Finance support that works as part of your team

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
Our onboarding process

How we get started with you

A clear, structured start so finance is set up properly from day one.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

What working with us feels like

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
How we work

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.

Common questions

How we work, answered

How much does it cost?Finance Foundations starts from £450 + VAT a month, Finance Operations from £1,500 + VAT a month and Fractional CFO support from £3,000 + VAT a month. Every price is a starting point and becomes a fixed monthly fee once scoped, with no long contracts. The full ladder is published at aiaccounts.co.uk/pricing.
How does onboarding work?
We start with an intro call to understand your business, then run a scope review, send a clear proposal, complete setup and handover, establish a monthly rhythm, and review and improve the support over time.
How do I know which level of support is right?
During the scope review we look at your systems, reporting needs, team and transaction volumes, then recommend Finance Foundations, Finance Operations or Fractional CFO based on what fits best now.
Do you work with our existing accountant?
Yes. Where needed we liaise with previous accountants or internal team members during setup, so the handover is as smooth as possible.
Can we change levels as we grow?
Yes. We review the support regularly and can move between Finance Foundations, Finance Operations and Fractional CFO as your needs change.
