The problem
What's costing your accounting firms time and money right now.
Data entry consumes your most expensive people
Qualified accountants manually keying invoices, receipts, and bank statements into Xero or QuickBooks. It's the most wasteful use of a trained professional's time in any industry.
Tax season is a staffing crisis every year
January to April, your team works evenings and weekends. You hire temps who need training. Quality drops. Errors increase. Clients complain about wait times. The same crisis, every single year.
Client document chasing never ends
You send the document request. Nothing happens. You chase. Still nothing. You chase again. The client sends half of what you asked for. You clarify. They send the wrong files. Weeks pass.
Compliance monitoring is reactive, not proactive
You find out about missed deadlines after they've been missed. Filing dates, MTD submissions, corporation tax deadlines. Keeping track across hundreds of clients with manual reminders is a system that fails at scale.
Services for Accounting Firms
Six AI systems designed for how accounting firms actually work.
Tax and compliance knowledge base
An AI trained on HMRC guidance, tax legislation, and your firm's internal procedures. Your team asks questions in plain English and gets answers with source references. Junior staff get instant support without pulling seniors off client work.
Client onboarding and engagement
New client signs up. AI generates the engagement letter, sends AML checks, collects company details, sets up the client in your practice management system, and creates the initial document request. What took a week now takes an hour.
Automated bookkeeping and reconciliation
AI reads bank feeds, categorises transactions, matches invoices, flags anomalies, and prepares reconciliation reports. Your bookkeepers review exceptions instead of processing every transaction manually.
Document processing and extraction
Clients upload documents. AI reads them, extracts the relevant figures, categorises by type (invoice, receipt, bank statement, contract), and files them against the correct client and period. No more manual sorting.
Advisory upsell identification
AI analyses your client base and flags opportunities: businesses approaching VAT thresholds, companies with R&D spend eligible for tax credits, sole traders who'd benefit from incorporation. Your partners reach out with specific, timely advice.
Training embedded in delivery
Your team shapes the AI systems during the build. By launch, they're already comfortable with the tools because they've been testing them weekly. Adoption stays above 85% because the team owns the system.
Real-world applications
What this looks like in practice.
Automated client document collection
AI sends the document request with clear, specific instructions. Follows up automatically at intervals you set. Parses what the client uploads, checks completeness, and flags what's still missing. Your team only steps in when everything's ready for review.
Transaction categorisation and reconciliation
Bank feed comes in. AI categorises every transaction based on historical patterns, supplier names, and amount ranges. Matches against invoices. Flags anything unusual. Your bookkeeper reviews a clean exceptions report instead of processing hundreds of line items.
Compliance deadline monitoring
AI tracks every filing deadline across your entire client base. Sends reminders to clients and staff at intervals you define. Escalates automatically when deadlines approach with incomplete work. No more missed filings because someone forgot to check the spreadsheet.
