    How we built it

    Four reasons AU/NZ teams prefer EntityFlo.

    A legal-ops tool built for the US legal market translates only partially. EntityFlo is built for the local one.

    AU/NZ-first data model

    ACN, ABN, NZBN, Director ID, AFSL — modelled as first-class fields.

    Local lodgement integrations

    ASIC DSP and NZ Companies Office integration built in.

    AI drafting in local templates

    Rebecca uses statutory templates maintained against the Corporations Act 2001 and equivalent NZ legislation.

    Mid-market pricing

    Predictable AUD pricing for groups of 5–500 — not enterprise legal-ops pricing.

    Versus

    EntityFlo vs Athennian — direct.

    FAQ

    The questions buyers actually ask.

    Is EntityFlo a direct Athennian replacement?

    For AU and NZ groups, yes. For US-only legal-ops teams, no.

    What about Canadian or US entities?

    EntityFlo supports document drafting for US/CA. ASIC-equivalent lodgement is not integrated for those jurisdictions.

    Can we run both during migration?

    Yes. Typical migration takes two weeks of parallel running.

    What about Athennian’s relationship management features?

    EntityFlo focuses on the entity itself rather than firm-side matter management. If you need both, mention it on the demo call.

    Is there a discount for switching?

    Talk to us. Migration support is included.

    What about international subsidiaries?

    Modelled as entities with jurisdiction tags. Lodgement is local for AU/NZ; manual for others.
