Practice management platform

Ignition automation, built for Australian finance teams.

The proposal-to-invoice platform sitting above the ledger in most Australian accounting practices. A practice runs on Ignition, it does not post its month-end through it.

Context

Why Ignition matters for mid-market finance.

Ignition sits in a different category from the other platforms on this list because its primary user is an accounting practice running its own business, not a CFO running a finance function. The practice runs its proposals, engagement letters, recurring billing and client management through Ignition, and the accounting platform (Xero, MYOB, sometimes QuickBooks) picks up the invoice and the cash. The gap between the two is where the hours and the revenue leaks live: recurring billing that does not fire, reconciliation that takes a Friday morning, client lifetime value data that never reaches a report. Ignition has solid API coverage, so most of this is a build problem, not a platform problem.

Ignition is the ledger. The hours live in the gaps between Ignition and everything else in your stack. The job is to close those gaps, not to replace Ignition.
Ordron build principle
Where the hours go

The four signals that Ignition is costing you more than it should.

  • Ignition creates the invoice, Xero picks up the invoice, and we spend Friday mornings reconciling the two instead of serving clients.

  • Recurring billing is supposed to be automatic, but every month there are ten clients whose billing quietly did not fire and we only find out when the cash does not arrive.

  • We have years of Ignition data on client profitability and lifetime value, and none of it makes it into reporting the principal actually uses.

  • Engagement letter tracking across the client book lives in a spreadsheet one partner maintains, and nobody trusts it when the quarterly compliance sweep comes around.

The approach

How Ordron automates on Ignition.

Ordron treats Ignition as the client-facing workflow layer and the accounting platform as the ledger, and builds the automation in the space between them. API-first because Ignition's coverage is strong, with reconciliation, recurring billing validation and practice reporting running through the controlled database layer so the principal has a single source of truth for the practice's own numbers. Exception handling is tuned for practice scale, not corporate scale: the principal reviews what matters, not what does not.

  1. Database-first

    Every transaction, contact and tracking category writes to a structured Azure-hosted database you own. The platform stays the ledger; your data is never vendor-locked.

  2. Automation layer

    OCR, coding models, matching rules and approval workflows run next to the platform, tuned to your chart of accounts and approval thresholds.

  3. Control Panel

    Your team logs into one interface to review exceptions, see throughput, and audit every automated action, with a named owner for every exception path.
