AI for accountants in Australia: the tools and the rules

By Brett Raven, APAC Lead & Board Member, AIREUpdated 23 October 2026First published 30 September 2026

Yes, an Australian accounting firm can use AI on client work, and it is already arriving inside Xero, MYOB and practice management software. Two sets of rules decide how. The Tax Practitioners Board's July 2026 guidance says a registered agent needs the client's permission before client information goes to a third party, which can include an AI tool, and should check and document what the tool produces. The APESB, which sets the ethics code for members of CA ANZ, CPA Australia and the IPA, says members should disclose when they use AI tools and supervise that use. So the firm needs a business plan that doesn't train on its data, an engagement letter that covers AI, a written rule on what staff may paste in, and a person who checks every figure before it leaves the firm.

Where AI helps in an accounting firm

The value sits in the reading and writing around the numbers. Much of a junior's week goes on reading source documents and drafting the same letters again. That work suits AI well, as long as someone who could have done it checks it.

Work it does well

First drafts of client letters and advice. The covering note for a return, or a first cut of an advice letter from the partner's notes. The partner edits instead of starting from a blank page.
Reconciliation and variance commentary. Give it the reconciliation or two periods of figures and ask for the plain-English account of what moved. Someone still ties each sentence back to the ledger.
Research summaries. A first read of a ruling or a long piece of legislation, so the accountant knows where to look. The source is what gets cited, never the summary.
Meeting notes and file notes. A client meeting turned into a file note and a task list, reviewed by the person who was in the room.
Inherited spreadsheets. What a workbook does and where its assumptions sit, explained before anyone relies on it.

Work it shouldn't do

It shouldn't be the source of a figure that goes to a client or the ATO. General assistants write text that reads as right, and that includes a total that doesn't add up. The APESB's technical alert warns that AI "at times can hallucinate and present convincing answers that are not accurate." Keep the calculations in the ledger and the tax software. Use AI to find, summarise and draft.

AI tools for accountants in Australia (checked 23 October 2026)

A firm ends up with two kinds of AI. General assistants sit beside the work and take whatever you paste in. Platform AI is built into software that already holds client data, such as Xero, MYOB or your practice management system. You'll usually want one of each.

AI tools for accountants in Australia, checked 23 October 2026
Tool	What it does	Good for	Australian availability and data location	Published price
ChatGPT Business or Enterprise (OpenAI)	Drafting, summarising and custom GPTs built on the firm's own templates. A separate workspace, outside your ledger and practice software.	A general assistant for letters and long documents.	Eligible new Enterprise customers can store content at rest in Australia. In-region processing is offered only in Europe, the US and the UAE. OpenAI doesn't train on Business or Enterprise data by default.	Business, for teams of 2 to 200: a Standard seat is A$28 per user per month billed annually, or A$35 monthly, and a Premium seat A$140 billed annually, or A$175 monthly. OpenAI doesn't say whether its AUD prices include GST. Enterprise isn't published.

Checked 23 October 2026. Each entry is what the vendor's own page said that day. "Good for" is AIRE's reading of the scope each vendor describes. It is a list, not a ranking, and none of it is an endorsement. Prices are shown as published, in the vendor's currency, and they and the beta features change often, so check the vendor's page before you buy. Each vendor's page is listed in the sources.

Two things follow from the table. The data commitments belong to business plans: a staff member's personal account sits under consumer terms, and the firm can't see what goes into it. And platform AI can be switched on before anyone has decided to use it, so it belongs in the same rule as the assistants.

For how the three general assistants compare, see ChatGPT vs Copilot vs Claude. The usual answer is the one your firm already licenses. If you live in Microsoft 365, that is often Copilot.

How to use AI in accounting

Use AI one task at a time. For each recurring job, decide where the AI sits, what may go into it, and who checks the result against the source before it leaves the firm. The Tax Practitioners Board expects that checking at each step of the workflow, and expects each step to be documented.

