AI automation in Canberra: one workflow at a time, at a fixed price
I am Renzo Demartini, a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) based in Canberra. I design and build AI automation for Canberra businesses that run on jobs, forms and invoices, one workflow at a time, at fixed prices published on this site. Every engagement runs remotely, and I build every workflow myself.
Fixed price, AUD, no GST charged.

Every engagement runs remotely. No on-site meetings.
An AI automation builder who works from Canberra
Search for AI automation in Canberra and most of the firms you find are based interstate, with a page for each city they serve. I work from here.
I will be straight about what that means. Being in Canberra doesn't mean I come to your site: every engagement runs remotely, on calls and with shared access to the systems we agree. What it does mean:
- The same working day Your office hours, your public holidays and your end-of-month crunch are mine too, so a call is never at an odd hour for either of us.
- One person, start to finish I run the audit, design the workflow, build it, test it and write the hand-over notes. There is no account manager and no offshore build team between you and the work.
- An accountant reading your accounts I am a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ), MBA and Xero certified. When a workflow touches invoices, bills, GST codes or job costs, I read them the way your accountant would.
- Prices you can see now Every build has a fixed price on this page and on the pricing page. You know the number before the first call.
This page is about building one workflow at a time. For AI consulting across the whole business in Canberra, see AI consulting in Canberra on renzodemartini.com.
Workflow automation for Canberra businesses that run on jobs and invoices
I build for businesses where the same details get typed into two or three systems every week: trades, landscaping, automotive, transport and professional services. The work usually sits between job software and the accounts.
Simpro
ServiceM8
AroFlo
- Forms and email
Your workflow, with a person approving
Xero
- MYOB
- Reports and alerts
I keep the software you already pay for. If an existing feature or built-in connection already solves the problem, I say so in the audit and you don't need a build. I have fixed Simpro-to-Xero sync problems for clients, built a supplier bill approval workflow on MYOB and connected n8n to the Simpro API.
Paid work: KPI automation for two named businesses
Paid client work Elliotts Landscape and Harrys Tyres. Two builds, one for each business. Both businesses agreed to be named.
Both businesses are in the Riverina, in southern New South Wales, and I ran both builds remotely.
For each business I built a Jotform KPI form, Airtable for employee details and the KPI calculations, and n8n to process each submission. n8n reads the employee's details, sends automatic emails to the employee and to management, and writes the final KPI back to Airtable.
About 4 hourseach month, at each businessUsed to take about 4 hours each month and countless emails. Now it's a click of a button: the manager submits the review and everything after that is automatic.
Not measured: revenue and financial return. The 4 hours is time saved, not cash saved. 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.
Five builds, each at a fixed price
Each build has written acceptance criteria, a 50% deposit, 50% on hand-over and 30 days of fixes. AUD, no GST charged.
- Workflow Audit (credited to a build signed within 30 days)A$9905 working days
- Invoice CheckA$3,9002–3 weeks
- Supplier Bill ApprovalFrom A$3,9002–3 weeks
- Enquiry and Quote Follow-upA$4,9003 weeks
- KPI ReportA$4,9003 weeks
- Job Profit ReportA$5,9003–4 weeks
- Invoice Check: Job invoices from Simpro, ServiceM8 or AroFlo checked before they reach Xero or MYOB.
- Supplier Bill Approval: Supplier bills checked for duplicates and mismatches, then a person approves each one.
- Enquiry and Quote Follow-up: Every enquiry sorted and given a draft reply that your staff approve.
- KPI Report: A KPI form becomes a calculated, emailed and filed KPI in one click.
- Job Profit Report: Weekly job profit from your job software, reconciled to Xero or MYOB.
Supplier Bill Approval is scoped from Invoice Check, so its fixed quote comes in your audit. A workflow across your own mix of tools is a custom build, from A$9,500. Running costs (software and AI usage) are estimated in your audit, before you commit to a build.
How a remote engagement runs
A workflow audit.
A 60-minute call, a read-only review of your systems and a written report in 5 working days, with the top 3 things worth automating and a fixed quote for each. A$990, credited in full to a build signed within 30 days. How the audit works
A build you can check.
We agree the acceptance criteria in writing, including the odd cases: missing details, duplicates and a failed connection. I build in accounts in your name and test against those criteria.
Hand-over, then 30 days of fixes.
You get the workflow, the hand-over notes and 30 days of fixes. Support after that is optional, from A$350 a month.

Questions from Canberra businesses
Can we meet in person in Canberra?
No. I am based in Canberra, but every engagement runs remotely: the audit call, the reviews and the hand-over.
Do you only work with Canberra businesses?
No. I work remotely with businesses across Australia and New Zealand, at the same prices.
Do you charge GST?
No. Prices are in Australian dollars, and no GST is added to them.
Is our data safe?
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.
