The billable hours are fine. It's the other hours.
Ask any practice where January went: chasing client records, re-keying figures between systems, and answering "did you get my email?" for the third time. The expertise is never the bottleneck — the paperwork around it is.
We work on that layer. The firm keeps the judgement; the chasing, sorting and status updates stop being anyone's job.
Where the accounting week actually goes
The January problem
A year's pressure in one month
Self-assessment season lands all at once. Firms staff for the peak, then carry that cost through the quiet months.
The document chase
Month-end waits on missing records
Every job stalls on the same thing: a bank statement or invoice that hasn't arrived, and nobody whose job it is to chase it.
Re-keying
Same figures, three systems
Data arrives in PDFs and photos, gets typed into workpapers, then typed again into the ledger. Errors ride along.
The MTD deadline
Digital tax filing goes mandatory
From April 2026, Making Tax Digital brings quarterly digital records for sole traders and landlords — whole client books need migrating.
From an accounting moment you’ll recognise to a measurable change.
Use case 01 — Month-end collection
The file is half-ready and the deadline isn't moving
We build on Neo Accounting Software: clients drop documents in one place, missing items are chased automatically, clean data syncs to Sage and Xero.
Staff review instead of collect
Use case 02 — MTD migration
Hundreds of clients still keep paper records
We build a practical migration path for Making Tax Digital — client-by-client onboarding to digital record-keeping, with quarterly submissions set up properly.
Ready before April 2026, not after
Use case 03 — Seasonal capacity
January needs five more people; July needs none
We build trained bookkeeping and AP/AR pods that absorb the peak — briefed on your standards, working in your systems.
Peak capacity without permanent payroll
Use case 04 — Client onboarding
A new client means a week of forms and checks
We build digital onboarding with engagement letters, ID verification and AML checks in one flow — evidence filed as it happens.
Compliant from the first day
Use case 05 — Advisory dashboards
The numbers are ready but the meeting is just a PDF
We build client dashboards that turn compliance data into a conversation — cash, margins and trends a client can actually read.
Advisory work worth a higher fee
Use case 06 — Practice growth
New work arrives only when someone refers it
We build the firm's own pipeline: a credible website, content that answers real client questions, and follow-up that doesn't forget.
