Move your books across
Import from Xero: chart of accounts, contacts and full history, reconciled against the source trial balance. From QuickBooks Online: chart of accounts, contacts and transaction history.
Built for how Australian businesses actually keep their books
From a single cafe to an accounting practice with many client files, Kumry brings bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, approvals, reporting and GST/BAS preparation into one place. Here is how it works for four different kinds of business.
Approve what posts
A double-entry ledger where each posting records who approved it. Each posted entry is linked to the one before it, so later changes show up.
Prepare GST and BAS
Kumry prepares GST and BAS figures you can trace back to transactions. You, or your agent, lodge with the ATO.
How Kumry fits different businesses
Industry walkthroughs describing how the product handles each kind of business. They are not stories about named customers.
Hospitality
A cafe or restaurant group
Several sites, daily takings, a long list of suppliers and staff costs every week.
- Bring the books across from Xero, reconciled to the cent against the source trial balance, or bring the chart of accounts, contacts and transaction history from QuickBooks Online.
- Bring in the business bank transactions and reconcile takings and supplier payments against them.
- Enter supplier bills, approve them and record payments, each posting with its approval trail.
- Prepare the BAS from the period’s transactions, with each GST figure traceable to what makes it up.
BAS preparation starts from reconciled books rather than a shoebox.
Construction
A contractor with subcontractors
Jobs that run for months, progress claims, subcontractor bills and a lender who wants clean records.
- Set up each job as a project with its own budget and draft progress claims against it.
- Code subcontractor bills to the right job so project reporting follows the work.
- Keep the signed migration certificate from the import: it records what moved and what was flagged.
- Produce a profit and loss, balance sheet and aged payables when the bank or an adviser asks.
Records you can hand over without reconstructing them first.
Healthcare
An allied-health practice
GST-free treatment income alongside taxable retail sales, and documents from many sources.
- Apply the right GST code when a transaction is recorded, so GST-free and taxable income stay separate.
- Attach invoices and receipts to transactions; documents are virus-scanned on upload.
- Review anything ambiguous before it posts instead of discovering it at year end.
- Run the GST report for the period and see which transactions sit behind each amount.
Tax treatment is settled as you go, not reconstructed at quarter end.
Professional services
An accounting practice
Many client files, staff working across them, and clients who ask how a number was reached.
- Work across client files from the practice console.
- Use delegated access and advisor codes so a client can invite the practice without sharing a password.
- Every posting carries who approved it and when, so a review starts from the trail rather than from questions.
- Prepare each client’s BAS in Kumry; the business or its registered agent lodges it with the ATO.
Show a client how a figure was arrived at instead of asking them to take it on trust.
See it with your own books
The quickest way to judge Kumry is to watch it handle your own data: import a copy of your books, compare the trial balance, and walk through a BAS period.
