AI in accounting

Put AI to work in your finance function

We help owner-managed businesses use AI and automation to take the routine out of bookkeeping and reporting. Receipts captured automatically, your systems talking to Xero, and checks that run every time – with an accountant reviewing the results.

What it can mean for you

  • Less time keying in and chasing paperwork
  • Figures you can look at during the month, not months later
  • The same checks done the same way, every time
  • Problems spotted before they reach HMRC

Where it helps

Small changes that add up

Every business is different, so we start with how your figures get from your systems into your accounts today, and look at where automation would save the most time. Typical areas include:

Receipt and invoice capture

Photograph a receipt or forward a bill and it is read, coded and sent to Xero, using tools such as Dext.

Connecting your systems

Your CRM, sales or stock system linked to Xero, so sales and costs flow through without being typed in twice.

Automated checks

VAT, profit and loss and balance sheet checks that run the same way each month, with anything unusual flagged for review.

Live reporting

A simple dashboard showing how the business is doing, kept up to date as the books are.

Example

A car dealer using Click Dealer, Dext and Xero

The dealer's stock and vehicle sales sit in Click Dealer, purchase invoices and receipts go through Dext, and the books are kept in Xero. We bring all three together into one live review dashboard (an AI-built “artifact”), which pulls the figures together and runs the same cross-checks every time.

A Tax Plus accountant reviews the results – nothing is filed until a person has checked it.

How we work

Start small, build from there

  1. Talk it throughWe look at how your figures reach Xero today and where the time goes.
  2. Suggest what to automateA short list of changes, starting with the ones likely to save the most time.
  3. Build and testWe set it up and run it alongside your current process until you're happy with it.
  4. Keep it checkedThe checks keep running, and we review the results with you.

Fees

A fixed fee, agreed up front

We would normally quote a fixed fee for setting this up, agreed before we start, so you know the cost from the outset. If you would like us to keep the checks running and review the results each month, that can be added to your regular fee.

AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgement. We explain where your data is held before we start – see our privacy policy.
