SYDNEY - TelAve -- Nagaris, the practice platform for Australian accounting firms, has raised A$1.26 million in seed equity funding. The investors include the partners of the five practices that merged to form BPAG Accountants, along with other accounting firms, private investors and Nagaris' founder. Best Practice Group facilitated the raise.

The funding was closed in August 2026, all in ordinary shares. The funding is going into product development.

BPAG is the proof that the product works. Proactive Business Services in Sydney, CP Partners and BPAG Epping in Melbourne, Palacc near Canberra and PBS Accountants & Advisers in Adelaide joined forces to form one firm with four offices and thousands of clients. BPAG runs the practice on Nagaris and is an AI-native accounting firm.

In practice that means more than 80 specialist skills in Ask Nagaris, the platform's assistant, draft the routine work: BAS workpapers, Division 7A calculations, research notes and client letters. A BAS that used to take more than 90 minutes to prepare can now take as little as 10 minutes to review and approve, because Nagaris builds the workpaper from the client's Xero file. Complex ones take longer. A qualified accountant reviews and signs off every piece, and nothing reaches a client or the ATO without a person's approval. In one two-week period, 54 of BPAG's people used Ask Nagaris nearly 2,000 times.

"Plenty of people are describing what an AI-native accounting firm might look like. BPAG is one: five firms, four offices, one client file, and a person signing off everything the software drafts," said Robert Coorey, founder of Nagaris.

Nagaris also publishes the Nagaris AI Accounting Index, which marks AI models on 112 Australian accounting questions, and it sends each question to the model setup that scores best. Beyond BPAG, 50 other accounting firms use Nagaris.
