About Avanzu

The R&D Tax Incentive, minus the year-end panic

Avanzu is purpose-built software for the Australian R&D Tax Incentive. It connects to your Xero account, uses AI to help you plan compliant activities, and reconciles your R&D spend throughout the year, so your claim is ready long before 30 June.

The product

One place for your entire R&D claim

Instead of spreadsheets and a last-minute rush, Avanzu gives you a single workspace that tracks activities, allocations, employee time, and asset depreciation, with your estimated rebate updating in real time.

  • Connects directly to Xero (read-only) in minutes
  • AI assistant to write and strengthen R&D plans
  • Percentage-based allocation, just like Xero reconciliation
  • AusIndustry-ready reports and Excel exports on demand

The approach

Designed around the whole financial year

Most R&D claims are pieced together in June from a year of forgotten transactions. Avanzu flips that, you allocate costs as they land, keep documentation audit-ready, and watch the rebate grow. By the end of the financial year, the reconciliation is already done.

  • Allocate transactions the moment they sync from Xero
  • Set account rules once and let Avanzu do the rest
  • See a live estimate of your rebate at any point

Who it's for

Built for Australian innovators

From first-time claimants to firms managing dozens of projects, Avanzu fits the way you already work.

Startups & scale-ups

Claim every eligible dollar of R&D from day one, without hiring a compliance team or waiting until tax time.

SMEs & established businesses

Manage multiple projects and financial years in one place, with clean, consistent records behind every claim.

Accountants & bookkeepers

Help clients allocate and report without ever needing their Xero login, with permission controls that keep salaries private.

Compliance you can stand behind

Avanzu handles the financial tracking and compliance workflow, not the advice. Everything you build, activity descriptions, budgets, allocations, and reports, is structured to line up with AusIndustry requirements and to hand cleanly to your accountant or tax agent.

Your data connects to Xero via secure OAuth with read-only access, so Avanzu never writes to or changes anything in your accounting file. Records are encrypted, exportable at any time, and yours to keep.
