Our Approach

SideKick removes
the grunt work so your
business can scale.

We map your most time-consuming workflows and replace them with intelligent automations - built around how your team actually works, not generic off-the-shelf tools.

1

Automation Audit

We assess your workflows and identify the highest-ROI automation opportunities.

2

Build & Integrate

Custom automations built into your existing tools - no rip-and-replace.

3

Measure & Iterate

We track time saved and iterate. Your automations compound over time.

Client Onboarding

Automate data collection, document requests, welcome sequences, and new client setup. Get clients onboarded faster with zero manual chasing.

Reporting & Documentation

Auto-generate reports, proposals, and client-facing documents. Eliminate manual copy-paste from your CRM or data sources into templates - every time.

AI Agents & CRM Automation

Meeting summaries, automated follow-ups, pipeline updates, and AI assistants that draft communications - all connected directly to your existing CRM and tools.

Application Form Automation

Automate investment, super, and insurance application forms instantly from Xplan client data. Stop spending hours on manual entry - done in under 45 seconds.

Your team spends most of their week
on admin. Not revenue-generating work.

In most businesses, people spend more than 40% of their week on tasks that have nothing to do with generating revenue - data entry, chasing documents, generating reports, updating systems.

We don't sell software. We build the automation infrastructure that takes those hours back - permanently.

Let's talk about your business

Where team time actually goes

Admin & data entry28%
Report & proposal writing18%
Internal coordination14%
Actual client-facing work40%

After SideKick, our clients typically flip these numbers - 60–70% of time on client-facing work.

Our Pricing Model

You only pay for
what you save.

Every automation we build is priced against the time it recovers for your team - measured in hours per week, valued at your team's hourly rate. Our fee is always less than the time savings we create.

That's not a marketing promise. It's how we structure every quote. Positive ROI isn't a goal - it's a precondition.

1

We calculate your time cost

We measure how long your team spends on the task manually - hours per week, per person.

2

We price below that value

Our fee is set below the dollar value of time you'll recover - so your ROI is positive from day one.

3

If it doesn't deliver, you don't pay

If your automation isn't saving significantly more time than doing it manually, request a full refund within 30 days. No questions asked.

How the ROI works

Time saved × your hourly rate

e.g. 8 hrs/wk × $75/hr = $600/week

FAQ

Common questions about
AI automation.

What types of tasks can you automate?
If your team does it repeatedly, it can almost certainly be automated. Common examples include: client onboarding and data collection, document and report generation, CRM updates and follow-up sequences, data entry between platforms, application form completion, invoice and billing workflows, and internal approval processes. The best starting point is any task that's high-volume, rule-based, and eats hours every week.
What's the difference between AI automation and regular automation?
Traditional automation follows rigid rules - if X happens, do Y. It breaks the moment something falls outside the expected format. AI automation uses large language models to handle variability: reading unstructured documents, extracting meaning from emails, drafting context-aware responses, and making judgment calls that would otherwise need a human. We use both depending on what the task requires - often combining them so the AI handles the messy inputs and the automation handles the structured outputs.
Do I need to replace my existing software?
No. We build around your existing tools - CRMs, spreadsheets, cloud storage, practice management software, whatever you're already using. Our automations connect systems that don't talk to each other natively, without requiring you to change platforms or retrain your team on new software. The less disruption, the better.
Will the automation break if something changes?
All automations we build include error handling and alerting - if something fails, you get notified immediately rather than silently losing data. We also hand over full documentation so your team understands how it works. For anything business-critical, we build in redundancy and manual fallbacks. Tools do change, and when they do, most updates are minor fixes rather than rebuilds.
Can AI automation replace staff?
That's not how we think about it - and in our experience, it's not how clients use it either. Automation removes the low-value repetitive work that slows your team down, freeing them to focus on the work that actually requires human judgment, relationships, and expertise. The businesses we work with don't reduce headcount - they handle more volume with the same team, or redirect that time to higher-margin work.
How long does implementation take?
Most clients are live within 2–3 weeks. We start with a discovery session to identify the highest-ROI tasks, then build, test, and hand over with full documentation. Complex multi-platform integrations typically take 4–6 weeks. We don't drag projects out - the faster your automation is live, the faster it's saving you time.
How much does it cost?
We use value-based pricing - every automation is quoted against the time it saves your team, measured in hours per week at your hourly rate. Our fee is always less than the time savings we create, so positive ROI is built in from day one. If your automation isn't saving significantly more time than doing it manually, request a full refund within 30 days. No questions asked.
Where are you based?
SideKick Studio is based in Brisbane, Queensland and Melbourne, Victoria. We work with businesses across Australia remotely.
