For accountancy & bookkeeping firms

Spend less time on data, more on advice.

The billable work is advisory, but the week goes on processing and chasing. We put AI on the routine so your people do the work clients actually pay for.

Accountancy and bookkeeping firms bill for advice, but most of the week disappears into data entry, chasing clients for missing receipts, and drafting the same update emails over and over. Your qualified people are spending hours on work that does not require their expertise.

Fettle puts AI agents on the routine tasks so your team can spend their time on the work clients actually value, reviewing financials, spotting problems early, and giving the kind of advice that keeps clients coming back.

Agents built around your desk.

Reads invoices and statements and prepares them for your ledger.

Advisory Draft Agent

Client Inbox Agent

Drafts answers to common client questions from your knowledge base.

In practice

What changes, with examples.

Chasing clients for missing records
Today

A staff member manually checks who has not sent their bank statements or invoices, then writes individual reminder emails, often several times before the deadline.

With Fettle

The Records Chaser Agent monitors who is outstanding, sends polite, scheduled reminders on your behalf, and escalates automatically if nothing arrives, without anyone on your team lifting a finger.

Processing invoices and statements
Today

Someone works through a bundle of supplier invoices and bank statements by hand, keying figures into the ledger and cross-referencing line by line.

With Fettle

The Document Processing Agent reads the invoices and statements, extracts the relevant figures, and prepares a structured file ready for your bookkeeper to review and post.

Writing month-end client summaries
Today

After running the reports in Xero or QuickBooks, a team member drafts a plain-English summary for each client, repeating the same structure with slightly different numbers each time.

With Fettle

The Advisory Draft Agent pulls the key figures and writes a clear, readable summary for your review, so you approve and send rather than write from scratch.

Accountancy & bookkeeping · a week with Fettle

A week at a bookkeeping firm, with Fettle in place

On Monday morning, the Records Chaser Agent has already sent reminders to the clients who have not submitted their quarterly records, with no one in the office yet. By Wednesday, the Document Processing Agent has worked through the incoming invoices and prepared them for review, cutting a task that used to take most of a morning. The Advisory Draft Agent has produced first drafts of three client month-end summaries, ready for the senior bookkeeper to read through and sign off. The team's afternoon is spent on a tax planning call and a new client onboarding, which is where they actually wanted to be.

Questions accountancy & bookkeeping ask

Our clients send documents in all sorts of formats. Can AI really handle that reliably?

+
Modern document processing AI handles PDFs, scanned images, spreadsheets and email attachments well, and anything uncertain is flagged for a human to check rather than guessed at. Your bookkeeper stays in control of what goes into the ledger.

We use Xero and have our own way of working. Will this fit around our practice?

+
The Assessment is the place to work that out properly. We look at your actual workflows and tools before recommending anything, and we only suggest AI that fits around the way your practice already runs.

What stops the AI giving a client the wrong answer if they ask something complex?

+
The Client Inbox Agent drafts responses based on your own knowledge base and flags anything outside its confidence level for a team member to handle. It handles the routine questions so your staff deal with the ones that genuinely need their judgement.
