Track income and expenses with any bank account

Rounded connects to 130+ financial institutions. Our secure Bank Feed is simple to set up and imports transactions in seconds.

Thriday requires you to open and only use their bank account. If you use other accounts, you’ll have to add transactions manually, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.

AI reconciliation without compromise

Thriday’s excessive reliance on AI makes it hard to spot errors and even harder to correct them, as you’ll be unable to fix your own data without someone from their team.

Rounded leverages AI to cut out unnecessary work while keeping you in the driver’s seat as a safeguard. You’ll have the chance to quickly review every transaction for accuracy and make changes if needed.

Master Rounded in minutes

Your client will have received your first Rounded invoice before you've finished signing up for a Thriday bank account.

You’re in full control of your banking data

We’re the first Australian accounting tool to use Open Banking, which allows you to choose what data to share and manage permissions directly through your bank. This means you don’t have to share your credentials with us.

Open Banking is regulated by the Australian Government and ensures your information is protected by the Rules of the ACCC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an accountant or bookkeeper with Rounded?

− +

Definitely not. However, we’ve found a lot of sole traders value working with an accountant or bookkeeper, especially at tax time. Because of this, we’ve made it super easy for you to securely offer access to your Rounded account via the Rounded Accountant Portal. There's no cost to your accountant for using this feature, as it's included with every Rounded subscription.

Can I reconcile receipts with Rounded?

− +

You can easily snap pictures of receipts using our mobile app and attach them to expense records. You can also upload files from your computer when using the desktop version of Rounded.

How do you ensure the Bank Feed is secure?

− +

We partner with Basiq, an Australian company based in Sydney, to provide bank feed data. Login details are not kept in the Rounded technical environment and the financial data shown inside the app is “read-only”, so there's no way to initiate any kind of payment or transfer. We also offer multi-factor authentication to help keep your data totally secure.

Do I have to set up the Bank Feed to use Rounded?

− +

Nope! Unlike Thriday, you can use Rounded on your own terms.

Don't want to connect your bank account? Simply enter expenses manually or even bulk import from an existing spreadsheet – our support team will be happy to assist.

Do I have to pay extra to use the Bank Feed?

− +

The Bank Feed is one of the features included in our Pro subscription, along with GST tracking, BAS, and unlimited invoice templates.

How easy is it to switch to Rounded?

− +

We offer data migration services to help you transfer records from other accounting software or spreadsheets. Get in touch with our team to find out more.
