The expense engine
for accounting firms.
Trovar automates the whole cycle.
Collect it, match it, prove it's reconciled.
Whatever the platform, there's a way to capture every invoice: email it through, fetch it by API, or upload it manually when nothing else fits. The control sits with you, not your client, so the hard work of chasing invoices is gone for good.

Trovar automatically matches
transactions with receipts.
Your client's card transaction hits. Trovar already knows what receipt belongs to it, and goes and gets it. Connect whatever card or bank feed your clients use, and we match against it automatically, so you know exactly what's missing, not just what's been filed.

How it works
Expense automation
on autopilot.
We collect
Trovar automatically gathers receipts and invoices from inboxes, connected apps and spending platforms.
We match
Trovar checks every charge on your client's card or bank feed against what's been collected, so you know exactly what's missing, not just what's been filed. It's the fully closed loop, and nobody's done it before Trovar.
We deliver
Everything is organised and coded, ready for your accounting software, reports and tax time.
Why Trovar
Every client expense,
automated end to end.
Never logs in as your client
Your clients' ad accounts are their business, and we take that seriously. Trovar never stores passwords and never logs in on your client's behalf. Every connection uses OAuth and can be revoked by your client in one click.
Email-in & manual capture
Every client gets a unique Trovar email address. Forward any supplier invoice and it files itself. Off-platform expense? Add it by hand in seconds.
IRD-compliant records
Every invoice is structured as valid NZ taxable supply information, with GST calculated correctly, even on overseas merchants. Built for NZ, not adapted for it.
Accountant dashboard
One view of every client's invoices: collected, pending, what needs attention.
Multi-client management
Run your whole book from one practice login. Each client's connections are isolated and secure.
Push to Xero
Coded invoices push straight into your client's Xero, with GST split.
Pricing
Simple pricing.
Per client account.
One flat rate per client under management, and your first client is free, forever (no card needed). Most firms fold it straight into their bookkeeping fee.

We're not a one-size-fits-all app. Whatever the platform, there's a way to capture it, email it through, fetch it by API, or upload it manually when nothing else fits. What matters is that your reconciliation gets done accurately, every month, without you chasing anyone.

FAQ
Common questions
Trovar is built around your workflow. If a platform sends invoices by email, we catch them there. If there's an API, we use it. If your client needs to upload manually, we make that as easy as possible. The goal is accurate reconciliation, not a clever technical trick, so every collected invoice is also checked against your client's bank feed, so you know it's reconciled, not just filed.
Trovar is built around your workflow, not a fixed document pipeline. Suppliers that email invoices file themselves automatically, ad platforms are pulled directly via API using your practice's own connection, and anything off-platform you can add by hand in seconds. On top of that, every collected invoice is matched against your client's bank feed automatically, so you always know what's reconciled, not just what's been filed.
Trovar pulls Meta's billing charges directly via API, so once your practice is connected you can pull a client's charges yourself, whenever suits you, without ever asking them to open or log into anything. It's also built specifically for NZ & AU accounting practices: GST and IRD taxable-supply rules are handled correctly by default, pricing is per client so it folds straight into your bookkeeping fee, and the whole workflow is designed to run an entire practice's book, including checking every invoice against the client's bank feed to prove it's reconciled.
Trovar is built for NZ & AU accounting practices managing many small-to-mid client businesses. It focuses on collecting the invoices in the first place, without ever logging in on a client's behalf, and matching every charge to the bank feed automatically, so you know it's reconciled, not just processed.
Trovar works regardless of which bank or card your client already uses, Airwallex, ASB, ANZ or anything else. It's focused specifically on the accountant's problem: collecting every supplier invoice and proving it reconciles against the bank feed, without asking your client to change how they bank.
We kept watching accountants lose real time every month to the same manual grind: chasing clients for missing receipts, then matching each one against the bank statement line by line. Clients don't enjoy the chase any more than accountants enjoy doing it, it's necessary work, but it doesn't scale and it isn't what anyone trained to do. As a rough, back-of-envelope estimate: New Zealand has tens of thousands of businesses that rely on an external accountant or bookkeeper. If each one costs just 2-3 hours of manual reconciliation admin a month at typical bookkeeping rates, that alone adds up to well over $100 million a year of billable time nationally spent on paperwork instead of advice (not to mention the client's own time wasted digging through folders and inboxes for receipts). Trovar exists to take that admin off the desk entirely: collect it, match it, prove it's reconciled, automatically, so accountants can spend that time on the work that actually grows their clients' businesses.
Trovar connects to your client's card or bank feed (Airwallex, and more) and checks every charge against the invoices you've already collected. Instead of a spreadsheet of red dots, or chasing your client to confirm what's missing, you see a live percentage per client, and exactly which transactions still need a receipt. It's the difference between collecting invoices and proving they actually match what was spent.
Where it's not practical for you to log in and grab the receipt yourself, Trovar connects directly to your clients' paid subscriptions, the likes of Meta Ads, Google Ads, Adobe, Shopify, Microsoft 365, AWS, Slack, Stripe and more, with new connections added regularly. Suppliers that email invoices are captured automatically; ad platforms take a short monthly step; and for anything off-platform, you can forward an invoice by email or add it manually, so nothing slips through.
Yes. Every client gets a unique Trovar email address. Forward any supplier invoice (or have a supplier send straight to it) and Trovar reads it and files it automatically. You can also add invoices by hand for anything off-platform.
Direct push to Xero, correctly coded with GST split, is coming soon. Today, every invoice is captured, GST-calculated and exportable into your workflow.
Yes. Every record Trovar generates contains the fields IRD requires as taxable supply information: supplier, date, amount, GST component and description. Both domestic and overseas merchant GST is handled correctly.
It's $59 NZD per client account per month, and your first client is free, forever, with no card required. Add more clients for $59 each whenever you're ready; remove one and it drops off. Most firms fold this into their bookkeeping fee and make a healthy margin.
No card needed to start. Your first client is free forever, so you can run Trovar on a real client at no cost for as long as you like. Add more for $59/month each whenever you're ready.
