Does Yes AI work with Reckon?

Yes. We build integrations and automation around Reckon for Australian small and medium businesses, whether you run Reckon One in the cloud or Reckon Accounts on the desktop or hosted. We connect it to the other tools you already use and automate the admin around it. At discovery we confirm exactly which Reckon products and versions you run and what you want connected.

What can be automated around Reckon?

The repetitive data movement and paperwork: creating invoices and customers from orders or your CRM, syncing payments and status both ways, sending invoices, receipts, statements and reminders automatically, pulling live figures into dashboards, flagging anything that will not reconcile, and running scheduled jobs like recurring invoices and end-of-day reconciling. If your team types the same thing into two systems, it is usually a candidate.

How long does it take?

Most projects go live in 2 to 6 weeks. The exact timeline depends on how many systems you are connecting and how clean the underlying data is. We phase it deliberately: map and design first, build against a sandbox, test in parallel with your current process, then cut over. A single, well-scoped integration is at the fast end; a broader multi-system build sits toward the longer end.

Is our data safe, and what about the Privacy Act?

Your financial and customer data moves over standard secure connections on dedicated service accounts, and we build and test against a sandbox or a safe copy before touching your live books. Where personal information moves between systems we document which fields sync, set sensible retention, and align with the Australian Privacy Principles. The engagement is run by Australian based consultants.

We scope every project up front so you know the number before we start. Strategy and build engagements begin at $1,000 for a focused piece of work (BASIC), $3,000 for a standard multi-step build (STANDARD) and $10,000 for a broader strategic engagement (STRATEGIC). After a short discovery we give you a fixed-scope spec and price for your specific integration, rather than an open-ended hourly bill.

Do we need in-house IT?

No. We own the whole build, the discovery, the field mapping, the connection, the testing and the support. You do not need a developer or an IT team on your side. We just need someone who knows how your business runs and access to the systems we are connecting, and we handle the technical work and hand over something your staff can use and understand.

What if we also use Xero or MYOB?

That is common, and it is fine. Plenty of Australian businesses run Reckon alongside Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks during a transition or across different entities. We can sync Reckon with those systems, or automate around all of them together, so the data stays consistent wherever it lives. At discovery we map which system owns what so nothing conflicts.

For Australian SMEs running Reckon

Reckon Integration and Automation (Stop Re-Keying, Start Syncing)

Plenty of Australian small businesses run Reckon for the books and the BAS, then spend hours every week copying the same figures into a CRM, a spreadsheet, an online store or a roster. The software is doing its job. The problem is everything that has to be typed twice around it, and the quiet errors that creep in when a tired human re-keys a total at 5pm.

We build the two-way connection between Reckon and the other tools your team already uses, then automate the workflows around it, so a new customer, a paid invoice, an online order or a timesheet flows through once and lands everywhere it needs to. Records stay in sync, the admin disappears, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Why Automate Around Reckon With Yes AI

Four reasons a connected, automated Reckon returns hours every week where a stock setup leaves your team re-keying data and chasing errors.

Two-way sync, not a nightly dump

A one-way export goes stale the moment someone edits the other system. We connect Reckon both ways to the tools that matter, so a new contact, a paid invoice or an updated customer record flows in both directions. You stop reconciling three versions of the same customer and start trusting one.

Tuned to how you actually work

Off-the-shelf connectors force your process to fit their template. We map your real workflow first, the way you raise invoices, chase payments, handle GST and move data between teams, then build the integration and automation around that. It fits your business, not a generic default.

Secure and Australian based

Your financial data moves over standard secure connections on dedicated service accounts, with the fields that sync documented in plain English. The engagement is run by Australian based consultants, and we align the handling of any personal information with the Australian Privacy Principles.

We own the whole build

You get one team for the discovery, the field mapping, the build, the testing and the support, not a connector you are left to configure and babysit yourself. When something changes, a new tool, a new field or a new rule, it is one call and usually a config change.

What the Reckon Integration and Automation Handles

Six ways we wire up Reckon so records stay in sync and the admin around it disappears.

Sync

Two-way record sync

Customers, invoices, payments and items sync both ways between Reckon and your CRM, online store or accounting-adjacent tools. Create a record once and it appears everywhere, with updates flowing in both directions.

