Keeping books shouldn't require knowing accounting
We're a Sydney-based AI and data consultancy. We built Zympli because the mechanical half of accounting can now be done by a machine — and because the other half, the half that carries a registration, is worth routing back to the people who hold one.
Why we built this
Across finance, health insurance, and supply chain, we kept seeing the same problem: skilled professionals spending a significant portion of their time on mechanical data work — not because they wanted to, but because there was no better option.
In accounting it showed up twice over. Firms were paying people to read PDFs and re-key them into spreadsheets, month after month. And the businesses those firms served mostly weren't keeping books at all — because the software assumes you already know how, and most owners don't.
So we built the machine to do the mechanical half — read the document, build the ledger, show its working — and designed the product to hand the other half back to a qualified human at exactly the point it stops being mechanical.
Zympli is a product of DigitalPath AI, a Sydney-based AI and data consultancy.

Where your data lives, and why we only serve one country
A generic global product would serve this market worse. GST, a June year end, and the way Australian banks format a statement are not settings — they are the shape of the whole engine.
Your documents stay in Australia
Statements, invoices and the ledger built from them are stored on Australian infrastructure. We do not send financial data offshore for storage.
Built for one country, on purpose
AUD, a financial year that ends in June, parsers for the major Australian banks, and chart-of-accounts and rule templates shaped around local industries.
Who can see a set of books
Members of your organization. A firm would see them through an explicit engagement, with consent and revocation as first-class parts of the design — a feature still being built.
Australian records generally have to be kept for five years whatever software produced them. Zympli is not where they are filed — it is where they are still attached to the figure they explain.
Four positions, and what they cost us
Not values written for a website. Each one closes a door that would otherwise be open — a bigger market, a shared model, an answer we could have given, a second country.
Producing a ledger shouldn't require knowing accounting
Accounting software sells a ledger to people who already know how to keep one. That is a small market wearing the clothes of a large one — most ABN holders can't code a transaction, and the ones who can are paying someone else to do it.
Judgement should compound for whoever did the work
Every correction a firm makes becomes a permanent rule or a curated example in that firm's own library — not training data for a shared model its competitors also get. Accumulated judgement belongs to the people who accumulated it.
The limit is the product, not the apology
There is a line where facts about your books end and tax advice begins, and in Australia that line is the law. We would rather stop at it and put a registered accountant in front of you — with your file already prepared — than pretend it isn't there.
One country, done properly
Australian bank formats, GST, a financial year that ends in June, chart-of-accounts templates shaped around local industries, and documents that stay onshore. Not a product built elsewhere with the spelling changed.
Where the product is today
We are in early access and some of what is described on this page is not finished. Rather than leave you to find out which parts, here is the whole list.
Running in production
- Documents in — extracted, classified, reviewed
- Chart of accounts, templated by industry
- Rules engine, running ahead of the AI
- Review queue with live progress
- Balance Sheet, P&L, General Ledger, FY statements
- The workspace accounting firms use for their clients
Being built now
- The self-managed experience for a business keeping its own books — it works, but it still wears the shape of the firm product
- Provider connections, the prerequisite for any agent turn at all
Designed and priced, not built
- The agent that operates the platform and explains what it did
- Access from your own AI client, over MCP
- The link between a business and its accountant, with consent and scope
- Escalation to an accountant-validated position
A working engine, a designed business, and the layer between them still to build. That is the honest position, and it is why we are asking for your email rather than your card.
Still deciding?
The fastest way to judge this is to put one real month of books through it. Early access is open, and the free plan needs no card.
