They’re not the same thing, and the gap between them catches a lot of owners out. A business can be very profitable but still not worth much, if it relies too heavily on the owner, for example, a buyer sees that as a risk. On the flip side, a business with modest earnings but low risk can be worth more than you’d expect. Value comes down to the relationship between profit and risk, not profit alone. 

Sign up and connect your accounting software, Xero, QuickBooks, or MYOB, and BVOai pulls in what it needs automatically. From there, you’ll work through a questionnaire so we can understand your business beyond the numbers. Try it for $1 for your first week, a card is required upfront, then it rolls into the subscription you choose at signup once the week wraps up. You can invite your accountant onto the platform at any point, so you're both working from the same live picture. 

Sign up and connect with your client's account or invite them to set one up if they haven't already. Once their accounting software is connected and their questionnaire is complete, you'll see the same live numbers they do, so you can advise from the same picture, in real time. There's no cost to you as the accountant, only your client pays for their BVOai subscription. 

You'll need access to your accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB) and some basic details about how your business runs, things like your team, leases, and clients. BVOai pulls your financials automatically and guides you through the rest.

AI helps us dig through your numbers, flag risks, and highlight where the fastest improvements to value are likely to be found. But it's not a replacement for your accountant, think of it as a second opinion that's available every day, not a substitute for the advice only they can give you. 

No, but it's not just a rough guess either. BVOai calculates your business value using the same methodology behind our formal APES-225 valuations, updated as your numbers change so you can track it day to day. What it doesn't include is the professional judgement, compliance and sign-off that comes with an official valuation. For tax, legal, restructuring or sale purposes, our sister company BVO can prepare one, and you can request it directly through the platform. 

Yes. Protecting your business information is a top priority. BVOai uses secure systems and industry-standard security practices to keep your data safe. We are currently completing our ISO27001 and SOC 2 Certification; the highest possible security standard available.  

What does ‘real time’ actually mean? 

Your value updates as your accounting software reconciles. If you reconcile daily, your value reflects yesterday’s numbers. If you reconcile weekly, it reflects the week before. The more you reconcile, the closer to real time your value gets. You just have to tell BVOai your reconciliation schedule!
