For Financial Controllers, Business Managers, and Finance Leads

Built for the people who
run finance and operations together.

Month-end without the late-night reconciliation.

You own the sync between the operational systems and the accounting ledger. Variations approved by the PM have to land in Xero correctly. Retentions held by the QS have to show up in the right liability bucket. Self-billed tax invoices (RCTI in AU, BCTI in NZ) have to get the GST treatment right. You can't trust the spreadsheet bridge. Deep Space gives you one platform where the commercial register and the accounting sync are the same source of truth.

Your day, on paper

What your day actually looks like

You're the bridge. The CA processes the transaction. You make sure it lands in the right ledger.

Run month-end and reconcile
Approve POs above the threshold the CA can issue
Sign off on payment schedules before they go to the bank
Manage the Xero or MYOB sync
Generate compliance reports (QBCC in QLD, GST returns, Payment Times)
Sit between the CFO and the operational commercial team
Defend the trial balance to the auditor

The CFO asks you for the report. The PM asks you for the cashflow position. Both want the same number to mean the same thing. Today it doesn't, because the sync is a spreadsheet.

"Every compliance report I need to generate ends up being an Excel job at month-end. There has to be a way to have the system do this."

The real problem

What you're dealing with

Operations runs on one system. Finance runs on another. The bridge between them is a spreadsheet that someone built years ago, and the variance shows up at month-end.

1
Two sources of truth that don't agree

Operations says the variation is approved. Xero says the PO is still open. The number on the cost report and the number on the trial balance don't match. You spend the first week of month-end finding where the gap is.

2
Self-billed tax invoices with hand-built GST

Tax invoice (RCTI in AU, BCTI in NZ) generated in Word. GST treatment depends on the supplier's registration. Retention treatment depends on the head contract. One wrong line and the BAS or GST return is wrong, and the sub has a real complaint.

3
Compliance reporting assembled by hand

QBCC report in Queensland. Payment Times Reporting at the federal level. GST returns for both jurisdictions. Each one a different export, each one done in Excel, each one taking a day.

4
Sync errors found by the auditor

The auditor finds the variance. You spend two weeks tracing where the reconciliation broke. It usually turns out to be a manual journal someone made three months ago, undocumented.

The fix

How Deep Space helps Financial Controllers

One platform for operations and finance. The commercial register and the accounting sync share the same source of truth.

Xero and MYOB Sync

Bidirectional, audited, reconciled in real time. Variations approved in the platform land in the ledger correctly. POs match invoices match payment schedules.

  • Live bidirectional sync, not a nightly export
  • Variations push to Xero or MYOB on approval, with the audit trail
  • Retentions held in the correct liability bucket automatically
  • Sync exceptions surfaced immediately, with one-click reconciliation
  • Audit trail on every transaction, traceable to the operational decision
Replaces today

Manual export-import cycles, the trial balance variance investigation, the journal entry that nobody documented.

Self-Billed Tax Invoice Generation

Tax invoices (RCTI in AU, BCTI in NZ) generated automatically from certified claims, with the right GST treatment per supplier and per contract.

  • Tax invoice generated from the certified claim, not built in Word
  • GST treatment driven by supplier registration and contract terms
  • Retention applied gross or net per the head contract rules
  • BAS-ready and GST-return-ready exports
  • Audit trail attached to every invoice
Replaces today

Hand-built tax invoice templates, GST errors at BAS time, the dispute that comes from a wrong line.

Payment Schedules

Generated from certified claims, audited end-to-end. The bank file ready to go. The payment timing matched to the contractual terms.

  • Payment schedule generated from approved claims
  • Contractual payment terms applied automatically
  • Bank file export ready for upload
  • Payment Times Reporting compliance built in
  • Cashflow forecast updated as schedules are confirmed
Replaces today

The Excel payment schedule, the manual bank file build, the Payment Times Reporting compiled by hand.

Compliance Reporting

QBCC, GST, payroll tax, Payment Times Reporting. Generated from live operational data. One export, not a week of Excel.

  • QBCC report (Queensland) generated from live data
  • GST returns for AU and NZ jurisdictions
  • Payment Times Reporting (federal AU) automated
  • Payroll tax exports per state
  • Compliance calendar with reminders ahead of each deadline
Replaces today

The week per quarter spent on QBCC, the GST return assembled in Excel, the Payment Times Reporting forgotten until it's late.

Audit Trail and Trial Balance Defence

Every transaction in Deep Space traces back to the operational decision and forward to the accounting entry. When the auditor asks, you send a link, not an explanation.

  • Every commercial decision logged with date, person, evidence
  • Trace from operational record to accounting entry in one click
  • Manual journal entries flagged and required to reference source
  • Audit-ready export per period or per transaction type
  • ISO27001-certified platform, SOC 2 controls
Replaces today

The two-week trail-tracing exercise when the auditor finds a variance, the undocumented journal entry, the spreadsheet bridge that nobody understands anymore.
