What is your lodgement process actually costing you?

Two numbers most firms never add up: what you pay for the tools, and what the manual process costs in admin hours. Adjust the fields below.

Your current tool spend. E-signing, cover letters, follow-ups and payments are included in Admiin at no extra cost.

Admin hours you get back

840 hrs

At 4 minutes per lodgement instead of 25. That is 840 hours, or about $37,800 of admin time.

That is $20,000 of cash and 840 hours of capacity a year, without hiring anyone.

Hours are shown separately from cash on purpose. Tool spend is money that leaves the firm. Hours are capacity you get back, which most firms put into more lodgements rather than fewer staff. Read how Logicca cut its lodgement admin by 75 per cent.

Questions

Before you run the numbers

What does one lodgement actually cost a firm?

Two things. The share of your annual tool spend that sits behind the lodgement (e-signing, identity checks, document tools, SMS and payment fees), and the admin time it takes to produce a cover letter, merge the pack, chase the signature and chase the payment. Firms we have timed sit at about 25 minutes of admin per lodgement. At $45 an hour that is roughly $19 of labour per lodgement before the tools are counted.

Where does the four minutes come from?

Logicca tracked its lodgement process over a full month with the same headcount. Verification, cover letter, tax binding, engagement letter and e-signature run as a single automated workflow, so the admin work drops to reviewing and releasing. Their end to end admin time fell by 75 per cent.

Does Admiin replace our e-signing and AML tools?

Yes. E-signatures, AML and KYC verification, engagement letters, document requests, invoicing and payments are all included in the platform, so those line items come out of your annual spend rather than sitting alongside it.

Do we have to cut staff to see the saving?

No, and most firms do not. Cash and hours are shown separately for that reason. Tool spend is money that leaves the firm. Hours are capacity, and firms typically put that capacity into more lodgements rather than fewer people.

More detail on the workflow itself: tax pack preparation, AML and KYC and engagement letters.
