What people are putting up with today

  • Master Builders Queensland told the state's own productivity commission that project trust accounts impose an enormous financial and administrative burden on the head contractors who have to run them.

  • The Housing Industry Association has said small builders are not solicitors who are accustomed to the complexities of trust accounting records — yet that's exactly what each trust account now demands: a reconciled ledger every month and seven years of records kept for every project.

  • Missing the 5-business-day QBCC notification after opening a trust account risks penalties up to A$28,750, or licence suspension for repeat failures.

How Trustline works

Trustline is a done-for-you trust account reconciliation service for small and mid-sized head contractors. Each month you forward your trust account's bank statement and payment claims, and Trustline produces the QBCC-format trust ledger and reconciliation report, confirms every notification deadline has been met, and keeps the required seven-year record set — without you or your staff having to learn trust accounting.

  1. 01

    Forward your trust account's bank statement and the month's payment claims — by email or upload, whatever's easiest.

  2. 02

    Trustline reconciles the trust ledger against the bank in the format QBCC expects, and flags anything that doesn't match.

  3. 03

    You get a one-page confirmation the account is compliant, with the reconciliation and notification records filed and ready for an audit.