How to use AI in accounting, task by task
Task	Where the AI is	What the accountant still does
Bank coding and reconciliation	The ledger's own AI. JAX in Xero categorises and matches high-confidence bank transactions, and MYOB's Smart Reconciliation matches transactions in the background.	Reviews the matches before the period is finalised, and watches the rules closely on a new client.
BAS preparation	MYOB's AI BAS (in beta) flags missing receipts and unusual GST as transactions come in. QuickBooks runs a GST check before lodgement.	A registered agent reviews the BAS before it is lodged. The TPB says reasonable care depends partly on whether the output was checked before anyone relied on it.
Source documents	Dext captures receipts, invoices and bank statements, extracts the data and validates ABNs.	Checks the categories and supplier rules for each client until they are right.
Client emails and file notes	Karbon AI summarises threads and drafts replies, FYI AI drafts replies inside automations, or a general assistant on a business plan does the first draft.	Reads every line before anything goes out under the firm's name.
Management report commentary	Fathom's Commentary Writer in Pro reports, or Copilot in Excel on the firm's own workbook.	Ties every sentence back to the figures before the client sees it.
Research and advice letters	A general assistant for a first read of a ruling or legislation, and a first draft from the partner's notes.	Reads the ruling or section itself and cites it, never the summary, and signs off the advice.

Three rules hold for every row. The engagement letter covers the tool before any client data goes into it, because the TPB says entering client information into an AI tool can be a disclosure to a third party. Tax file numbers stay out of general assistants. And the file records that AI was used and who checked it. The rollout below sets those up once for the whole firm.

Your professional obligations, and what they mean in practice

General information, not legal, tax or professional advice. Check how these rules apply to your firm with your professional body or your own adviser.

Neither the TPB nor the APESB has written new rules for AI. Their existing codes apply to it, and both have now said how.

Confidentiality

APES 110, the ethics code for members of CA ANZ, CPA Australia and the IPA, lets a member use or disclose confidential information only where there is a legal or professional duty or right to, or where the client has authorised it. The code, as revised for technology from 1 January 2025, says protecting that information covers its collection, use, transfer, storage, dissemination and destruction. A prompt touches most of those.

For registered tax and BAS agents, Code item 6 is blunter: "Unless you have a legal duty to do so, you must not disclose any information relating to a client's affairs to a third party without your client's permission." The TPB's guidance statement TPB(GS) 55/2026, issued on 22 July 2026, applies that to AI. You must get each client's permission before their information goes to a third party, and that "can include entering client information into AI models and tools, depending on how these tools are configured and used."

The permission can sit in a signed engagement letter, a signed consent or a general authority. The TPB recommends telling the client to whom and where the disclosure will be made, where the data will be stored and whether AI tools may be used. Tax file numbers bring in the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015 as well.

Competence and verification

The TPB says practitioners stay accountable for the accuracy of what they give clients. They should verify AI output at each step of the workflow and document those steps, which puts the checking into the records and quality management system the TPB's rules already require. Whether you took reasonable care depends partly on whether you reviewed the output before relying on it.

APES 110 asks every member to keep up with technology developments relevant to their work. The APESB's October 2025 technical alert says members "must have an inquiring mind to critically assess and verify any information used or produced for a professional activity, which includes AI-generated information."

Supervision

APES 110 requires a member to take reasonable steps to make sure the people working under them have appropriate training and supervision. The TPB's determination requires the same of anyone providing tax agent services on your behalf, inside a documented system of quality management. A junior drafting a client letter with AI is a supervision question, and the reviewer needs to know AI was used.

Disclosure

The APESB's technical alert says members "should disclose when AI tools are used and supervise and review their use." For valuation, forensic accounting and corporate finance reports, its service standards already require the methodology and sources to be disclosed, and the alert says that would generally include AI tools and AI-generated information. The APESB also began reviewing all its pronouncements for technology and AI in September 2025, so more guidance may follow.

Put that beside the TPB's permission rule and the practical answer is an engagement letter that says which AI tools the firm uses, for what, and where the data is held.

Privacy

Where the Privacy Act applies to your firm, putting a client's personal information into an AI tool is a use or disclosure that has to fit Australian Privacy Principle 6. The OAIC recommends, as best practice, that organisations don't enter personal information, and particularly sensitive information, into publicly available generative AI tools. It also expects due diligence on a product before it is adopted, and regular reviews after.

The risks, and the controls that deal with them

Most of what goes wrong is ordinary: a number nobody checked, or client data in a place the engagement letter never mentioned. The controls are ordinary too.

