Stay in the black.
Financial management for Australian businesses in every industry. Accounting, BAS, payroll and cash flow, held to the standard of an institution and simple enough to run yourself.
An example business, for illustration.
Most accounting software holds your numbers and gives nothing back. Angus Shield tells you where you stand, and what to do next.
Built by operators who have run businesses with a BAS due, not by developers who haven't. Our work is to keep you in profit so you can return to what you do best.
Why is everything so bloody hard?
Why can't a business run with zero admin staff? Everything done virtually, and the only people who matter are the ones doing and leading the work.
Doing the work. Hours, receipts and expenses captured from their phone as they go.
Runs the work and the team. Sees what is over, what is due and who is ready to go.
Navigates. Reads where the business stands and decides where it goes next.
Not required. Angus Shield does the books, the BAS, payroll and the chasing.
It's your money. Make your own decisions.
One set of numbers, already worked out, in plain language.
Nothing to build and nothing to interpret. You can see whether you're in the black and what needs attention, and the call is yours.
Five questions every owner asks. Answered continuously.
Profitability by job, client or product line, with weekly and monthly P&Ls and a quarterly sign-off.
Every expense is captured at the point of spend on the Angus Card. No paper receipts, no reconciliation at quarter end.
Award interpretation, penalties, allowances, deductions, Payday Super and STP Phase 2 on every run. Pay is always right.
GST input credits, fuel tax credits, asset write-offs, employment incentives, rebates and grants, identified as they are earned.
Who's paying you, who you're paying, and when. Late payers get a polite reminder automatically.
The wrong thing is made difficult. The right thing, automatic.
Angus Shield prevents errors rather than reporting them after the fact. When something looks unusual, it asks a considered question.
The balance available is 22.8 hours. This request is for 38 hours and would take the balance below zero.
Keep your current system. Retire it when you are ready.
Link Xero or MYOB in minutes. Nothing changes for your team or your accountant. You keep every login.
Angus Shield learns your clients, payments and history while your existing system keeps running.
When every record is accounted for, we tell you. You switch the old system off and nothing changes, except the invoice.
Yes or no.
Angus Shield connects automatically to every SPEC Business Solutions product, including Site VIP. No APIs to find, nothing to configure. Say yes and it works immediately.
Jobs, hours, quotes and invoices are flowing now. Nothing else to set up.
Angus Shield runs on its own. When you're ready, it's the same single question.
Security comes before features.
Its own codebase, infrastructure and security boundary, separate from every other product.
The security and compliance groundwork is done before a single feature ships. Features wait for it, never the other way round.
No other software sees your numbers unless you approve it. Every access is logged and can be withdrawn.
If it's not simple, you don't pay.
- 01Tap "Not simple?" on any screen and tell us what got in your way.
- 02That month is free. No forms, no argument.
- 03We fix it, and tell you when it's done.
Angus Shield is being built now, security first. Accounts open when that work is done.
