Sterling is an Agent Assistant Accountant designed to eliminate the repetitive, manual, accuracy-critical work that slows finance teams down. Instead of forcing teams to re-engineer processes or adopt a new ERP, Sterling works alongside your existing systems—especially Xero—to automate the 60% of finance tasks that are essential but time-consuming.

Finance teams spend too much time preparing numbers before they can analyse them. Reconciliations, coding, accruals, data checks, evidence collection, and report preparation consume capacity that could be better spent on insight, partnering with the business, and decision-making. Sterling takes on this preparation layer reliably and consistently, at a fraction of the cost of additional headcount.

What Sterling Does

• Automates routine accounting workflows including reconciliations, account coding, accrual schedules, journal preparation, evidence packaging, and month-end activities.
• Handles the administrative and data-prep layer so teams can move straight to review and analysis.
• Works natively with Xero, pulling required data and applying your organisation’s accounting logic, workflows, and approval rules.
• Executes tasks with accountant-level accuracy, improving consistency and auditability.
• Fits into existing processes, avoiding the disruption common with ERP add-ons or traditional RPA tools.
