Reckon Roadmap – Our exciting future
David Wier (Head of Product, Reckon) and Ed Blackman (CTO, Reckon)
Itโ€™s been a landmark year for development, and weโ€™re just getting started. In this session, weโ€™ll recap the “big wins” and major feature releases of the past 12 months that have laid our new foundation. More importantly, we will pull back the curtain on our multi year roadmap. Learn how we are systematically taking the “power features” you love from our desktop tools like advanced inventory and deep reporting and reimagining them for a cloud first world. This is your opportunity to see exactly how we plan to outpace the competition and save your clients more time than ever before.
The Migration Masterclass: Your Self Service Toolkit
Reckon Staff
We know that moving years of client data can feel like a mountain to climb. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve built the bridge for you. This session introduces our brand new, self service migration tool specifically designed to help you seamlessly convert client data from our Reckon Accounts software to the cloud. Weโ€™ll walk you through a live demonstration of the tool, highlighting the automated safety checks and the “set and forget” simplicity of the process. Join us to learn how you can de risk the transition and migrate your client base with total confidence and minimal downtime.
Inventory and Core Accounting: Powering Up
Ifti Chowdhury (Product Manager, Reckon)
You asked, and we delivered. This deep dive session focuses on one of our most significant cloud milestones to date: the official release of our Reckon One Inventory module. Weโ€™ll demonstrate how weโ€™ve taken the complexity of stock management and made it intuitive, mobile, and more powerful than our counterparts. Beyond inventory, weโ€™ll also cover a suite of core accounting enhancements designed to sharpen your daily workflows. See firsthand how these tools provide the robust control your clients need with the flexibility only a modern cloud solution like Reckon One can offer.
Banking: The Future of Frictionless Finance
Chris Blogg (Product Owner, Reckon)
Reconciliation shouldn’t be a chore it should be a competitive advantage. In this session, we explore the evolution of our banking functionality and the roadmap to a truly “hands off” bank feed experience. Weโ€™ll showcase recent releases that have already streamlined the way users manage cash flow and provide a sneak peek into our journey to revolutionise bank data automation. Learn how our unique approach to banking tech will eliminate manual entry, reduce errors, and give your clients real time visibility into their financial health.
Reporting: Desktop Power, Cloud Intelligence
Chris Ryatt (Product Manager, Reckon)
We know that reporting is the heartbeat of your advisory services and a standout feature of our desktop software. In this session, weโ€™ll show you how weโ€™re making reporting “bigger and better” in Reckon One. Weโ€™ll discuss the philosophy behind our new reporting engine ensuring it delivers the depth youโ€™re used to while adding the speed and customization youโ€™ve always wanted. We will showcase the latest releases and give you a first look at upcoming analytics tools that will help you turn data into actionable insights for your SME clients.
Payroll Reimagined: More Than Just Compliance
David Wier (Head of Product, Reckon)
While PayDay Super is the compliance headline of the year, our payroll strategy is about much more than just “checking a box.” Weโ€™ve worked hard to make PayDay Super processing effortless within our cloud solution, but weโ€™re also doubling down on delivering the best value in the Australian market. In this session, weโ€™ll showcase how weโ€™re outstripping the competition by integrating powerful new features including native timesheets and rostering at a price point that makes sense for your clients. Discover how our payroll evolution is designed to turn a weekly chore into a streamlined, value add service for every SME.

Beyond the Cloud: New Revenue Streams & Success Stories
Speaker to be announced soon

Transitioning to the cloud isn’t just a technical upgrade, itโ€™s a business transformation. In this partner led session, we sit down with a firm that has already made the leap and is reaping the rewards. Learn how they overcame “change fatigue,” successfully converted their legacy base, and most importantly unlocked lucrative new revenue streams through cloud consulting, training, and advisory services. Hear the real world strategies they used to turn a software migration into a major profit center for their practice.
From Feedback to Focus: Unlocking Growth Through Reckonโ€™s Voice of Customer Program
Andre Casaclang (Design Manager, Reckon) and Kelly Jennings (Head of Research & Design, Reckon)
At Reckon, we donโ€™t consider listening to our customers as optionalโ€”itโ€™s essential. Weโ€™ll show how Reckonโ€™s Voice of Customer (VoC) program has become a critical driver of better decisions, faster validation of ideas, and deeper customer trust. Drawing on real examples from across Reckonโ€™s ecosystem, you will see how integrating your feedback โ€”customer interviews, usability insights, surveys and support data โ€”shapes our roadmap and has evolved our design language. If youโ€™ve shared feedback to Reckon and wondered how itโ€™s influenced change, or asked yourself why you should research with us – then donโ€™t miss this session.
