BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND - JUNE 11, 2026 - Benjamin Whitehouse, a Brisbane-based Chartered Accountant and founder of Process AI Pty Ltd, has developed an accounts payable automation platform designed for small and medium enterprises using the Xero accounting system. The platform applies AI-driven matching of supplier identities and bank account details across invoice transactions, addressing risks in accounts payable workflows for SME operators across Australia.
The platform processes invoice line items and manages purchase orders while cross-referencing supplier identity and payment detail records to flag discrepancies before payments are approved. The system is designed to reduce manual handling that can create exposure to invoice fraud and phishing attacks, particularly for smaller businesses operating without dedicated finance teams. Benjamin Whitehouse Brisbane accounting automation work draws on more than three decades of advisory experience with SMEs, where manual accounts payable processes often create operational and financial risk.
The accounts payable platform represents one component of a broader AI development program at Process AI. An autonomous AI-driven accounting and analytical system is also in development, built without a traditional user interface and intended to support SMEs and strategic advisers who require financial intelligence at operational speed. Both products are designed to integrate within existing accounting environments rather than requiring businesses to adopt separate platforms.
Beyond Process AI, AI-powered accounts payable technology is gaining traction across the Australian professional services sector as advisers seek more reliable and scalable tools for clients with limited internal capacity. The Viden Group, of which Benjamin Whitehouse is founder and CEO, provides advisory services across taxation, complex business structuring, corporate development and finance to SMEs throughout Australia.
The work reflects a broader shift toward SME advisory innovation in accounting, where automation, data intelligence and responsible AI systems are increasingly used to improve accuracy, reduce administrative strain and support earlier visibility into financial risk.
