CrestLabs designs and builds custom software, automation, and fintech tools for Australian investors and business operators — purpose-built for the problems no off-the-shelf product solves.
What We Build
Every engagement is different. These are the domains where we have deep working knowledge and proven output.
Automated trading bots, options strategy dashboards, portfolio analytics, and income-generating systems for active investors. Built on real strategies that run real money.
Custom internal tools, staff compliance systems, reporting dashboards, and workflow automation for business owners who need software built around how they actually operate.
OCR pipelines, document processing, scheduled automations, and data integrations that eliminate manual work. If you're doing it by hand every week, we can automate it.
Custom portfolio interfaces, investment tracking dashboards, and wealth visualisation tools — built for investors who've outgrown generic apps and want something that reflects how they think.
Our Work
Everything below is real software in active use — not demos, not concepts.
A fully automated options wheel strategy bot with a real-time UI dashboard. Runs an income-generating trading cycle — cash-secured puts into covered calls — with live P&L tracking, position management, and alerting. Currently generating consistent monthly income.
A full-stack compliance system for franchise operators — tracks staff serving accuracy against weight targets via OCR-processed receipt scanning. Includes staff logins, per-employee performance records, and trend reporting. Replacing a fully manual process.
Eliminates the manual work of processing Return of Capital distributions in ShareSight — a time-consuming annual task for investors holding income-focused ETFs. Automates detection, calculation, and entry. Saves hours of manual reconciliation per tax year.
A custom portfolio management interface built for a multi-stream investment portfolio — ETFs, options, dividends, and cash. Real-time position views, income modelling, scenario analysis, and CSV-based transaction import. Built because nothing on the market handled the complexity.
Products
The best of what we've built is becoming available as standalone products for Australian investors.
If you hold income-focused ETFs in ShareSight — QQQI, SPYI, MLPI, VTS, FEPI and others — you know the pain of manually processing Return of Capital adjustments each financial year. It's tedious, error-prone, and takes hours.
We're turning our internal automation into a proper SaaS product. Connect your ShareSight account, run the tool, done. Launching later in 2026 for AU investors.

How We Work
No black boxes. You know what's being built, what it costs, and when it lands — before we write a line of code.
A free, no-obligation call to understand the problem — your current process, what's broken or missing, and what "done" looks like. We ask the questions; you don't need to arrive with a spec.
A written scope: what gets built, the timeline, and a fixed price or milestone-based cost. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it — no surprise invoices later.
Development happens in visible chunks with regular check-ins — not radio silence until a big reveal. You see progress and can course-correct early if something's off.
Documentation, a walkthrough, and a defined support window after delivery — so the tool keeps working once you're running it on your own.
About
CrestLabs started the way most useful software does — out of necessity. As a Brisbane-based business owner and active investor managing multiple income streams, we kept running into the same problem: the tools we needed didn't exist, and the ones that did weren't built for how we actually worked.
So we built them ourselves. Trading bots that generate real income. Compliance systems that replaced manual processes. Portfolio dashboards that reflect genuine complexity. Automations that gave back hours every week.
CrestLabs is now the studio behind those tools — and the place where other operators and investors can get the same kind of work done for their own problems.
Hire Us
We work with a small number of clients at a time — business owners, investors, and operators who have a specific problem and need it built properly. Four short steps, about two minutes — it gives us what we need to scope your project properly from the first call.
