Remove month end.
Turn the hours into new fees.

Most tools set out to make the close faster. We've taken it out altogether. Costs and revenues are recognised at source, so your clients can see where they stand every day. New data and your saved hours can turn into new advisory work you can bill.

Who built it

Built by accountants, with accountants

A lot of finance software gets designed founder-first and sold to accountants afterwards. We went the other way round.
Checklist showing bank reconciled, revenue recognised and reviewed by your accountant, with all checks passed.

Led by an ACA with a Big Four background in audit and M&A, and over a decade as a fractional CFO. We've run the close ourselves and know what's important.

We've built the product with the support of a closed group of CFOs, fractional CFOs and practice leaders, inputting to the build at every step.

Double entry, recognition treatment and an audit trail a reviewer can follow. We built the foundations an accountant checks first, before worrying about how the screens looked.

The deal

A partnership that works for both sides

We're not interested in referral fee structures or complicated tier systems. We want to build great software that helps practices deliver more to their clients, spend less time getting data into shape and support better business outcomes.

The Cost
A reduced price for your clients. Clients introduced by a certified partner pay £149, and that holds for as long as a certified practice acts for them. So you save them £600 a year.
The quoted cost and the free practice licence cover the core platform. Add-ons like additional employee expenses, AI credits and automatic supplier payments are charged based on usage, as normal. We'll set out exactly what's included before you commit to anything.

What changes

Better for your clients. Better for your practice

Automation is taking the data preparation and the close. What it can't take is the responsibility, the judgement about what a business should do next, what they should be mindful of, what actions would actually change the outcome, or the client relationship. That work is growing, it's worth more than the work it replaces, and it's always needed numbers that are right today.
01   For founders
Live visibility.
Financial data for today.
Forward-looking data.
Forecasting that reflects the business right now, not last quarter.
Cash flow forecasting.
Projections built on when clients actually get paid.
AI that shows its working.
Every calculation traceable, every action logged.
02   For your practice
Automated cost and revenue recognition.
Modern live recognition journalling, at no extra cost, removing month end work.
AI workflow tools.
Routine tasks automated. Checks carried out easily, with a full audit trail.
Deeper client visibility.
What's happening now, not what last month's accounts tell you.
Built-in task management.
Designed to manage within the ledger for direct answers from your clients, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
The Obvious Question

You don't have to move your practice

Your workflows are built around Xero or QuickBooks and your team knows them inside out. We're not asking you to throw all of that away. Start with one client and migrate as makes sense for you and your clients.
The clients worth moving first
Funded or fast-growing businesses, subscription revenue, PE-backed, or anyone with a founder or a fractional CFO who needs to know where things stand now. These are the clients where a monthly reporting cycle is holding everyone back.
