Agentic OS for accountancies.

Your team stops chasing receipts and coding transactions, and starts doing the advisory work clients pay premium rates for. Compliance runs in the background on schedule. We build the system on top of your existing software — Exact, Twinfield, whatever you use — and hand you the keys.

The buyer

A compliance-driven firm that wants to grow advisory

4–20 staff serving SMB clients with bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, annual accounts, and tax. Revenue is recurring, predictable, and low-margin; advisory is the higher-margin upside everyone wants but never has time for. Here's where the time goes first.

Document collection

Chasing receipts, invoices, bank statements, and payroll inputs. The single biggest time-suck in any accountancy.

Bookkeeping & categorisation

Coding transactions, matching invoices to payments, handling the exceptions.

VAT & compliance returns

Quarterly cycles of pulling data, reconciling, and filing. Highly repetitive but error-sensitive.

Annual accounts

Gathering, drafting, review, and filing with the company registry and tax authority.

Client queries

“Can I deduct this?” “What's my VAT position?” “How much should I set aside for tax?” Constant low-value interruptions.

No time for advisory

Cash flow forecasts, tax planning, business advice — the higher-margin work everyone wants to do but rarely has bandwidth for.

The Agentic OS for an accountancy

A constellation of specialised agents on top of the software you already run, with an accountant reviewing the exceptions rather than processing everything.

The collection agent

Chases client documents on a schedule. Knows what each client owes, when, and in what format. Sends reminders, accepts uploads or email forwards, parses receipts and invoices automatically, and files them in the right place. Escalates only the genuinely stuck cases. The single biggest time-saver in the firm.

The bookkeeping agent

Does first-pass transaction categorisation against the firm's chart of accounts and the client's history. Flags exceptions and matches invoices to bank lines. The accountant reviews exceptions rather than processing every transaction.

The compliance agent

Runs the recurring cycle — pulls the data, runs the reconciliations, drafts the VAT return, surfaces anything unusual for review, and files when approved. Same pattern for payroll and other recurring filings.

The accounts agent

Assembles annual accounts from the year's data, drafts the management report, flags inconsistencies against prior years, and prepares the filing package.

The client query agent

Handles inbound questions across email and a client portal. Answers routine questions directly from the data, drafts responses to advisory questions for review, and triages anything that needs a human.

The advisory agent

The upside play. Generates cash flow forecasts, tax-saving suggestions, scenario models, and quarterly business reviews from each client's data automatically — turning a compliance shop into an advisory firm without hiring anyone.

The onboarding agent

Runs new client setup — KYC/AML, system provisioning, opening balance migration, document collection, and kick-off comms.

What's different about accountancy

The dynamics flip in useful ways — and they shape where the leverage is.

The data is structured

Accountancy runs on numbers in systems, not free text in documents. That makes the agents more reliable and the integrations more valuable — connecting to Exact, Twinfield, Visma, or Xero APIs is where most of the leverage comes from.

The work is recurring

Same VAT cycle every quarter, same year-end every year. Once one client's flow is automated, the marginal cost of the next is tiny.

Advisory is the real story

Compliance automation is table stakes. The firm that can also offer always-on advisory pulls ahead — so that's where the engagement aims, not just at cost reduction.

How the engagement works

Two paid steps. Discovery first; the build is quoted from what discovery surfaces.

Step 1 — Discovery & Blueprint

2–3 weeks

We map the firm's client portfolio — segments, software stack per client, recurring obligations — and identify the 5–10 clients to pilot with: a mix of simple bookkeeping clients and one or two advisory-ready ones. We define the chart-of-accounts conventions and firm-specific rules the agents need to learn.

Deliverable: A blueprint specific to your firm, with a quoted price and timeline for the build. Yours to keep.

Fixed price: €10–15K.

Step 2 — Build & Implementation

quoted after discovery

Connect to your accounting software, bank feeds, document management, and client portal. Ship the collection and bookkeeping agents first — the fastest visible win — then compliance and query agents. Each runs alongside your existing process and gradually takes over as confidence builds. The bigger change is cultural: accountants going from doers to reviewers.

Deliverable: A working Agentic OS. Accountancy carries more integration than real estate and less security ceremony than law — typically the lower-to-mid range of the build band.

Price: €40–120K depending on scope.

Step 3 — Optional retainer

ongoing

Especially valuable here: agents need tuning per tax year, per regulation change, and per new client onboarded.

€4–6K / month.
