Business Management Software for Australian Financial Services

"Client portfolios, compliance, trust accounting — unified."

Australian financial services firms — financial planners, mortgage brokers, accountants, and advisors — manage client relationships, trust obligations, regulatory compliance, and complex fee structures. XIntelliSync brings CRM, accounting, payroll, and compliance tracking into one platform.

Financial Services Pain Points

Challenges for Australian financial services businesses:

  • Client relationship management requires tracking advice history, compliance documents, and fee agreements across systems
  • Commission and fee structures vary by product, client, and service type — tracking is complex
  • Trust accounting obligations for client funds held in trust
  • AFSL compliance creates ongoing documentation, training, and reporting requirements

How XIntelliSync Addresses Financial Services Workflows

XIntelliSync consolidates financial services operations:

  • CRM with client intake, advice tracking, and document management
  • Commission tracking per adviser, per product, with automatic reconciliation
  • Trust accounting tracking for client funds
  • Payroll preparation for employed staff under the Banking, Finance and Insurance Award
  • AI agents automate client follow-ups, compliance deadline reminders, and financial reporting

Compliance for Financial Services

Financial services businesses must comply with:

  • AFSL obligations: licensee requirements, breach reporting, financial requirements (tracked, not managed)
  • BAS: GST on fees, input-taxed financial supplies, PAYG withholding
  • STP Phase 2: payroll reporting for employed staff
  • Superannuation: 12% SGC for all employees
  • Anti-money laundering (AML): record-keeping obligations (XIntelliSync tracks financial records)

Common Questions

Does XIntelliSync help with AFSL compliance?

XIntelliSync tracks compliance-related costs, deadlines, and documentation. AFSL compliance obligations (licensee requirements, breach reporting, financial requirements) must be managed through your compliance framework — XIntelliSync supports the business operations around compliance, not the regulatory compliance itself.

Can XIntelliSync manage trust accounting for financial services?

Yes. XIntelliSync includes trust accounting tracking features for managing trust account records. Statutory audit requirements must be completed via your registered auditor.

Does XIntelliSync track client portfolios?

XIntelliSync CRM tracks client relationships, service agreements, and financial interactions. For investment portfolio management and portfolio valuation, dedicated portfolio management software may still be required alongside XIntelliSync.

How does BAS preparation work for financial services?

XIntelliSync prepares BAS from all financial data — fees earned, commission income, business expenses, and payroll. GST treatment varies by financial service type (some financial supplies are GST-free or input-taxed). The platform categorises transactions accordingly.
