Two Leaders, One Vision: The Access Group Acquires ATO SmartDocs

It’s official — ATO SmartDocs has joined forces with The Access Group, one of APAC’s

leading business software providers. This partnership represents more than an acquisition

— it’s a coming together of two industry leaders with one shared vision: to empower

accounting firms with smarter, connected technology.

Integration with The Access Group

Together, ATO SmartDocs and Access will deliver richer functionality, more unified

workflows, and a single secure platform for firms to manage ATO documents alongside their

broader practice management systems.

The end result? Less time on admin, more time adding value for clients. Stay tuned for more

news as we continue to invest and innovate for local accountants.

Scaling with Additional Consulting Resources

ATO SmartDocs has already been recognised as the industry leader in ATO document

processing, known for:

Now, with the backing of a global software group, we’re adding greater scale and resourcing

to help firms manage ongoing compliance, grow (if that’s what they want to do), and extract

even more value from their investment with SmartDocs. This means more hands-on support,

more expertise, and an even stronger partnership with our clients.

Taking Automation Further with ATO SmartBot

Our ATO SmartBot technology has already changed the game, delivering true one-click

processing of ATO documents. For firms that cannot yet implement 2FA, we also offer

automatic TFN redaction, ensuring client confidentiality is never compromised.

The Access Group partnership will further accelerate these innovations, ensuring SmartBot

and our automation tools continue to set the standard for efficiency and compliance.

The First Week: A Response Beyond Expectations

The reaction since announcing this partnership has been overwhelming — clients, partners,

and industry leaders have embraced the opportunities this unlocks. It’s clear this is more

than a good fit: it’s the next step forward for accounting tech in Australia.

But this is just the beginning. With enhancements and services already in the pipeline, ATO

SmartDocs is ready to move to the next level — delivering even more value, security, and

innovation to accounting firms across Australia.

Final Word: Two leaders. One vision.

The Access Group and ATO SmartDocs share a commitment to delivering secure, efficient,

and effective tools for accountants. Together, we’re scaling that vision globally while keeping

our focus firmly on supporting firms here in Australia.

The future is smarter, faster, and more connected
