Compare Platforms

    A neutral comparison of
    entity & governance platforms.

    Each platform on this page is built for a different kind of team — accounting practices, global enterprises, or in-house groups. This page sets out what each one does and where they overlap, based on publicly available product information.

    How EntityFlo is built

    Three data layers. One source of truth.

    Governance breaks when these three layers live in different tools. EntityFlo merges them so every entity record is complete, current, and audit-ready.

    Regulatory layer
    What the register says

    Live reads from ASIC, Companies House, NZCO and other registries. The source-of-truth fields nobody else owns — kept in sync, not snapshotted.

    Internal layer
    What your group actually does

    Officers, shareholders, resolutions, meetings, documents, obligations, renewals — every internal record that registries never see, captured against the entity it belongs to.

    Hidden trust layer
    What sits behind the trustee

    Discretionary and unit trusts modelled with look-through, so beneficial ownership, control and authority resolve all the way to the people — not stop at a corporate trustee.

    Decisions connected to delivery

    When a board approves a change, EntityFlo links the resolution to the registry filing, the document, the consent, and the obligation it triggers — so the decision and the work it creates share one record across the whole group.

    Where EntityFlo fits

    Built for the way governance actually works.

    Each platform on this page is genuinely good at what it was designed for — board packs, ASIC forms, trust deeds, global entity records. EntityFlo sits in the gap between them: combining the regulatory record, your internal governance work, and the hidden trust layer into one continuous source of truth.

    The result is a single place where decisions, documents, filings, obligations and renewals are connected to the entity they belong to — and to each other.

    01

    Regulatory data, kept in sync

    ASIC, Companies House and NZCO are read directly so the register reflects the source, not a quarterly export.

    02

    Internal records in the same place

    Officers, shareholders, resolutions, documents and obligations sit against the same entity record as the registry data.

    03

    Trust look-through

    Discretionary and unit trusts are modelled so UBO and control flow through the trustee instead of stopping at it.

    04

    Decisions linked to filings

    Resolutions and consents are linked to the obligations and lodgements they trigger, so the work isn't tracked separately.

    05

    One obligation calendar

    Renewals, lodgements, reviews and licences appear in a single forward calendar across every entity.

    Head-to-head comparisons

    Dig deeper into each comparison.

    EntityFlo vs. Diligent
    EntityFlo is an Australian-native entity and obligation platform.

    Diligent Entities (formerly Blueprint OneWorld) is a long-established global entity management product used in 140+ countries, and is a registered integrated with ASIC supporting EDGE and ECR e-filing, ASIC data download and comparison reports. It also offers structure visualisation, share register, board portal and document management. EntityFlo covers a similar entity and ASIC lodgement scope for Australia, and adds discretionary trust look-through, a per-entity compliance score, and auto-drafted resolutions tied to detected issues. Diligent is typically chosen by large global groups; EntityFlo by AU-focused mid-market groups.

    EntityFlo vs. Athennian
    EntityFlo is built around the Australian regulatory model.

    Athennian provides entity and people records, cap table, structure charts, document management and a global compliance calendar across many jurisdictions, with strong adoption among PE, funds and large law firms. It is not a registered integrated with ASIC, so direct ASIC lodgement isn't part of the platform. EntityFlo covers a narrower geographic footprint but lodges directly with ASIC, models discretionary trusts with look-through, and includes an Australian-aligned obligation and renewal layer.

    EntityFlo vs. BGL CAS 360
    EntityFlo is aimed at in-house teams managing related corporate groups.

    BGL's CAS 360 is widely used across Australian and NZ accounting and legal practices for ASIC form preparation and lodgement, annual reviews, trust register maintenance, ID verification, and digital signing via partner integrations. EntityFlo overlaps on ASIC lodgement and trust support, but is positioned for in-house legal, finance and company secretarial teams managing groups of related entities — adding cross-entity governance, conflicts register, board meeting workflow and a UBO look-through model.

    EntityFlo vs. NowInfinity
    EntityFlo is focused on in-house multi-entity governance.

    NowInfinity (part of Class) is widely used by Australian accounting practices for company set-ups, trust and SMSF deed generation, ASIC Corporate Messenger lodgement, and document workflow. EntityFlo doesn't generate trust or SMSF deeds; it focuses on the ongoing governance of an established group — cross-entity obligations, conflicts register, board meeting workflow, and trust look-through for UBO.

    EntityFlo vs. Consultants & Spreadsheets
    EntityFlo replaces the manual reconciliation, not the advice.

    Many groups still rely on spreadsheets, shared drives and external advisers to keep the entity picture aligned. EntityFlo replaces the manual reconciliation between registry data, internal records and trust structures so external advisers can focus on judgement rather than data assembly.
