Group structure charts for accountants and advisers

Build clear corporate group structure charts in minutes — holding companies, subsidiaries, shareholdings, trusts and directors — straight from ASIC and Xero Practice Manager data, and keep them current as the group changes.

What a group structure chart shows

Who owns what

Each company in the group and who holds its shares — individuals, other companies or trusts — with the share class and percentage.

Who runs it

Directors and secretaries for each company, so control is visible alongside ownership.

How the group fits together

Holding companies, intermediate holding companies and operating subsidiaries, laid out from the top of the group down.

How it will change

Restructures, new subsidiaries and changes of shareholder, shown as proposed changes before they happen.

How to create a group structure chart

  1. Step 1

    Import the companies

    Download company details straight from ASIC or import PDF ASIC extracts, including officeholders and shareholders. Or import clients from Xero Practice Manager (XPM).

  2. Step 2

    Let the chart lay itself out

    Auto-layout positions every company and untangles crossing lines, even for groups with hundreds of entities.

  3. Step 3

    Model the restructure

    Add proposed companies and shareholdings in a scenario, switch between it and the current group, and export either as a high-resolution PDF or PNG.

A group structure chart tool that knows the rules

StructureGram understands Australian companies and trusts, and checks each relationship against rules like these as you add it.

  • Shareholdings entered as share counts, with percentages calculated for you
  • Only valid entity types can be trustees
  • Share classes tracked for each holding
  • Duplicate entities detected

Catch structure mistakes as you build, not in review.

Group structure chart questions

What should a group structure chart show?

Every company in the group, who holds its shares (with share class and percentage), its directors, and any trusts or individuals that own or control part of the group.

Can I build the chart from ASIC data?

Yes. Download company details directly from ASIC or import PDF ASIC extracts, and StructureGram creates the companies, officeholders, shareholders and relationships for you to review.

Can I model a restructure before it happens?

Yes. Add proposed companies and shareholdings in a scenario, then switch between it and the current group to show the client the structure before and after the restructure.

What does StructureGram cost?

Your first client group is free. Paid plans are based on how many client groups you manage, every plan includes unlimited users, and paying annually gives you two months free. See the pricing page for current plans.

Is this suitable for complex group structures?

Yes. No limits on entity count or relationship complexity. This is an enterprise-grade application that handles the most complex and large structures (500+ entities and 1,000s of relationships) automatically. Modern algorithms position entities on the canvas and unwind crossed-relationship lines.
