How bookkeepers are handling BAS with an AI agent
Toby Banks — Founder, Skillzy
The dispatch
New listings, creator interviews, the occasional discount. Every other Friday.
BAS time is not hard. It is just relentless — chasing receipts, coding the odd ones, reconciling, then sanity-checking before lodging. A bookkeeper running a dozen clients does that loop a dozen times a quarter.
What gets automated
- Receipts in from email and photo, parsed and coded
- Outliers flagged for a human, not silently guessed
- A reconciliation pass with the discrepancies listed plainly
- A BAS-ready summary you review, not one that lodges itself
The line we hold
The agent prepares. A human lodges. Anything touching a tax authority should have a person who signs off — the skill is built to stop at exactly that line, on purpose.

Reading the contract and writing the proposal are the slow, expensive bookends of every deal.
AI for agencies: client updates and content that ship themselves
Two things eat agency margin: the weekly update nobody has time for, and content that never gets repurposed.
AI for photographers: shoot to invoice without the chase
The shoot is the easy part. The enquiry, the booking, the gallery, the invoice — that is the business.
