Thriday and NAB

Thriday's Unique Value Proposition

The Thriday team has developed a pioneering product that automates the intricate tasks of banking, accounting, and tax management for small-to-medium businesses, simplifying their financial administrative burdens. Having launched in October 2022, Thriday is experiencing a surge in demand from businesses all across Australia. This surge can be attributed to the company's commitment to simplifying the lives of small business owners. By consolidating banking, accounting, and tax into a single, integrated solution, Thriday has introduced a groundbreaking new product category, fundamentally revolutionising how small businesses handle their financial responsibilities.

Addressing a Widespread Problem

Small-to-medium-sized businesses play a crucial role in the Australian economy, employing over half of the country's workforce and contributing significantly to the GDP. However, the management of finances often becomes a burdensome and time-consuming task for these businesses. Research conducted by Thriday revealed that financial administration was the most disliked activity for business owners, and on average, they squander over 42 days each year grappling with financial affairs. 

Thriday has stepped in to tackle this pressing issue head-on. The platform combines a smart business account with value-added services such as expense management, invoicing, tax forecasting, and BAS lodgement. These tools are powered by cutting-edge AI and machine learning, allowing them to operate on autopilot. In doing so, Thriday not only reclaims precious time for busy business owners but also empowers them to regain control of their financial destiny.
