Admin Tax AI Audit | AutoCognition
Free · 2-minute audit

Tell us how the work gets done

The more specific you are, the sharper your result. Every figure shows its working, so you can check our maths.

We'll take a look before writing your assessment, so it's about your business rather than your industry in general.

CRM, accounting, email, spreadsheets — whatever the business actually lives in.

Roughly. A ballpark is fine.

What a typical won job is worth to you.

This one matters more than it looks. If you're already full, more enquiries won't help you — and we won't pretend otherwise.

The work you'd hand over tomorrow if you could.

Not counting your hours. Everyone who does paperwork, data entry, scheduling, invoicing, chasing — including part-timers. One full-timer ≈ 38 hrs. A rough total is fine.

Pick everything that sounds like your week.

Your results and full report are sent here.

Your answers and your public website content are analysed by AI to write your report. Please don't include customer or staff names in the free-text fields. We delete your personal information after 90 days. See our Privacy Policy.

What You'll Learn

What The Audit Uncovers

The real hourly cost of doing it yourself

Most owners underestimate how many hours a week actually go into books, BAS and chasing payments. The audit puts a number on it, using your own numbers.

Your hidden compliance bill

Compliance doesn't send you an invoice, but it isn't free. See what it's really costing you each year.

Where the hours are actually going

Invoicing, admin, follow-ups: it adds up in ways that are easy to feel and hard to see. We break it down by category.

Why you're always paid last

The connection between hours lost to admin and cash flow that never quite catches up.

The one question almost every owner can't answer

What their own admin is actually costing them. Until now.

Proof

One Real Example

14 hours
back, every single week

We recently automated the paperwork for a mortgage broker client. Result: 14 hours back, every week. That's close to 700 hours a year, the better part of four months of full-time work returned to running the business instead of chasing it.

This is one client, one result, not an average and not a promise. But it's genuine, and it's the kind of number the Admin Tax audit is built to help you find in your own business.

The Deal

No Card. Just Your Number.

We know free things usually come with a catch. This one doesn't. No credit card, no obligation. Answer a few questions, see your Admin Tax on screen, and get the full report by email. If you want help acting on it there's a clear, optional next step, and if not, the report is yours to keep.
