Workflow automation for firms that run on documents and deadlines.

Accountants, lawyers, consultants, brokers, agencies: businesses whose product is judgement, delivered through documents, on deadlines. The judgement can't be automated. Remarkably much of the rest can.

Where professional firms lose senior hours

  • Client onboarding — engagement letters, ID checks and file setup done by hand, differently each time
  • Document chasing — 'just waiting on the client' as a permanent workflow state
  • Deadline tracking — lodgement and matter dates living in personal calendars and anxiety
  • Status updates — clients emailing 'any news?' because nothing tells them proactively
  • Time capture and WIP — reconstructed at month-end from memory

Systematise the process, protect the judgement

The pattern for professional firms is to automate the process shell around each engagement: intake forms that populate the file, checklists instantiated per matter type, polite automated chasing for outstanding documents, deadline workflows with escalation, and client status updates drafted for review.

AI helps in specific, controlled places — summarising correspondence into file notes, drafting routine client communications for approval — always with the professional signing off. Confidentiality is treated as a design constraint from the start: your accounts, scoped access, human review on anything client-facing.

Compliance-friendly by design

Because steps are systematised, they're also documented — who was chased when, what was sent, what was approved and by whom. For regulated professions, a good workflow doubles as an audit trail rather than another compliance burden.
