For Accountants

How we help

We help accounting and bookkeeping practices streamline how they work — freeing up partner and staff time from manual processes, and building the operational foundation for AI to actually deliver value.

We've already helped multiple accounting practices rethink how they operate and gain efficiencies (and profit).

Work With Us
The Accounting Practice AI Readiness Sprint

A focused 2–4 week deep dive into your practice.

Often onboarding, bookkeeping operations, or client communications. We map how the function actually runs today, identify where AI and automation can genuinely reduce manual work without compromising accuracy or compliance, and leave you with a clear, prioritised roadmap.

Step 01

Listen

Stakeholder interviews with partners and team — understanding where the pressure really sits.

Step 02

Map

Process mapping of the chosen function — how work actually flows, not how it's supposed to.

Step 03

Diagnose

Root cause analysis of where time is actually going — and what's worth fixing first.

Step 04

Roadmap

A prioritised roadmap of AI and automation opportunities, sequenced by effort vs. impact.

Ready to see where AI can genuinely move the needle?

Case Study

Six Degrees Accounting Ltd.

Six Degrees came to us with onboarding spread across email threads, spreadsheets and chasing — and accounts production that leaned heavily on senior time for routine steps.

We mapped both processes end-to-end, automated document collection, ID checks and job set-up, and rebuilt accounts production around a standardised workflow with the right handoffs between their existing tools.

Where we typically find opportunity.

Client onboarding & document collection
Chasing paperwork, manual ID checks, repetitive back-and-forth email threads.
Data entry & reconciliation
Manual bookkeeping tasks that eat junior staff time and introduce errors.
Capacity & workflow planning
Deadline bottlenecks around VAT quarters, year-end, and tax season, with little visibility into team capacity until it's too late.
Client communication & query triage
Routine questions absorbing partner/senior time that could be handled faster elsewhere.
Practice management systems
Tools (Xero, QuickBooks, practice management software) that aren't talking to each other, creating duplicate manual work.

Why accounting practices work with us

Most consultants either understand accounting workflows or understand AI — rarely both. We bridge the two: operational thinking that respects the realities of compliance, deadlines and client trust, combined with genuine AI and automation expertise. With accountancy qualifications and years of practice experience we actually understand your day to day and know how to better it.

Every recommendation is practical, proportionate, and built to actually get used — not a slide deck full of buzzwords.
