Morning, Business Brain. What do I actually need to get done today?

Good morning đź‘‹ Here's today's critical list across the practice:

  • • 3 VAT returns due in the next 2 days
  • • 2 payrolls to run by 4pm
  • • 1 year-end blocked, waiting on bank statements from Greenfield Designs Ltd

I'd start with the VAT returns as they carry penalties if we miss them. Want me to line up the work and draft any client chases?

A

Yes, prioritise anything due in the next 48 hours and draft the chaser emails. Keep them short and in plain English.

Done âś…

  • • Tasks created: 6 high-priority jobs assigned to the right team members
  • • Client chasers drafted: 4 emails ready to send (you just need to approve)

Here's one for Greenfield Designs Ltd:

"Hi Alex, We're nearly ready to finalise your year-end accounts, but we're still missing your bank statements for 1 Apr to 31 Mar. Could you upload these to the portal today so we can file on time? Thanks, Accountants Firm"

The Story

Accountants didn't choose this profession to chase documents, rewrite emails, or live inside spreadsheets.

Every firm we spoke to told the same story:

“The work we love, like advising, analysing, and helping clients grow, gets buried under tasks that drain time, energy, and joy.”

And we kept asking ourselves:

If accountants are the backbone of small businesses, why does their own workflow feel so heavy?

At automatebooks, our belief has always been simple:

Helping others leads to more time, more clarity, and more impact. It is a core value that runs through all our work.

So we built something new. Something purposefully designed for accountants, not technologists.

Not another system to learn

Not another subscription to justify

Just a smarter, calmer way to run your practice

warningThe Problem

The old way simply doesn't work anymore

layers

Too many systems, too much noise

Jumping between Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Dext and endless folders creates unnecessary risk and eats hours.

Admin that spirals

Chasing clients, copying data, and checking deadlines is work that grows faster than your team can keep up.

Tools that feel overwhelming

Complex interfaces and steep learning curves slow everyone down, not lift them up.

Your practice deserves better.

Your people deserve better.

Your clients deserve better.

A workspace that finally works for accountants

Everything about a client, all in one place

Documents, deadlines, transactions, notes: no chaos, no hunting, no guessing.

smart_toy

AI that prepares the groundwork for you

It is not automation that replaces you. It is intelligent support that drafts, checks completeness, highlights what's missing, and keeps you ahead of deadlines.

You stay in control

You make the decisions. The platform simply clears the path.

This is the workflow layer accounting has been missing.

Ask questions in plain English

“Show me missing items.”“Draft this month's VAT summary.”“What deadlines are upcoming?”If you can ask it, the system can understand it.
