Xero, the global small business platform, today announced a partnership with leading compliance management and AI-powered paper-to-data software provider BGL Corporate Solutions to introduce a new workpapers solution exclusively for Xero accounting and bookkeeping partners.
This will allow the direct import of client bookkeeping data from Xero, reducing manual entry through the automation of data flows, helping partners to save time in finalising client accounts, preparing tax returns and financial statements.
“Weʼve listened to feedback from our accounting and bookkeeping partners and this partnership is an exciting opportunity to combine Xeroʼs robust accounting and tax features with BGLʼs leading compliance expertise. Our accounting and bookkeeping partners will have a workpapers solution that will simplify how they manage their compliance workflows,” says Angad Soin, Xeroʼs Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand and Global Chief Strategy Officer. “Deeply integrated with Xeroʼs platform, this solution will make preparation, review and completion of workpapers seamless all in one platform, which will mean less manual work, fewer errors and a faster turnaround time on client jobs.”
The new workpapers solution will be integrated into Xeroʼs compliance and practice tools in the coming months, offering connectivity with Xero subscriptions, Xero Tax, reporting, as well as client records and staff permission management from practice tools.
BGL is a leading provider of company compliance, self-managed superannuation fund, investment management, identity verification and Al powered paper-to-data software solutions for accounting and financial services.
“As a Xero ecosystem app partner since 2018, BGL is well positioned to launch this new workpapers solution with Xero,” said Daniel Tramontana, BGLʼs Chief Executive Officer.
“Together, we will develop a workpapers solution that will accommodate the diverse needs of accounting practices of all sizes to minimise manual data entry, and generate efficiencies in completing client accounts and preparing tax returns.”
Xero accounting and bookkeeping partners in Australia will have the opportunity to gain early access to the new workpapers solution in the coming months for feedback, with an initial product launch to follow, and subsequent release for practices in New Zealand and the UK.

BGL Corporate Solutions is helping SMSF professionals navigate the complexities of legacy pension conversions as the Government introduces opportunities to transition to more flexible and sustainable retirement options.
From 7 December 2024, the Government announced new legacy pension conversion rules, including a five-year amnesty for the commutation of market-linked pensions, lifetime complying pensions and life expectancy pensions. With this change to simplify pension structures, SMSF professionals must carefully manage pension commutations, tax implications and compliance requirements to ensure a smooth transition.
Jeevan Tokhi, General Manager of Product at BGL said, “With this reform, SMSF professionals will need to be equipped with the right tools and knowledge. Technology will play a critical role in ensuring compliance and streamlining administration. BGL’s Simple Fund 360 simplifies SMSF for all administration, especially pensions. Our partnership with Smarter SMSF allows professionals access to expert documentation, calculators and ongoing education to ensure they have confidence navigating these changes”.
“The ability to transition out of legacy pensions is an important shift for SMSFs, but it also brings complexity,” says BGL’s Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Tramontana. “Professionals will need access to the right tools and support to manage any changes efficiently while ensuring compliance with ATO regulations.”
Aaron Dunn, CEO and Co-founder of Smarter SMSF added, “The introduction of the five-year amnesty is a major step for SMSFs and we are proud to support professionals through these changes. We emphasise the need for accurate data management and streamlined reporting in legacy pension conversion. To support this transition, our long-standing partnership with BGL allows us to deliver a seamless solution to help firms manage this transition”.
Key benefits of BGL’s Simple Fund 360 and Smarter SMSF’s solution for legacy pension conversion:
To support SMSF professionals in understanding these changes, BGL and Smarter SMSF will host a free webinar on 29 April 2025. This session will cover:
