Principle 01
Configuration before custom
If the platform you already pay for ships the feature natively (Karbon, Salestrekker, Rex), we configure it. Custom work only where the native feature genuinely doesn't cover the brief.
Company
The practice.
Yarra Tech Group is an Australian workflow practice, based in Melbourne. Our three core industries are compliance-bound mortgage brokerages, real estate agencies, and accounting firms. Australian SMBs from other industries are welcome too. Everything about how we operate follows from that.
Yarra Tech Group was founded on a narrow premise: small Australian practices in compliance-bound industries benefit from workflow automation done operationally, not transformationally. The practice is deliberately small, deliberately specialised, and deliberately anti-hype. If you're looking for a digital transformation partner, we are not the right practice. If you're looking for the team that runs the work between your existing tools, we probably are.
Where we fit
Narrow by design.
Four answers to "is YTG the right practice for us?". If any of them lands wrong, we will say so at the scoping call rather than guess.
Sectors
Three core, others welcome
Australian SMBs in compliance-bound work.
Mortgage broking, real estate, and accounting are where our domain literacy is deepest. Australian SMBs from other industries are welcome where the engagement model fits.
Compliance
Built into the workflow
Regulated work where the audit trail matters.
BID, AML/CTF Tranche 2, TASA, APES 110, Privacy Act 1988, NCCP. The work we ship has to survive a regulator's look on the day it ships, not the day they ask for it.
Practice size
SMB
Independent and small franchise practices.
The practices where one person decides, scopes, and signs. Where the engagement is owned end to end by a principal, not a procurement committee.
Geography
Australia-wide
Australian practice, based in Melbourne.
We work across Australia. Engagements are remote-first; on-site days when an Audit needs them. Time zone is yours.
How we work
Five operating principles.
The discipline behind every engagement, regardless of sector or platform.
Principle 02
Fixed-scope engagements
Every piece of work has a price, a deliverable, and a timeline written down before it starts. No time-and-materials billing. No change orders for work that wasn't scoped.
Principle 03
Yours at handover
Documentation, credentials, runbook, change log. Delivered on day one of the 30-day stabilisation. No proprietary black boxes. No lock-in to YTG.
Principle 04
Review where it matters
AI modules have a human checkpoint on anything with client, regulator, or financial consequence. We design review surfaces into the build, not as an afterthought when an auditor asks.
Principle 05
We stay after the Build
Every Build ships with a 30-day stabilisation included. Most engagements continue onto an optional monthly Support plan after that. Not mandatory. It's how most of our clients operate long-term.
Boundaries
What we won't do.
Said in writing so you don't have to ask the awkward question at the scoping call.
digital transformation projects. We run operational workflow inside your existing tools. Anything labelled "transformation" belongs elsewhere.
autonomous AI agents on regulated outputs. Every AI module has a human checkpoint. Unreviewed AI on compliance work creates more risk than it removes.
proprietary platforms or YTG stack lock-in. Documentation, credentials, runbook: yours at handover. Replace us without losing institutional memory.
selling you more than you need. The Audit recommends only what the workflow actually requires. If your business isn't ready for one of our services yet, we say so honestly rather than scope it anyway.
tools or industries we have not touched. If your sector or platform sits outside what we have scoped before, we say so at the scoping call.
