Behind the Automation

Financial automation sounds technical, but honestly? It's about taking the repetitive mess off your desk so you can focus on decisions that actually matter.

We've spent years working with businesses in the UK who were drowning in invoices, late payments, and endless spreadsheets. What we built isn't magic — it's practical tools that connect your existing systems and make them talk to each other properly.

The Four Stages

Most companies we work with go through similar phases. Each one builds on the last, and you can pause anywhere that makes sense for your operations.

1

Assessment Week

We spend time looking at your current setup. Where are invoices getting stuck? Which reports take forever? What's causing late payments? No fancy audit — just practical questions about what's slowing you down.

2

System Mapping

Here's where we connect your accounting software to payment systems and internal tools. Think of it as creating bridges between islands that were never meant to talk. Takes about two weeks, depending on how many systems you're running.

3

Workflow Building

Now we set up the automations. Invoice arrives, system reads it, categorizes it, flags anything unusual, and routes it to the right person. Payment due dates trigger reminders. Reports generate themselves on Friday afternoons.

Live Monitoring

Once it's running, we watch for hiccups. Sometimes an unusual transaction confuses the system. Or a new vendor format needs adjustment. We handle those tweaks in the first month, then hand you the controls.

How Your Systems Connect

Most businesses already have the tools — they're just not working together. Our job is making your accounting platform, bank feeds, and internal databases share information without you copying and pasting.

  • Direct API connections to major UK banking systems and accounting platforms
  • Real-time data sync that catches transactions as they happen
  • Custom connectors for industry-specific software you can't replace
  • Automated reconciliation that flags mismatches before they compound
  • Secure data handling that meets UK financial regulations

The systems we build typically integrate with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, and most major UK business banking platforms. If you're using something unusual, we'll assess compatibility during the first call.

Who Sets This Up

You'll work with two people throughout the process. One handles the technical connections, the other keeps everything moving on schedule and makes sure it fits your workflow.
