I am an Australian Chartered Accountant with a B.Comm. and over 30 years accounting. I am a retired tax agent but still very up to date on company tax law. I am a Xero Level 3 Certified Specialist Advisor, Xero Gold Partner, registered BAS and ASIC agent. I offer a virtual Chief Financial Officer service and provide a complete bookkeeping service, accounting, monthly reporting , BAS and taxation advice. I can streamline and dramatically speed up coding bank transactions using Xero tools to make this a very quick job daily or weekly. I can write customised reports to highlight different aspects of your results.
I am a virtual CFO for a number of clients who have access to my qualifications, expertise and experience on as "as needed" basis so a far more economical way using an experienced CFO who are normally employed on a full time basis. In most cases it is less than 1 - 3 hours per week.
I have done a number of due diligence jobs for clients buying a business and often have to do a level of forensic accounting to fully understand the business and ensure the figures being presented are accurate. In every case I have I have found significant issues that enabled the buyer to secure a large discount on the original sale price.
My skills and expertise includes:
• Balance sheet reconciliations and sorting out accounts for clients prior to completing and filing their quarterly BAS statements, prepare accounts ready for the tax agent and frequently negotiate repayment arrangements with the Tax Office for tax debts, regularly achieving major reductions from previous repayment arrangements.
• Converting manual records to Xero and doing Xero set up work. I aim to have my clients obtain a clear picture of how their business is travelling at any stage in the accounting year and to have a better understanding of their financial position.
• Organising new company and Trust registrations and advising on the setting up of any businesses in Australia. I know how to navigate the maze of statutory, taxation, transfer pricing, intercompany charges and regulatory requirements to become operational.
• I have done forensic accounting and written reports to be submitted in Court evidence as an accountant expert for clients involved in Court action against their business partners.
I have many excellent references, recent examples:

Hi, I'm Raghave 👋
I've saved my clients 1,000+ hours of manual work by building AI automation systems that handle the repetitive tasks killing their week: anything from lead gen and client onboarding to document automation, content pipelines, and custom internal tools.
Recent Wins:
→ $60k+ savings for a financial advisory firm in Australia.
→ $50k saved for a legal firm needing to hire an additional admin staff member.
→ 10+ hours saved weekly for business by automating stripe invoices
I work across Make, n8n, Claude, GPT-4, and Zapier, and I build custom API integrations when off-the-shelf connectors don't cut it. From quick single-workflow builds to end-to-end systems connecting 10+ tools, I've shipped it.
The longer version (if you've got a minute):
Pleasure to meet you! I'm Raghave 👋 an Automation Strategist who builds AI-powered systems for businesses that are tired of paying humans to do robot work.
Over the past few years I've built dozens of automations across industries like financial services, marketing agencies, e-commerce, professional services, with one common thread: the client was bleeding hours on admin that didn't need a human touch.
A few of my favourite recent builds:
- Document automation pipelines: auto-generating contracts, application forms, and reports from CRM data, with AI-driven proofreading and signature placement
- Client onboarding systems: end-to-end flows from enquiry to fully onboarded, including payment forms, briefs, and CMS integrations
- Automated follow-up sequences: multi-touch email/SMS nurture for leads, signatures, and re-engagement
- Custom API integrations: connecting tools that don't talk to each other natively (think SharePoint ↔ Make↔ pdfco ↔ CRMs ↔ accounting platforms)
- AI-powered content & data extraction: pulling structured data out of PDFs, emails, and unstructured docs at scale
Tools I work with daily: Make, n8n, Zapier, Claude, GPT-4, pdfco, SharePoint, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Monday, ClickUp, Notion plus most major CRMs, accounting tools, and practice management platforms. If a tool has an API, I can integrate it.
Every build comes with 4 weeks of post-launch support because edge cases don't always show up on day one, and you shouldn't have to chase me down when they do.
