Weighing up your options?
"I built Indi because sole traders deserve something purpose-built and simpler than accounting software made for big companies."
Questions? Answers.
As a sole trader you generally need to keep records of all business income you've received, the expenses you've claimed and the evidence behind them — receipts or invoices, plus a note of how much of a shared cost was for work. If you claim car expenses you also need a record of your business trips and kilometres. The ATO expects most records to be kept for five years, and they need to cover the Australian financial year from 1 July to 30 June. Indi keeps all of that in one place and shows you what's still missing before you lodge.
No. Indi is a simple record-keeping companion for sole traders and ABN holders. It helps you organise income, invoices and expenses so you or your accountant can prepare your tax return.
Indi doesn't lodge your tax return or BAS, process payments or connect to bank feeds. It prepares a clean summary you can hand to your accountant or use yourself, and on Indi Plus GST-registered businesses get a Quarterly BAS Report to check before lodging.
Indi Free covers up to 20 transactions, 5 invoices and 5 receipt scans a month. Indi Plus removes those limits and adds the Quarterly BAS Report and Ask Indi copilot for $7.99 a month or $79 a year (AUD).
Yes. In Settings → Integrations you can connect an AI assistant. It can read your records and add expenses, invoice drafts and mileage trips, but it can never delete records, make payments or lodge tax.
When you're signed in, your records are stored securely in Indi's hosted database and file storage, and access is restricted so only your account can read them. Data travels over encrypted connections and is encrypted at rest. Nothing is shared unless you choose to export or share your Tax Pack, and you can delete your records or your whole account at any time.
No. Indi organises your records and highlights potential deductions based on what you enter. Always confirm claims with your accountant or the ATO.
Australian freelancers, independent contractors, sole traders, tradies and anyone earning side income through an ABN who wants a simpler way to stay organised.
