The problem
Most owners run on last quarter's numbers, and learn their value from an offer.
Reports tell you what happened. They don't tell you how you compare, what to fix first, or what it's worth. BVOai does, while there is still time to change the outcome.
Reports aren't answers
A P&L shows what happened. You need to know whether it's good, and what to do next.
You can't see how you compare
Are your margins, costs and debtor days in line with your industry? Benchmarks show where the gaps are.
Profit is not value
A profitable business can still be worth little if it leans too hard on its owner. Buyers price in that risk.
Advice needs today's numbers
You and your accountant can work from the same live figures, not last quarter's.
Two lenses, one set of numbers
Know how you're performing. Know what it's worth.
Business intelligence tells you what to do. Live valuation tells you what it's worth. BVOai gives you both from the same connected books, so every insight has a price tag.

FAQs
Questions, answered
What is BVOai, in plain terms?
BVOai is business intelligence with a live valuation built in. You connect your accounting software and complete a short questionnaire. You then see how your business compares with its industry, the risks and opportunities in your numbers, a ranked plan to improve, and a running estimate of your business's value that shows what each improvement is worth.
How is BVOai different from a reporting or dashboard tool?
Reporting tools show you what happened. BVOai also shows you where you stand against similar businesses, what a buyer or lender would worry about, what to fix first, and what each fix is worth in dollars. The valuation turns every insight into a number you can act on.
What business intelligence does BVOai give me?
Industry benchmarking of your margins, costs and cash cycle, cashflow forecasting on the Growth plan, risk assessment, SWOT analysis, growth opportunities, quick wins ranked by dollar impact, and an ai Advisor you can question in plain English. Reports such as P&L, balance sheet, debtors and creditors are ready to share with your accountant, bank or a buyer.
Do I need to be thinking about selling to get value from BVOai?
No. Most owners use it to run a better business today: spotting margin and cash leaks, comparing against peers and planning growth. The value estimate simply keeps score, so you always know whether the business is getting stronger. If a sale does come, you are already prepared.
What's the difference between a profitable business and a valuable business?
They are not the same thing. A profitable business can still be worth little if it depends heavily on its owner, because buyers see that as risk. Value comes from the balance between profit and risk.
How do I join the beta?
BVOai is in a small, invite-only beta. Register your interest on the beta page with your name, email and a few details about your business or practice. We review applications and email successful applicants with their invite and next steps. If you would rather wait, join the waitlist and we will send one email when BVOai is open to everyone.
How do I get started as a business owner?
Once you have a beta invite, sign up, connect Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB, then complete the questionnaire. The first week costs $1 and a card is required upfront. It then converts to your chosen subscription. You can invite your accountant at any time.
How do I get started as an accountant?
Connect to your client's account, or invite them to set one up. Once their accounting software is connected and the questionnaire is done, you see the same live numbers, benchmarks and insights. There is no cost to you, because the client pays for their subscription.
What information do I need?
Access to Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB, plus some basic details about your team, leases and clients. Your financials are pulled in automatically.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Yes, at any time. Changes take effect in line with your billing period.
Can I cancel?
Yes. There are no lock-in contracts. To cancel, email our support team. Requests are processed within 4 business days.
What if I use different accounting software?
Right now BVOai supports Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB. Get in touch to request others, as integrations are expanding.
What role does ai play?
The ai Advisor analyses your numbers, flags risks and finds the fastest ways to improve performance and value. Ask it questions in plain English and it answers from your own financials. Think of it as a daily second opinion, not a replacement for your accountant's advice.
Does BVOai produce official APES-225 valuations?
No. BVOai uses the same methodology as formal APES-225 valuations and updates as your numbers change, but it does not carry the professional judgement and sign-off of an official valuation. For tax, legal, restructuring or sale purposes, our sister company Business Valuations Online can prepare one, and you can request it through the platform.
Is my business information secure?
BVOai uses secure systems and industry-standard practices. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications are in progress.
What does “real time” mean?
Your insights and value update as your accounting software reconciles. If you reconcile daily, you see yesterday's numbers. If you reconcile weekly, you see last week's. The more you reconcile, the closer to real time you get.
