Stop year-end from owning your life.
Accountancy AI
Year-end does not have to mean late nights and stressed staff. AI for accountancy practices automates the data-heavy, time-consuming work so your team can focus on the client relationships that actually matter.
The problem
AI for accountancy practices - tackling the busy season problem
Quick answer
AI for accountancy practices automates the time-consuming, data-heavy tasks that make year-end and self-assessment season so costly - document ingestion, data extraction, client chasing, and draft preparation. UK accounting firms using AI during busy seasons typically process significantly more files without increasing staff costs.
Every year, the same thing happens. Client documents arrive late. Data needs to be pulled from multiple sources. Reconciliations take days. Staff work evenings. The practice runs at full capacity but the margin doesn't reflect it.
AI does not solve the problem of clients who don't send their bank statements on time. What it does is compress the work that happens once the documents arrive - dramatically reducing the time from receipt to draft accounts.
Where it helps most
The year-end tasks AI takes off your team's plate
Document ingestion and data extraction
AI reads bank statements, receipts, and supplier invoices and extracts structured data - eliminating manual entry for the bulk of transaction processing.
Client information chasing
Automated, personalised reminders for missing documents - sent at the right time, in the right tone, without anyone in your team drafting them.
Reconciliation support
AI flags mismatches and anomalies in transaction data, reducing the time your team spends finding and resolving discrepancies.
Draft account preparation
From structured data, AI generates a working draft for your accountant to review and finalise - compressing the time to first draft significantly.
