Understand your business. Build the right finance setup. Support you as you grow.
We work with owner-managed UK businesses that need clearer numbers, stronger processes and better finance support, as part of your team rather than at arm’s length.
Finance built into how the business makes decisions
At AI Accounts, we work with owner-managed UK businesses that need clearer numbers, stronger processes and better finance support.
We do not sit at arm’s length and only appear at year-end. We work closely with founders and teams, so finance becomes part of how the business makes decisions, not an afterthought once the year is over.
What we focus on
- Clear, reliable monthly numbers
- Stronger systems and processes
- Reporting you can actually use
- Support that grows with you
How we get started with you
A clear, structured start so finance is set up properly from day one.
Intro call
We start by understanding your business, current finance setup, challenges and growth plans, so we can see what support you need now and where finance needs to improve as you grow.
Scope review
We look at which level fits best, Finance Foundations, Finance Operations or Fractional CFO, reviewing your systems, reporting needs, team structure, volumes and deadlines.
Proposal
You receive a clear proposal setting out the monthly fee, what is included and how we will work together, including the agreed scope, key responsibilities and any one-off setup work.
Setup and handover
Once agreed, we get access to the right systems, review your records and agree key monthly deadlines. We liaise with previous accountants or internal team members where needed, so the handover is smooth.
Monthly rhythm
We put a clear monthly process in place for bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, reporting, cash flow or CFO support, with clear cut-off dates and review points.
Review and improve
As your business grows, we review the support and adjust where needed, whether that means stronger reporting, better systems, or moving between Finance Foundations, Finance Operations and Fractional CFO.
Finance that feels organised and useful
When finance is set up well, the day to day gets calmer and the numbers get clearer.
- Clear monthly deadlines
- Regular communication
- Practical finance advice
- Joined-up bookkeeping, payroll and reporting
- Fewer last-minute finance surprises
- Better visibility over cash and performance
- Support that can grow with the business
Who we work best with
We work best with founders and leadership teams who want finance to be organised, useful and part of decision-making. This usually includes:
- Owner-managed businesses that need solid finance foundations
- Growing businesses that need better systems and reporting
- Businesses that need CFO-level support without a full-time hire
- Tech, SaaS, AI and service-led businesses with growth plans
As part of your team, not at a distance
Part of your team
We work inside your business as part of your finance team. Where helpful, we can work from your business email address on a white-label basis, so clients, suppliers and team members have one clear finance contact. This helps finance feel joined up and part of the business, rather than a separate, distant function.
Clear collaboration
Our team collaborates with your business at every level along the way. We want you to feel like we are part of your team, and for the feeling to be mutual. We get the best results when that happens.
Better finance results
A strong finance function should help you make better decisions. We improve the systems, processes and reporting behind your numbers, so you get better visibility over cash, costs and performance. As you grow, we adapt the support so finance keeps pace.
