SOLUTIONS — ACCOUNTING · UK · US

AI that handles the volume so your team handles the judgment

Accounting practices run on process. Tax returns, reconciliations, evidence gathering, filing — high-volume, rules-based work that follows predictable patterns. These are exactly the conditions where AI delivers the fastest ROI.

REF-004·UK·ACCOUNTING

£580k/yr in partner time recovered. Tax-season throughput tripled.

A 12-partner UK practice was capping tax-season volume at 240 returns because partners couldn't review faster. We built an automated SA100 + CT600 pipeline: client documents OCR'd and extracted, computations run against UK 2025/26 statutory rates, draft returns presented for partner review in 38 minutes instead of 4 hours. Tax-season throughput hit 850 returns.

001_THE PROBLEM

Your most expensive people are doing your least valuable work_

Senior accountants spending hours chasing bank statements. Managers manually reconciling transactions. Partners reviewing reports that could have been drafted in minutes. The bottleneck isn't expertise — it's the admin overhead that stops your team from using it.

Most practices know AI could help. Some have tried Xero's built-in features or experimented with ChatGPT. But firm-wide deployment — systems that connect to your platform, follow your processes, and handle your compliance requirements — requires someone to build it. That's what we do.

002_USE CASES

What we build for accounting practices_

01

Tax return preparation

4-8 weeks · £15-40k / $20-50k

AI pre-fills returns from structured client data, flags anomalies and missing information, and prepares submission-ready documents for review. Handles SA100, corporation tax, and partnership returns in the UK; 1040, 1120, and 1065 in the US.

02

Audit evidence gathering

6-8 weeks · £20-40k / $25-50k

AI retrieves and organises supporting documents from client systems — bank statements, invoices, contracts, correspondence. Evidence is matched to audit assertions and filed in your workpaper structure automatically.

03

Client reporting

4-6 weeks · £15-35k / $20-45k

AI drafts management accounts, commentary, and periodic reports from Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent data. Each report follows your firm's template and voice. Partners review and approve — not write from scratch.

04

Bank reconciliation

4-6 weeks · £15-30k / $20-40k

AI matches transactions across sources — bank feeds, invoices, receipts, payment records. Exceptions are flagged for human review. Turns a multi-hour weekly task into a 15-minute review.

05

Regulatory filing

4-8 weeks · £15-35k / $20-45k

Automated preparation and submission of Companies House filings, HMRC returns, confirmation statements, and annual accounts in the UK. IRS filings and state-level compliance in the US. Deadline tracking and escalation built in.

06

Client onboarding

3-5 weeks · £10-25k / $13-30k

AI collects, validates, and files new client documents. AML checks run automatically. Engagement letters are generated and sent for e-signature. The client record is created in your practice management platform.

004_COMMON QUESTIONS
Which accounting platforms do you integrate with? +

Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, MYOB, and FreshBooks. We also connect to HMRC and Companies House APIs in the UK, and IRS e-file systems in the US.

Can AI handle the complexity of tax advisory work? +

AI handles the data gathering, pre-filling, and anomaly detection. The advisory judgment stays with your team. The system surfaces the information your advisors need faster — it doesn't replace their expertise.

Is this compliant with audit standards? +

Yes. Systems are built with full audit trails, logging every action and decision. We design for ISA compliance in the UK and GAAS in the US. Your audit methodology stays intact — we automate the evidence gathering, not the judgment.

How do you handle client data confidentiality? +

Client data stays on infrastructure in your jurisdiction. All processing is logged and auditable. We comply with ICAEW, ACCA, and AICPA guidance on technology use in practice.

What size practice benefits most? +

Practices with 10-200 professionals see the highest ROI. Large enough to have meaningful process overhead, focused enough that a few well-placed systems transform daily operations.

Can we start with just one workflow? +

Yes. Most practices start with tax return preparation or bank reconciliation — high-volume, repetitive processes where the ROI is fastest. Start with the AI Audit (£3,500) to identify which workflow delivers the most value.
