We Build the Digital Workforce for Accounting Firms.
NeX Automator eliminates repetitive admin, compliance, and processing work using AI powered automation — so your team can focus on higher-value work.
OUR IDENTITY
A modern accounting and technology organisation based in Victoria, Australia.
Rather than designing cloud accounting automation from outside the industry, we built it from inside the exact workflows accountants use every day — lodge, reconcile, review, communicate, repeat.
This gives NeX Automate a unique advantage:
It mirrors how AI accounting firms actually operate with seamless AI accounting integrations.

NeX Automate is part of the NextGen Group — a leading accounting and technology organisation based in Victoria, Australia.
Founded by Chartered Accountant and Registered Tax Agent Nick Bhalla, NeX Automate comes from real accounting experience — not theory. After a decade of working directly with firms to build systems, train teams, and streamline workflows, one problem became clear:
Accountants were spending too much time on repetitive, low-value work.
NeX Automate was built inside an accounting firm, not a software lab — and that’s our edge. We understand staffing constraints, compliance pressure, and the reality of doing more with the same team.
Our AI-powered workflows quietly eliminate repetitive admin, strengthen compliance, and free your people to focus on higher-value work.
The result: a smarter digital workforce supporting your real workforce.
