Why Rounded Matters for Australian Sole Traders

Most accounting tools are designed for companies with staff, inventory, and complex reporting. Rounded strips away the extras you don’t need and focuses on what truly matters to small business owners and accounting firms serving them:

• Simplicity
• Compliance (GST, BAS, ATO-ready)
• Professionalism
• Time savings

Rounded makes business admin easier so you can spend more time earning and less time reconciling.
