Questions, answered
The details that matter.
Who is Chart for?
Chart is designed for Australian small businesses and accounting practices that want a focused bookkeeping and reporting workspace.
Does Chart lodge BAS or provide tax advice?
No. Chart helps maintain accounting records and prepare GST/BAS figures. Lodgement and professional advice remain the responsibility of the business and its registered adviser.
How is the subscription charged?
A$240 including GST is charged per organisation for one year of access. The subscription renews annually unless cancelled before renewal.
Is there a separate fee for the accounting practice?
No. Accounting-practice users can be invited to client organisations without a separate practice access fee. Each client organisation requires its own annual Chart subscription.
Does Chart currently include automatic bank feeds?
No. Bank transactions are currently imported from CSV, then coded, matched and reconciled in Chart. Businesses that depend on connected bank feeds may be better suited to Xero today.
Can I export my accounting data?
Yes. Chart includes accounting-data export tools so authorised users can retain a copy of their records.
