourne. Everything else, including your data, the audit trail and the queue, sits in Sydney. Nothing leaves the country

Which mailbox and ledger does it work with?

Recount connects to Microsoft 365 mailboxes and to Xero today

Does it get better at our paperwork?

Yes. When your team corrects a reading, Recount learns your suppliers’ layouts and your conventions, and that learning stays with your business, never shared with anyone else’s
