Chantelle Quick
Introducing Astimo
Astimo provides outsourced financial solutions — from bookkeeping through to CFO — to businesses across a range of industries. Astimo is a growing, referral-only firm. They work closely with tax agents, lawyers, and bankers to build the right client base, and their team operates virtually, supporting clients all over Australia.
As Managing Director, Chantelle is responsible for meeting with business owners to discuss budgets, strategy and operations, reviewing bills, and helping clients implement new systems and processes.

Mayday for Intercompany
Mayday is a game-changer for group companies, especially those with multi-entity, multi-currency requirements. I love the time saved on intercompany reconciliations, revaluations, and recharges. Everything is centralised — no need to jump between Xero orgs.

Autoentry for OCR
AutoEntry is excellent for invoice processing, especially because it captures line-item detail. That granularity is essential for accurate reporting and allows for specific account coding and tracking category allocation.

ApprovalMax for Approvals & PO
We use Approvalmax for invoice approvals, purchase orders, and even manual journals. As a reviewer, I spend most of my time here. It empowers clients with ownership and visibility, so our month-end meetings aren’t spent fixing coding issues — they’re focused on decision-making.

Cin7 for Inventory
Cin7 is our go-to inventory tool for clients. It’s highly customisable. In health industries, we can track batch numbers, expiry dates, patient info, etc., while still giving clear stock visibility. On the other end, it handles large product catalogues with ease, taking the complexity out of inventory management.

Employment Hero for HR
EmploymentHero is critical for clients with more complex HR and compliance needs.

ClickUp for Internal Operations
While ClickUp is not in the Xero ecosystem, this program is vital for internal operations. We use it for task management and process documentation. So much of our work is repeatable, and ClickUp ensures consistency, clarity, and accountability across the team.

Ignition for Proposals & Billing
We use Ignition for client engagement, pricing, invoicing, and collections. It creates a seamless onboarding and billing experience and takes the hassle out of chasing payments.

Harvest for Billing
For clients in professional services who bill by the hour, Harvest integrates nicely with Xero and gives them the time tracking they need to manage profitability.