AI risks in an accounting firm and the control for each
Risk	How it shows up	The control
A wrong figure	A total, a rate or a date that reads as right and isn't. The tool states it with the same confidence as a correct one.	AI never originates a number that leaves the firm. The reviewer ties every figure back to the ledger, the return or the source document.
An invented reference	A ruling, a section or a case that doesn't exist, or doesn't say what the summary claims.	Cite the source, never the summary. Open the ruling or the legislation and read the passage before it goes into advice.
Client data leaving the firm	Someone pastes a client's details into a personal account, or a tool sends data somewhere the engagement letter doesn't cover.	Business plans only, with SSO and retention set before anyone starts. Feedback sharing off where the plan allows. AI named in the engagement letter.
Tax file numbers	A TFN inside a pasted return, an uploaded document or a prompt.	Keep TFNs out of general assistants. The TPB points to the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015 and says to take your own advice on how it applies.
AI already switched on	AI arrives inside software the firm already pays for, sometimes on by default. Karbon's is, for one.	List the platform AI in the same rule as the assistants, and set who can use it through roles and permissions.
A polished draft from a junior	An AI-assisted draft reaches the reviewer looking finished, and gets less scrutiny than a rough one would.	Note on the file when AI was used. The reviewer checks it the way they would check a first-year's work.

A rollout that holds up

The risk to manage first is staff using personal accounts because the firm hasn't given them an approved tool. Banning AI doesn't fix that. Closing the gap does, in this order.

Choose the approved tools and plans: one general assistant on a business plan, plus the AI already in your ledger and practice software. Set up SSO, retention and roles before anyone is invited, and turn off feedback sharing where the plan lets you.
Update the engagement letter. Say which AI tools the firm uses, for what, and where client data is stored, and get the client's permission in the same document.
Write the one-page rule: what may go into a prompt, what may not (tax file numbers, for a start), and who to ask when it is unclear. Our one-page AI policy template is a starting point.
Train on the firm's own documents, such as last year's advice letters and a real reconciliation, with client details taken out. Invented examples teach people to use AI on invented work.
Set the review rule and record it. Who checks AI-assisted work, what they check it against, and a line on the file saying AI was used.

Then start with one recurring task that takes real time, such as the covering letters at tax time or the monthly commentary for a management accounts client. Time it now, time it again once the team is using the tool, and let your own number decide what comes next.

How AIRE helps accounting firms

In an accounting firm the work product is a document: a return, a letter of advice, a set of management accounts, a file note. So our training runs on those documents. It also settles what client material may go into which tool, and who checks the output before it leaves the firm.

Our AI training for business teams is hands-on and live, on whichever assistant you already license: ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot. Team workshops start from $5,500 + GST for up to 8 people. Across our training, 97% of participants said they were likely to apply what they learned (Post-training survey, n=269, October 2025 to November 2026).

For the rule itself, our AI strategy consulting and governance work sets which plan to run on each tool, with settings your IT provider will sign off, and writes the one-page data-handling rule. Advisory work starts with a 90-minute AI use case session at $2,900 + GST.

Working out which tools your firm should approve? The discovery call is free and takes 30 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Can accountants use ChatGPT with client data?

Not on a personal account. The OAIC recommends against entering personal information into publicly available generative AI tools, and an article in CPA Australia's INPRACTICE quotes a member of its ethics and professional standards centre of excellence saying client data shouldn't go into a public-facing tool like ChatGPT. On ChatGPT Business, OpenAI says it doesn't train on your data by default. The Tax Practitioners Board still expects a client's permission before their information goes to a third party, and says entering it into an AI tool can count, depending on how the tool is configured and used. So put AI in the engagement letter and set a rule on what staff may paste in. This is general information, not professional advice.

Do we have to tell clients we use AI?

In practice, yes. The APESB's October 2025 technical alert says members should disclose when AI tools are used. For registered tax and BAS agents, the TPB says you need the client's permission before disclosing their information to a third party, that entering it into an AI tool can count, and recommends telling the client where the data will be stored and whether AI tools may be used. A signed engagement letter can carry that permission, so that is the natural place to say it. This is general information, not professional advice.

What does the Tax Practitioners Board say about AI?

