Overview
Prosaic enables small businesses and sole traders to instantly find and claim a range of business expenses - like home office, motor vehicle or subscriptions - from personal bank, card and loan accounts. And with real-time visibility for accountants and bookkeepers, you can start returns on your schedule without waiting for clients to complete year-end worksheets or send bank statements.
Simply sign up, connect secure feeds from any number of personal accounts via trusted open banking partner Akahu, then use Prosaic's fast interface and powerful AI to review and post your first expense claim to Xero in minutes.
Prosaic can also retrieve up to two years of transaction history (depending on bank provider), enabling back-dated expense claims for a full financial year.
