CanTicket is cloud ERP and job management software for small businesses and professional services teams. It brings project management, time tracking, job costing, invoicing and staffing into one system with live margin visibility, so you can see exactly what every job, client and staff member is earning or costing in real time — connected to the Xero you already run.

How is CanTicket different from Asana, Trello or Monday?

Project management tools like Asana, Trello and Monday show you what work is happening, but not what it is worth. CanTicket is job costing and project profitability software as well as a small business ERP — it tracks real-time margin on every job, so you manage profit, staffing and capacity, not just task status.

Does CanTicket work with Xero?

Yes. CanTicket offers a two-way Xero ERP integration that pulls real cost, payroll and invoice data straight from Xero and maps it to every job. Your job costing and margin reporting run on actual accounting numbers, not estimates — which is why it is popular accountant- and advisor-recommended small business software.

Who is CanTicket for?

CanTicket is built for service and project-based small businesses — agencies, marketing and creative studios, consulting firms, IT services and professional services teams, typically between $500K and $5M in revenue. If you deliver work through people's time and need better ERP, staffing and profitability visibility than spreadsheets can give, CanTicket is for you.

How much does CanTicket cost?

CanTicket uses one flat per-seat price with everything included — job management, job costing, project profitability, real-time margin tracking, Xero integration and the AI team — with no feature gating and no per-tier gouging. See the pricing page for current rates.

How hard is it to switch to CanTicket?

Most teams migrate in a few clicks. Your boards, tasks, time and staffing come across from tools like Asana, Harvest and Trello, and CanTicket connects straight to Xero — so you are adding real-time margin and ERP visibility to your existing workflow, not rebuilding your small business software stack from scratch.

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, tenant-isolated per company, and never sold. Full detail on our security and privacy practices is on the security page.

Does CanTicket track what our AI usage costs?

Yes. Every AI action the CanTicket team takes — Madi checking margin, Atlas balancing capacity, Opti clearing admin — is metered and attributed to the job, client or department it ran for. AI consumption shows up as a real, itemised cost line alongside labour and expenses, not as an invisible platform fee, so you always know what the automation is costing you and where it is being spent.

Why does tracking AI consumption matter for financial transparency?

AI is quietly becoming a real operating expense, and in most businesses it sits in a single unallocated software bill nobody can break down. Tracking consumption per job puts that spend where it actually belongs: your job costing and project profitability numbers include the cost to serve, your margin reporting stays honest, and the expense flows into Xero already coded — so your accountant, your board and your clients see the same defensible figure.

Accountant Recommended ERP Software

Where Existing Tools Fall Short

Most software is built for the extremes. CanTicket is designed for the reality of running a growing Australian business with real operational complexity.

Accountant Frustration With Client Data

Most accountants spend a significant portion of their time cleaning up client data rather than providing strategic advice. When clients use disconnected tools, inconsistent expense coding and manual CSV exports, the data that arrives for review is messy, incomplete and unreliable. This drives up accounting fees and reduces the quality of advice.

Manual CSV Exports

Businesses that track jobs in spreadsheets and then manually export data to their accounting software create data quality problems every month. Amounts get typed incorrectly, accounts get miscoded and transactions get duplicated. CanTicket eliminates the manual export step entirely by syncing directly with Xero in real time.

Reconciliation Errors

When job management software and accounting software are not connected, reconciliation becomes a monthly exercise in finding discrepancies. Accountants bill clients for this work and it creates unnecessary friction. CanTicket's native Xero integration means the data in CanTicket and the data in Xero are always identical, eliminating reconciliation errors at the source.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

CanTicket is built around the features that actually matter for Australian SMEs. No bloat, no complexity, no expensive add-ons.

Xero-First Architecture

CanTicket is built to work alongside Xero, not as a replacement for it. Every transaction in CanTicket flows to the correct Xero account automatically, using your existing chart of accounts, tax codes and contact records.

Clean Chart of Accounts

CanTicket respects your existing Xero chart of accounts setup. Costs are allocated to the correct expense accounts based on job type, cost category and the rules your accountant has set up. No miscoding, no manual adjustments.

Automated Reconciliation

Because CanTicket and Xero share a live data connection, bank reconciliation in Xero is faster and more accurate. Transactions that flow from CanTicket already carry the correct account codes and job references, so matching is straightforward.

Real-Time P and L

CanTicket feeds Xero with live job cost and invoice data so your P and L in Xero reflects what is actually happening in your business today, not what happened last month. Your accountant can review live data any time without waiting for a batch upload.

Your Accountant Will Thank You

CanTicket connects natively with Xero so your financial data is always clean, current and correctly categorised. No more end-of-month reconciliation marathons or manual CSV imports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do accountants recommend CanTicket to their clients?

Accountants recommend CanTicket because it produces cleaner, more reliable data in Xero than any other combination of job management and accounting tools. When a client uses CanTicket, the accountant spends less time cleaning up data, fewer transactions need to be reclassified and month-end reporting is faster. The native Xero integration means that what the accountant sees in Xero accurately reflects what is happening in the business operations in real time. This makes it easier to give timely, accurate advice.

How does CanTicket improve the quality of financial data for accountants?

CanTicket enforces consistent cost coding at the point of entry. Every expense, labour hour and purchase order is assigned to a specific job and a specific cost category before it ever reaches Xero. This eliminates the messy, miscoded transactions that accountants spend hours untangling each month. The result is a Xero file where every transaction has a correct account code, a job reference and supporting documentation from the time it was entered.

Can my accountant access CanTicket to review data directly?

Yes. Accountants can be given read-only or review-level access to CanTicket to see job-level cost breakdowns, margin summaries and work in progress reports. Many accountants find this useful for reviewing the operational health of a business beyond what the Xero P and L shows. For compliance and tax work, accountants continue to work primarily in Xero where all the financial data flows automatically from CanTicket.

Does CanTicket support the reconciliation processes that accountants use in Xero?

CanTicket is designed to make Xero reconciliation easier, not more complicated. Transactions that flow from CanTicket into Xero carry the correct account codes, GST treatment and contact references. This means bank feed matching in Xero is faster because the system already has the right context for each transaction. Accountants who have clients using CanTicket consistently report that reconciliation takes less time and produces fewer exceptions than with clients using manual export processes.

What should I tell my accountant when I am considering CanTicket?

Tell your accountant that CanTicket is a Xero-connected job management and ERP platform that feeds costs, invoices and job data directly into Xero in real time. Ask them to compare the quality of your current Xero data with what they typically see from Xero-native job management clients. Most accountants will immediately understand the value proposition. You can also invite your accountant to the demo so they can see the Xero integration firsthand and ask their own questions about data flow and account coding.
