Assist Biz

ASSIST.biz is finance automation software for growing businesses, with a focus on Singapore and Malaysia. It brings accounts payable and receivable automation, approval workflows, expense claims and e-invoicing compliance into one platform, and it syncs with Xero and QuickBooks.

AP and AR automation

The AI extracts data from invoices, validates and categorises it, routes it for approval and syncs it to your accounting software. The site describes common problems it targets: PDF invoices buried in email inboxes, hours of manual data entry typing vendor names, amounts and due dates, approval chains nobody can track, and duplicate invoices slipping through. Automation aims to reduce errors and give finance teams visibility over each document's status.

Expense claims

Employees can snap a photo of a receipt or email it, and an expense claim is submitted instantly, without manual forms or chasing approvals.

E-invoicing

ASSIST.biz is designed to help businesses stay compliant with e-invoicing requirements, which have been rolled out in Malaysia and are being introduced in Singapore through the InvoiceNow network.

Pricing

All plans include every feature, with no locked tools. There is a 14-day premium trial with no commitment. The pricing page lists a Standard plan at about 8 dollars per month for small businesses, a Premium plan at about 19 dollars per month, and an Enterprise plan for larger needs, with monthly and annual billing. Check the page for what limits apply to each.

Who it is for

It suits small and mid-sized businesses in Singapore and Malaysia that use Xero or QuickBooks, finance teams handling many supplier invoices, and companies that need to meet local e-invoicing rules without building their own integration.

Things to consider

AI extraction is accurate on clear invoices but can make mistakes on unusual layouts or poor scans, so review extracted data, especially amounts and tax codes. Check that the e-invoicing support matches the current rules and deadlines for your business size, since requirements are phased in. Confirm how the sync handles your chart of accounts and tax settings before going live. Use the trial with real invoices and test the approval flow with your team.

Start with one supplier group to test it.
