For accounting and bookkeeping firms

Your best people should be doing advisory, not bookkeeping. AI can move them up the value chain.

We build a free, costed AI Accounting Roadmap that shows where AI takes the compliance grind off your team, with the governance you need to stay safe under FRC and HMRC scrutiny.

Recognise yourself

If any of this sounds familiar, the call is worth it

  • Junior team time is spent on bookkeeping that AI can do faster, cheaper and with fewer errors.
  • Onboarding new clients takes weeks because every firm reinvents the discovery and engagement-letter process.
  • Partner judgement still lives in heads, and quality varies by who ran the engagement.
  • AI tools are creeping into junior workflows informally, with no governance and no audit trail.

From the founders' track record.

Professional Services ERP

ERP

Challenge

A global professional-services firm needed a clear route from fragmented requirements to a coherent ERP plan, with confidence on scope, sequence, data migration and adoption risk.

What was built

Led discovery and solution shaping across business processes, ERP module mapping, GAP analysis, MVP definition and a phased roadmap, built around native-first configuration and business-readable effort.

Outcome

  • Clear phased roadmap
  • Scope confidence for leadership
  • Native-first delivery
  • Governed go-live plan

Common questions

Things people ask before booking

  • Will my partners support this?

    Yes, once they see what it frees them to do. The roadmap goes to partners, not to staff.

  • We are concerned about client data privacy.

    So are we. The roadmap covers data residency, model isolation and audit trails. We do not deploy AI that compromises client confidentiality.

  • How long does the call take?

    Thirty to forty-five minutes.

A simple guarantee

If we cannot map at least three quick wins for you on the call, you walk away with a written referral to a more relevant specialist. No charge, no hard feelings.
