You run Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks and the tools around them. I take one workflow your team does by hand every week and build it once, at a fixed price. Rules and Claude do the checking; your team approves anything odd. From A$3,900, built by Renzo Demartini, Chartered Accountant.
Works Better builds one workflow at a time, at a fixed price. Whole-business change across several systems, strategy and boards is renzodemartini.com.
Trades and field service first, then accounting and law firms, wholesalers, online stores, manufacturers and clinics. The test isn’t your industry: it’s admin done by hand, the same way, every week.
The work happens in the field, on the floor or on the phone. The admin happens later, somewhere else.
A closed job is typed into Xero or MYOB again, often when the day is over.
What a job made, or how the team went this month, means lining up three places by hand.
They arrive while the team is busy. The reply, the quote and the follow-up all wait.
Repeat tasks with clear rules are good candidates for automation. A person still checks the parts that matter.
Two paid builds for named clients, and two deliverables you can open now. Where a figure wasn't measured, I don't quote one.

About 48 hours a year back at each business, by my estimate. That is time, not cash.
Both businesses agreed to be named. The 4 hours is my estimate of the monthly effort before each build. Revenue and dollars saved were not measured.

About RenzoThe same approach runs an agentic finance system I built: 30 agents, about 10,000 automated tests, and a person approves every money decision.
The 5 working days start once read-only access is granted. How the audit works
Your job software and your accounts don't check each other. I build the check, as an accountant would. Prices in AUD, no GST charged. Each build says where a person approves.

Hours saved and dollars saved are counted apart. Beside them are the running costs: optional support from A$350 a month, and software and AI usage paid to the providers. Running costs (software and AI usage) are estimated in your audit, before you commit to a build. The payback lines above count cash only, and the audit's report puts hours beside them separately.
Send the form with your software, the workflow, your team size and your timing. I reply by email, usually with a question or two, and tell you whether it's a fit. No call needed. If it is, the next step is the A$990 Workflow Audit.

Claude reads both. Claude, Anthropic's AI model, turns the quote and the job into the same fields. It decides nothing.
Plain rules match them, line by line. The same checks every time. The customer, labour and materials match. One charge was never on the quote.

Before anyone bills it, Claude checks with the tech. Sam did the job, so Sam knows what the customer asked for.
The office decides. You choose: approve the $180 or leave it off. Claude and the rules only bring it to you.

Hi Tom,
Your invoice for job 1042 is attached: $2,838.00 incl. GST.
One item was not on quote 20010: the extra outlet in the garage you asked Sam for on site. It is $180.00 plus $18.00 GST, so $198.00 more than the quote. Everything else matches the quote.
Thanks, Jess

End of the day Every closed job is checked before its draft invoice reaches Xero, whether your existing integration or the build creates it. Only the mismatches wait for you, with the tech's answer and a note from Claude.
A$198 caught on one job in the sample run: an extra outlet nobody quoted, found before the invoice went. That is cash on one sample job, not a promise.
Cash on one sample job, not hours. Running costs are with the prices above.

At the end of the day The routine work is done and filed. Only the exceptions are waiting for you, each with Claude's note on why.
Claude does
Reads PDFs, emails and job notes. Sorts, summarises and drafts. Explains why something was flagged.
Rules do
Match totals, find duplicates, check codes and limits. The same way every time.
You do
Approve money and anything a customer sees. Decide the exceptions. Nothing is paid or sent outside the rules you agree.
Product names belong to their owners. Listed only to show what I work with. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.
Yes. The audit is read-only, and we agree that access before any work starts. Builds run in accounts in your name, so your data stays in your systems. Claude runs through business API access, where your data isn't used to train models, and every AI service is named in the written scope before work starts.
Please don't send passwords or confidential records through the enquiry form. How your details are handled is explained in the privacy policy.
No. I use business API access, where your data isn't used for model training, and I name every AI service in the written scope before work starts.
You do. It runs in accounts in your name (n8n, Zapier, Airtable), and you get the logins and a written handover.
Every build ships with handover documentation another developer can follow, and runs on mainstream tools, not code only I understand.
No. Trades and field service are where most of my examples come from. Accounting and law firms, wholesalers, online stores, manufacturers and clinics have the same kind of repeat admin. The test is not your industry. It is whether the same steps are done by hand again and again, and whether a person can check the parts that matter.
Tell me what you use. The audit starts with the software you already have and checks what it can already do. The usual names are listed under Works with above, and most others with an API or an export can be connected. If your setup is a poor fit, I will say so in the audit.
Yes. The builds are offered for Xero and MYOB, at the same prices. I have done MYOB client work, including a Tanda to MYOB link, MYOB charts of accounts, KPI reporting, and month-end and year-end. My published case studies so far are on Xero, and I am Xero certified.
No. Anything that goes to a customer, posts or pays waits for a person. In Simpro to Xero invoice checks, exceptions wait in a queue for a person. In automated quote follow-up, AI drafts the reply and your staff approve it before it goes. Internal notices, such as the KPI Report's emails to staff, can go automatically once you've agreed them.
You get 30 days of fixes. The acceptance criteria are written down before the build starts, so both of us know what ‘done’ means. After that, a support plan is optional: Care is A$350 a month, with 30 days' notice to cancel.
Yes. I work remotely across Australia and New Zealand. Prices are in Australian dollars, and New Zealand clients are quoted in Australian dollars. How I work with New Zealand businesses
