Cotrugli
An AI-native bookkeeping business, built by acquiring Australian firms and running them on a proprietary agentic ledger.
Australia · 2026 · Confidential
Bookkeeping is high-trust, high-margin, and stuck doing it by hand.
Thousands of small Australian firms reconcile transactions, draft BAS, and lodge to the ATO largely manually. The work is repetitive and rules-bound, yet labour is the cost line that scales 1:1 with clients. Owners are ageing out with no succession.
Agents can finally do the rules-bound 90%, under review.
Reconciliation, BAS preparation, and categorisation are bounded, auditable tasks. Modern agents do them in seconds with a confidence score, and a registered agent reviews every lodgement before it leaves. The trust relationship stays human; the labour does not.
Buy the firm. Keep the brand. Run it on the ledger.
We acquire established bookkeeping firms with sticky client bases, then migrate their back office onto the Cotrugli agentic ledger. Clients keep the firm they trust; we replace the manual cost base underneath it.
Profitable AU firms, recurring revenue, owner seeking exit or succession.
Migrate onto the agentic ledger: reconcile in minutes, BAS in seconds.
Margin expands per firm; each acquisition makes the system better.
