Nobody works outthe Act alone
Every licensee solving trust reconciliation, material facts and the complaints register is solving them again from scratch, at the kitchen table, on a Sunday. This is where that stops being a solo job — the meets, the templates and the people who have already been through an audit.

FAQ
Do I need a Briesa subscription to take part?
No. None of the ways in need one — the LinkedIn page, the monthly call, the local meets and the notes from the build are open to anyone.
What happens on the monthly call?
One obligation, and one licensee walking through how they handle it. Then questions, until they stop. It runs for half an hour on the first Tuesday of the month.
Where are the local meets?
Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong, with the Central Coast next. They are informal, and they are for the people who hold the licence.
Is the template library free?
Yes, on any plan. Agency agreements, disclosure notices, condition reports and the register templates, kept current with the Act and free to adapt.
What if the template I need is not there?
Tell us. The requests that come up twice get written and shared with everyone.
Do cadets pay?
No. Cadets and the RTOs training them use Briesa at no cost.

From the office
What people tell us once the spreadsheet is gone: composite voices, in their words and not their names.
We were rebuilding the same complaints register every audit. Now the entry goes on the property when it happens, and the register is just a view of what we already did.
Licensee in chargeBoutique agency · Inner West The auditor asked for three years of reconciliations. It took me a fortnight last time. This time it took one export.
Trust accountantMulti-office group · Sydney I am a one-person agency. I do not have an admin team — I have a car. This is the first system that did not assume otherwise.

A day with it
What an agency does once the record keeps itself: four sizes, four days, each told the way its people would tell it. Composite stories drawn from the agencies we built with, in their words and not their names.

The month closes on the first Tuesday, not the third week.
A two-licensee boutique, Inner West
A day
The bank feed is in; the reconciliation is three lines off and says which three.
A landlord rings about a repair. The request, the quote and the tenant's photo are already on the property.
The material-fact register asks for a sign-off on the flood notice before the listing goes live.

Every listing carries its own compliance, so the auction can.
A sales office, Northern Beaches
A day
The pipeline shows Saturday's four auctions and which contract still wants a cooling-off waiver.
An estimated selling price is updated; the record of it, and the reasoning, go with the listing.
Buyer feedback from the open home is on the event, and the vendor sees it on their portal without a phone call.

The rent roll tells you what to chase; the inspections tell the landlord.
A property management shop, Newcastle
A day
Arrears are a list sorted by days, not a memory; the chase goes out from the tenancy.
A routine inspection's notes and photos land on the property, and the landlord's portal shows them by lunch.
A maintenance request moves to approved, and the approval is the trust ledger's next line.

One policy, published once, and every office already on it.
A group with three offices, Sydney to the Central Coast
A day
The group publishes a supervision policy; the three offices inherit it and their sign-offs are tasks by ten.
The licensee reads three offices' trust positions on one page, and signs off the one that balances.
A new office manager signs in with the group's own identity provider; nothing was set up twice.

Builders, nextComing
The same spine, on a building site
Briesa Builder is the product after Agency: the property is still the file, and what attaches to it is the site diary, the variations, the progress claims and the defects list, with the same trust discipline where money is held. A builder's day with it is a story we would rather write with a builder.
Tell us what yours would needBeyond the product
A profession that keeps good records is an industry project, not a feature. Some of what we do costs us money and ships no code.
Cadets free
Cadets and the RTOs training them use Briesa at no cost. The people most likely to make an honest mistake should not meet the Act for the first time on paper.
The obligations, in plain English
Plain-English guides to the obligations that catch people out — material facts, beneficial interests and the trust rules — written once, free to anyone, licensed or not.
Submissions in public
When Fair Trading opens consultation on rules that affect small agencies, we write, and we publish what we wrote.
