For accountants and bookkeepers

You introduce the clients. We build the systems they need.

Their month-end takes days, and they're asking you to fix it: work outside your scope, and an awkward conversation. Introduce them to us. We fix it at the source, and your clients stay yours.

  • Systems built around how each client already works
  • Cleaner data and better reporting for you to advise on
  • 15% of every build you introduce, disclosed, or passed to your client

No cost to your practice. No exclusivity.

How a referral works
  1. 1

    You spot the signs

    A client mentions a spreadsheet only one person understands, or a month-end that takes days.

  2. 2

    They get a free admin health check

    30 minutes on how they quote, invoice and report today, and a short written summary.

  3. 3

    If it's a fit, we build it

    At a fixed price. You get cleaner data and, once the client has paid, a disclosed reward for your practice, or a donation to a charity of your choice, or to our recommended charity, the Village Projects Foundation.

For a UK specialist supplier, a quote went from about 1–2 hours to about 5 minutes, and the whole team can now quote.

A partnership where everyone wins

For your practice
  • Cleaner data and better reporting to advise on.
  • An advisory add-on: we do the systems half, the numbers half is yours to bill.
  • A disclosed reward of 15% of the build price (£450 on a £3,000 build), or pass it to your client.
For your client
  • Less admin and less re-keying.
  • A system built around how they already work, which they own.
  • Better numbers, from data that's right first time.
For us
  • The build: a fixed-price project for a client who came recommended by someone they trust.
  • That's how we're paid, so we only do well when your client does.
Working together
  • You stay the trusted adviser, and your clients stay yours.
  • Bringing a client a real improvement gives them one more reason to stay with you.

You see the admin problems when they reach your desk

Most owner-managed businesses run their quoting, jobs and invoicing on spreadsheets and email. The same figures get typed in two or three times, and the slips surface later: invoices that don't match the job, costs coded to the wrong place, margins nobody can explain until year-end.

That's the part we fix. Not the books, but the admin that feeds them. When quotes, jobs and invoices come from the same data, what reaches you is more complete and more consistent, and there's less to chase.

What your client gets

  • Software built around how they already work, which they own, with no per-user licence fees
  • Quotes, jobs and invoices from the same data, so nothing is typed in twice
  • Reporting connected to Xero and the systems they already use
  • A fixed price agreed before work starts. Builds start from £3,000.

1–2 hours → 5 minutes

Roughly how long one quote takes a UK specialist supplier, before and after the quoting tool we built. The whole team can now quote, and every quote feeds their reporting.

Your clients stay yours

  • We don't do accountancy, bookkeeping, tax or payroll. We build software.
  • With your client's agreement, we copy you in on the health-check summary and tell you if a project goes ahead.
  • No exclusivity and no cost. Introduce us as often or as rarely as suits you.
  • If an off-the-shelf app already suits your client, we'll say so.

How the reward stays above board

  • Every referral reward is disclosed to your client, and we confirm the amount to them in writing.
  • Under the ICAEW, ACCA and AAT codes, your practice needs your client's written consent to keep a referral fee. Most practices cover this in their engagement letter.
  • Or pass it on: the reward comes off your client's build, or goes to a charity of your choice. The charity we support is the Village Projects Foundation, a UK registered charity (no. 1202332) supporting education in Ghana and Kenya; we work closely with them and have donated to their projects before.
  • It's set out in a written introducer agreement with your firm, not with individual staff.
  • We pay only once the client has paid for the build. Nothing is paid for introductions that don't go ahead.

This is a summary, not the agreement. Check your own professional body's guidance on referral fees.

When to mention us

Owner-managed businesses, typically 10 to 200 staff, where you hear one of these.

"It's all in a spreadsheet"

And only one person really understands it.

The same figures typed in twice

From quotes into job sheets, and from job sheets into invoices or Xero.

Month-end takes days

Because someone pulls it together by hand.

Margins need a manual export

Nobody can say how a job or a month went until the figures are rebuilt.

If you look after construction or CIS clients

Their margins are set at the quote, before the figures reach you

Many of the businesses we build for are contractors, subcontractors and installers who price every job differently, often from an estimator's own workbook. A quoting tool built on their rates, materials and labour makes the price consistent, and the job and invoice follow from it.

  • Quotes priced from their own rates, uplifts and exceptions
  • The whole team can quote, not just one estimator
  • Won, lost and margin reporting they can talk through with you
  • A UK specialist supplier: about 1–2 hours down to about 5 minutes per quote

Questions practices ask

Do we have to tell our client about the reward?

Yes. Every reward is disclosed to the client, and we confirm the amount to them in writing too. Under the ICAEW, ACCA and AAT codes your practice needs your client's written consent to keep a referral fee, whatever the amount. Most practices cover this with a line in their engagement letter. The reward is 15% of the build price (£450 on a £3,000 build), so you can give a fair indication of the amount up front. If you'd rather not keep it, it comes off your client's build or goes to a charity of your choice. The charity we support is the Village Projects Foundation, a UK registered charity (no. 1202332) supporting education in Ghana and Kenya, which we work closely with and have donated to before.

What does it cost our practice?

Nothing. There's no fee to join, no target to hit and nothing to buy. We pay only when an introduction turns into a project and the client has paid for the build.

Is it exclusive?

No. Work with any other software providers you like, and introduce us as often or as rarely as suits your clients.

What happens after an introduction?

We contact your client within one working day and book a free 30-minute admin health check. They get a short written summary of what could change, whether or not they go further. If a build makes sense, we agree the scope and a fixed price with them before anything starts. With your client's agreement, we keep you informed at each step.

Which clients are a good fit?

Owner-managed businesses, typically 10 to 200 staff, whose quoting, jobs or invoicing run on spreadsheets and re-keying. Contractors, subcontractors and installers who price every job differently are a particularly good fit. Very small businesses with little repeat admin usually aren't, and if an off-the-shelf app already suits a client, we'll say so.

What don't you do?

We don't do accountancy, bookkeeping, tax or payroll work, and we don't give financial advice or arrange finance. We build software that the client owns. The numbers, and the advice on them, stay with you.

How much does a build cost the client?

Builds start from £3,000, at a fixed price agreed in writing before work starts. The client owns what we build, with no per-user licence fees.

Who receives the reward?

The firm, under a written introducer agreement with your practice. We don't pay individual members of staff.
