Overview
Shieldflow helps Australian accounting firms automate the ongoing AML/CTF monitoring work that begins after a client is onboarded.
Connect selected Xero organisations securely and read only. Shieldflow reviews relevant accounting activity on an ongoing basis, surfaces explainable exceptions and material risk changes for review, and retains evidence of findings, decisions and follow up actions.
What Shieldflow helps your firm do
- Reduce repetitive manual transaction review across multiple client files
- Identify unusual activity and changes that may require attention
- Focus your team on exceptions rather than reviewing every transaction manually
- Keep a clear, auditable record of monitoring, reviews and decisions
- Support periodic reporting and ongoing customer due diligence workflows
- Keep professional judgement with your accountants and AML/CTF compliance team
Shieldflow is designed to work alongside your existing onboarding, KYC and practice systems rather than forcing a rip and replace. Your team remains responsible for reviewing findings and deciding what action is appropriate.
Built for Australian accounting practices operating under Tranche 2 AML/CTF obligations.
Shieldflow + Xero
Shieldflow connects to Xero using secure OAuth 2.0 and read only permissions.
Once an authorised user connects a Xero organisation, Shieldflow retrieves the relevant accounting data required for the monitoring workflow, including contacts, invoices and bank transactions. Shieldflow does not create, edit or delete transactions in Xero.
The integration is designed for accounting firms managing multiple client organisations:
- Connect each selected Xero organisation from the Shieldflow portal.
- Shieldflow establishes a monitoring baseline from the available accounting activity.
- Relevant activity is reviewed on an ongoing basis against Shieldflow's monitoring rules and risk logic.
- Explainable exceptions and material changes are surfaced for professional review.
- Findings, review outcomes and supporting evidence are retained in Shieldflow for audit and compliance purposes.
Shieldflow's risk outcomes are driven by defined monitoring logic, with readable explanations provided to help the reviewer understand why an item was surfaced. Final compliance decisions remain with the accounting firm.
The integration is read only. Shieldflow does not write monitoring decisions, reports or changes back into Xero, and Xero API data is not used to train or fine tune AI models.
