The boundary

What this does not do.

A tool that overstates what it knows is worse than no tool. These are the limits of an audit built from bank exports, stated plainly rather than found later.

What a bank export cannot show

Your HECS or HELP balance

Repayments come out of your pay before it reaches your account, so a bank export shows neither the deduction nor the balance.

Employer super

Contributions go from your employer to your fund. Unless they pass through an account you provided, they are invisible here.

Loan balances and interest rates

A repayment shows the payment, not the principal, the rate or how long is left.

Due dates and minimum payments

These live on statements, not in transaction data.

Accounts you did not include

A card left out of the audit takes its spending with it. The audit will say the picture is incomplete, but it cannot fill the gap.

What cash was spent on

A withdrawal is the last thing a bank can see. This is why the audit asks you about cash rather than guessing.

Who a payment was really for

Money sent to a family member and money paid for a service look identical in an export.

Insurance cover and excess

A premium shows the price of a policy, not what it covers or whether it suits you.

What ClearLedger will not do

Recommend a product

No bank, insurer, lender, fund or card will ever be recommended here, and no comparison is offered.

Assess you for credit

This is not a lender assessment, a serviceability calculation or a credit score.

Give investment advice

Nothing here is a view on what to invest in, when, or through whom.

Replace licensed advice

The audit describes your own cash flow. It does not know your full circumstances, your goals, your tax position or your obligations.

Track you day to day

There is no ongoing feed, no reminders and no streak to maintain. It finishes.

Where to go instead

For decisions beyond your own cash flow, a licensed financial adviser is the right step. If money is causing real hardship, free and confidential financial counselling services operate across Australia, including through community organisations and legal centres, and the audit you produce here is a useful thing to bring to that appointment.