Enter once

No more double entry

An online order, a signed quote or a new contact becomes a Reckon invoice or customer automatically, with GST applied correctly. Your team stops typing the same figures into two systems at the end of the day.

Auto-send

Automated documents and notifications

Invoices, receipts, statements and reminders generate and send themselves on the events you choose. A customer gets their invoice the moment the order is confirmed, and an overdue account triggers a polite chase without anyone remembering to send it.

Live view

Dashboards from live data

Cash position, outstanding invoices, sales by channel and BAS-relevant figures pulled from Reckon into a dashboard that refreshes itself. The numbers are ready before the meeting starts, without an export to a spreadsheet.

Flagged

Exception alerts

When something will not match or sync cleanly, a duplicate customer, a payment that does not tie out, a failed export, it is flagged for a quick human decision rather than failing silently. Nothing rots quietly in the background.

On schedule

Scheduled jobs

Recurring invoices, end-of-day reconciling, weekly reports and payroll-adjacent exports run on a schedule in the background. The routine work happens on time whether or not anyone is at their desk.

The Honest Realities of Integrating Reckon, and How We Handle Them

API rate limits and sync windows

Every connected system limits how many calls it will accept in a window. Our integration paces itself and batches where needed so it runs reliably within the limits Reckon and the connected tools set, without hammering either system or dropping records.

Field mapping and data hygiene come first

An integration is only as clean as the data underneath it. We map every field, agree how customers, items and tax codes match across systems, and clean up duplicates and malformed records before switching anything on. Building on messy data just spreads the mess faster.

One source of truth to avoid sync loops

When two systems both think they own the same field, they can fight and loop. We agree at the start which system owns which record, for example accounting owns the invoice and the CRM owns the sales relationship, so the sync reinforces one truth rather than ping-ponging changes back and forth.

Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles

Customer and staff details are personal information. Where personal data moves between systems we document which fields sync, keep it on secure connections you control, set sensible retention, and align with the Australian Privacy Principles. The engagement stays Australian based.

Sandbox testing and a parallel run before cutover

We build and test against a sandbox or a safe copy first, then run the new automation in parallel with your current process for a short period. You confirm the two agree before we cut over, so go-live is a non-event rather than a leap of faith.

Change management and staff training

The best integration fails if the team keeps doing it the old way. We document every automated rule in plain English, train the people who use it, and hand over something your staff understand and control, not a black box that does unexplained things to your books.

How Yes AI Delivers It

Discovery and integration map

We sit with your team and map how data actually moves today, where it gets re-keyed, where errors creep in, and which systems need to talk. You get a prioritised plan and a fixed-scope spec before any build begins.

Build and connect

We build the two-way integration between Reckon and your other tools and automate the workflows around it, invoicing, sync, notifications, reporting and scheduled jobs, tested against a sandbox or safe copy first.

Test and parallel run

We run the new automation alongside your current process on real data, reconcile the two, and tune the mapping and rules against real behaviour. Edge cases surface and get handled before anything goes live.

Go live and support

We cut over, monitor the integration, and handle change as your business grows, a new tool, a new field or a new rule. Most adjustments are a config change, and your team keeps full visibility of every rule.

Our 5-Step Reckon Rollout

Most Reckon integration and automation projects go live in 2 to 6 weeks, phased so a clean map and a safe test come before any cutover.

Discovery and mapping (week 1)

We map how data moves today and where it is re-keyed, agree which system owns which record, and document every field that needs to sync. You get a prioritised plan and a fixed-scope spec.

Design (week 1 to 2)

We design the integration and the automated workflows around Reckon: the sync rules, the documents that send themselves, the alerts and the scheduled jobs, all confirmed with you before a line is built.

Build in a sandbox (weeks 2 to 4)

We build and connect everything against a sandbox or a safe copy of your data, so nothing touches your live books until it is proven. GST and tax codes are handled correctly from the start.

Test and parallel run (week 4 to 5)

We run the new automation alongside your current process on real data, reconcile the two, and tune the mapping and rules until they agree. You sign off before cutover.

Go live and monitor

We cut over, monitor the sync and the automations, and handle change as things evolve. Most later adjustments are a config change, and your team keeps full visibility.
