Import from NowInfinity

Plan: Available: All plans

Users: Not Available: All users Available: FYI Admins or User Group permissions

Practice Management Source: Available: All sources

You can integrate FYI with NowInfinity to automatically import information from this third-party provider for your clients. Information is imported from NowInfinity overnight and automatically filed against the relevant client as a document in FYI.

Working with the NowInfinity Integration

Import Timing

NowInfinity documents are synchronised to FYI every day at 4 am. Documents received after this time will be available in FYI the following day. Imports may take up to 24 hours to display.

The date and time of the Last Sync with NowInfinity can be found in the NowInfinity app in Automation - Apps. Refer to Connecting your NowInfinity account to FYI.

Matching Documents Using the ACN

The integration with NowInfinity only imports documents where the ACN in NowInfinity matches the ACN in your practice management software. Documents are matched with clients using the ACN. Any spaces in the ACN will be ignored.

For practices integrated with Xero Practice Manager (XPM), the automation will only import documents if the client record in XPM contains the ACN, and the ACN directly matches what is held in NowInfinity.

ACNs must be unique to a client, and not shared with any other client.

Importing Unmatched Documents to the In Tray

When connecting your NowInfinity account to FYI and Import unmatched documents to In Tray is toggled "On", unmatched documents will be imported to the process owner’s In Tray. The owner can then manually file the unmatched documents to the correct client.

ASIC Agent Number Requirements

NowInfinity allows users to create companies, but documents will only be imported if the client has been added to your ASIC agent number using Form 362.

Once the client has been added to your ASIC agent number, the FYI automation will check NowInfinity for the incorporation documents and add a link to the client in FYI if it can match the ACN.

Bundling Company Statements and Invoices

To bundle the Company Statement and Invoice into a single collated PDF, change the Display Invoice As option to "A Part of Annual Statement" in NowInfinity.

Documents Imported from NowInfinity

Annual company statements and signed ASIC forms are imported as PDFs from NowInfinity. Signed copies of documents imported from NowInfinity are filed separately from unsigned copies in FYI.

ASIC annual statements are displayed in the Client - Corporate Affairs tab. This provides a summary of ASIC annual statements and displays current information from the ASIC register, including officeholders, registered address, share structure, and statement status. For example, whether the annual review fee has been paid. 

The following documents can be imported from NowInfinity:

  • Constitution Standard Company
  • Consent of Occupier
  • Minutes
  • ASIC Certificate
  • Invoice
  • Form 201
  • Legal Scope Statement
  • Signing Summary (signed)
  • Invoice (signed)
  • ASIC 362 Notification by a Company to Nominate or Cease a Registered Agent or Contact Address
  • ASIC 480 Cover Letter for Annual Statements (signed)
  • ASIC 484 Change to Company Details
  • ASIC Company Statement and Solvency Resolution
  • ASIC Company Statement and Solvency Minutes
  • Practice customised forms