Its guidance statement TPB(GS) 55/2026, issued on 22 July 2026, explains how the existing Code of Professional Conduct applies to AI. It adds no new obligations. Practitioners stay accountable for the accuracy of their advice, should verify AI output at each step of the workflow and document it, must get a client's permission before client information goes to a third party (which can include an AI tool), and should check that the AI tools they use keep information secure and meet the Privacy Act.

Can AI prepare a BAS or a tax return?

It can prepare parts of one. MYOB's AI BAS, in beta for its Lite and Pro customers, prepares the BAS as transactions come in, checks GST and flags anomalies, and MYOB recommends a trusted adviser reviews the output. Responsibility doesn't move. The TPB says practitioners remain responsible for the tax agent services they provide, and whether they took reasonable care depends partly on whether they checked the AI's output before relying on it.

Is there such a thing as an AI accountant?

Not one that can take responsibility for the work. Accounting software now does parts of the job: Xero's JAX categorises and matches high-confidence bank transactions, and MYOB's AI BAS, in beta, prepares BAS work as transactions come in and updates the books only when you approve. MYOB says the customer stays responsible for decisions made on AI suggestions, and the Tax Practitioners Board says tax practitioners remain ultimately responsible for the tax agent services they provide. The software prepares, and the accountant checks and signs off.

How do accountants use AI?

Mostly on the reading and writing around the numbers, and inside software they already use. Ledger AI in Xero and MYOB categorises and matches bank transactions, and MYOB and QuickBooks check GST before a BAS is lodged. Practice software such as Karbon and FYI summarises email and drafts replies, and Fathom writes management report commentary traced to the figures. General assistants on business plans, such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude, draft letters and summarise long documents. The Tax Practitioners Board expects practitioners to verify AI output at each step of the workflow and to document those checks.

Which AI tool should an accounting firm use?

Usually one general assistant on a business plan, plus the AI already inside your ledger and practice software. If the firm runs on Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot works inside Word, Excel and Outlook on files you already hold. ChatGPT Business and Claude Team are separate workspaces that people use for drafting and reading long documents. Whichever you choose, pick a plan whose terms say your data isn't used for training, and set it up before anyone uses it on client work.

Does Xero's JAX use client data to train AI?

Xero says it doesn't. Its JAX page says JAX chat doesn't use your data to train the large language models it relies on, that providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP process the data but don't retain it or train on it, and that JAX follows each user's Xero permissions. Your own obligations still apply to what you ask it and to what you do with the answer.

Is there a ChatGPT for accounting?

Not as a separate product. Accountants use a general assistant on a business plan, such as ChatGPT Business, Claude Team or Microsoft Copilot, for drafting and reading, and the AI built into their accounting software for the ledger work: Xero's JAX, MYOB's AI BAS (in beta) and the assistants inside practice software such as Karbon and FYI. The general assistant handles the words. The ledger software handles the numbers.

Will AI replace accountants in Australia?

Not under the current rules. The Tax Practitioners Board says practitioners remain responsible for the tax agent services they provide, and the APESB expects members to supervise the AI tools they use. What changes is the work. First drafts of letters and first passes at reconciliations are moving to software, and the accountant's time moves to checking and advice. The firms that gain are the ones whose people know how to brief the tools and check what comes back. This is general information, not professional advice.

How do I verify AI-generated tax advice before giving it to a client?

Treat it as a junior's draft. The Tax Practitioners Board says practitioners stay accountable for the accuracy of their advice and should verify AI output at each step of the workflow, then document those checks. Check every figure, rate and reference against the legislation, the ATO's guidance and the client's own records, and make sure the reviewer knows AI was used. Whether you took reasonable care depends partly on whether you reviewed the output before relying on it. This is general information, not professional advice.

How do I train staff to use a new AI accounting tool?

Set the tool up before anyone is invited, then train on the firm's own work. Choose the approved plan and configure access and retention first. Write a one-page rule on what may go into a prompt, and what may not (tax file numbers, for a start). Train on real documents with client details taken out, such as last year's advice letters and a real reconciliation. Then set the review rule: who checks AI-assisted work, what they check it against, and a line on the file saying AI was used.

Does AIRE train accounting firms?

Yes. We train accounting teams on ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini, on the firm's own documents, and settle what client material may go into which tool and who checks the output before it leaves the firm.
