COAT, in 30 seconds.

After you sign

Four steps, and the founder only does the first

1. 01

   Connect

   Founder's step. A Xero plan we provide, bank statements imported, receipts on COAT.

2. 02

   We keep the books

   Every transaction categorised and matched. Payroll on Plus and Pro. A one-page monthly summary.

3. 03

   You watch the COAT platform

   Owner, next action, due date on every filing. A message 30 days before anything is due. Replies within one business day.

4. 04

   We file, you sign

   Tax estimate, return and annual accounts by us; registry filings via Astria, our affiliate. Explained in one paragraph, signed by you.

Filings live in the company's own government portals; on leaving, the books move to a Xero plan in the client's name.

The working standard

Five fields on every obligation, enforced by COAT.

Owner. Whose move it is. Sometimes yours, usually ours.

This is how the platform is built. A deadline cannot exist without a date; an alert cannot appear without a next action; nothing is “done” without evidence. So founders rarely have to ask “where are we on this?”

The same discipline runs underneath: security and privacy by design, least-privilege access, full audit trails and PDPA-aligned data handling.
