How we run your numbers

Built for how a real estate business actually runs.

Commission income, contractor agents, trust accounts and growing structures each carry compliance risk. We work through every obligation in a structured monthly close, classify each agent before the ATO does, and wrap it into one fixed monthly price.

01
Monthly Compliance CheckMonthly close

The Numberz platform · In development

Expert accountants today. A live dashboard, coming soon.

Most agents we meet are stitching together a spreadsheet, a shoebox of receipts, and an accountant they only hear from at tax time.

Numberz replaces all of it. Today, a dedicated senior accountant keeps your commissions, trust account, payroll and BAS reconciled and reported every month. And we're building the Numberz dashboard so you'll soon see all of it in real time, with AI flagging issues and deductions before they cost you.

  • Monthly reconciliation and a clear financial report you actually understand
  • A live dashboard for commissions, trust account and cash positionComing soon
  • AI that pre-audits transactions and surfaces deductions before they cost youComing soon

Know the risks

The top compliance risks for real estate agencies.

Every one of these is avoidable with the right bookkeeping and review in place. Here's the risk — and exactly how we keep you on the right side of it.

High risk

Contractor misclassification

If the ATO deems your agents employees, you're liable for backdated super, PAYG withholding and payroll tax — plus penalties and interest.

How Numberz protects you

We review every agent agreement against ATO criteria before the ATO ever does.

High risk

Trust account reconciliation failures

Statutory trust accounts face state regulatory audits — reconciliation errors can lead to fines or licence suspension.

How Numberz protects you

We reconcile your trust account separately in Xero every month and keep records audit-ready.

High risk

No CGT planning before selling the rent roll

A rent roll sale is a major CGT event. Without planning, you can pay far more tax than necessary on the proceeds.

How Numberz protects you

We model the CGT before you sell and structure the sale to reduce it where possible.

Medium risk

GST errors on fee income

Under-reporting GST on commissions, management or letting fees leads to ATO shortfall assessments and interest.

How Numberz protects you

We map every fee to the correct GST code and reconcile it to your bank each BAS period.

Medium risk

Payroll tax grouping

Multi-office or associated agencies can be grouped and aggregated above the state payroll tax threshold without realising.

How Numberz protects you

We calculate your grouped wages state by state and register and lodge where required.

Medium risk

Super guarantee for contractors

Contractors engaged primarily for their labour may attract super guarantee obligations — and a Super Guarantee Charge if missed.

How Numberz protects you

We test SGC obligations per arrangement and keep super calculated and paid on time.
