CompanyOp

Best ERP system in Australia

Australian companies should not leave Xero for CompanyOp to lodge BAS. This page exists for groups that invest in or operate African businesses from Sydney or Melbourne and want those entities on an ERP that already has fiscalisation and deduction workflows.

Local fit

AUD is supported. Single Touch Payroll and BAS lodgement are not product claims. The Australian entity can live in CompanyOp as a simple company, but the differentiator is still the African catalog—not ATO deep integration.

Investors, NGOs, and mining-services groups with African subsidiaries.

Why teams look here

  • AUD as a company currency
  • Same apps as African subsidiaries
  • No STP/BAS displacement pitch
  • Stripe for platform billing

Questions people ask

Will this lodge our BAS?

No. Keep ATO-connected Australian software. CompanyOp is operational ERP, especially for non-Australian companies in the group.

We use Xero today. Should the whole group move?

Keep Xero where MTD/STP-style localisation wins. Put the African company on CompanyOp when ZIMRA, loans, or employer deductions appear.

Is NetSuite a better HQ system?

For a large ASX group, often yes. CompanyOp is the lighter modular option for the operating company that NetSuite will never localise.
