Hi everyone,
We all know the deal: keeping our financial records straight for the ATO is a massive headache. It's time-consuming, stressful, and honestly, worrying when you think about potential audits. It’s a specialized job, and generic apps just don't cut it.
I've spent the last while developing a dedicated app to try and solve this shared problem, focusing specifically on our industry's unique needs.
What is this project?
I've built a record-keeping tool that (for now) is specifically structured around the administrative records we get from Langtrees VIP Perth. Once we nail the testing phase here, the goal is to roll it out to our colleagues across the country.
This isn't just about saving receipts; it's about making sure we are fully compliant and, crucially, paying the lowest possible tax bill by claiming every legitimate deduction.
How the App Tackles Our Pain Points:
1). Easy Income Logging: Simple prompts to log all income—from Langtrees, independent clients, and online work.
2). Smart Expense Management: You upload a photo of a receipt or a bank statement PDF, and the app automatically extracts, reads, and categorises the relevant expense data. No more manual entry!
3).
The Deduction Guide: This is the heart of it. The app has a section that clearly breaks down exactly what you can claim (e.g., stage-wear, consumables, advertising). It summarises the often-confusing ATO rules into plain, actionable advice, even covering things like depreciating assets.
4). Compliance From Scratch:
Confused about getting an ABN or the $75k GST threshold? The app walks you through all the necessary compliance knowledge specific to our work.
Mileage Tracking: A simple, dedicated log for vehicle travel between workplaces.
.... And that is only a small part of what it does to make your life easier! See some screenshots below for an idea of what you will be dealing with... (FYI: all data displayed in the screenshots is test data)
--------------------------------------
I need a few colleagues in Perth to put this tool through its paces. I need the harsh truth: where are the bugs, what features are missing, and how can the instructions be clearer?
This is a collaboration—we are building a tool that helps our community.
A Note on Privacy:
Your privacy is paramount.
ALL data input during this trial will remain completely anonymous. If that's still not enough, please feel free to use fictional data for testing the functionality!
If you'd like to try it out and help fellow workers get on top of their tax administration, please drop a comment below. I’ll then follow up with a private message to share the specifics and get you started.
Love Amelia xx
