Stop chasing clients. Records, signatures, and information requests handled by AI on your behalf.
See every job. One board for tax, accounts, audit, payroll and advisory — across your whole team.
Connects to everything. Iris, CCH, Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, Dext — your stack stays, the chaos doesn't.
Built for firms that have outgrown their stack
Whether you're a 6-partner mid-tier or a cloud-native bookkeeping firm, Circlemount Accounting was designed for the way modern practices actually work.
Mid-size practices
5–50 staff juggling Iris or CCH with spreadsheets, email and whiteboards. You've outgrown the old way of working.
Iris / CCH / Sage shopsCloud-first firms
Xero or QuickBooks-native. Advisory-led. You want AI to scale fee income per partner without hiring.
Xero / QuickBooks ledAudit & compliance teams
Sample testing, evidence requests, ISQM 1, and review queues. You need an audit-grade trail with zero friction.
Audit-regulated workOutsourced bookkeeping
High-volume, deadline-driven. Hundreds of clients across multiple ledgers. You live or die by your jobs board.
Volume bookkeepingEverything connects to your firm
12 intelligent modules, one unified system. No spreadsheets. No disconnected tools. Just clarity.

Every module feeds real-time data back to your central hub
Growing practices feel this every day
If your firm has 5+ people and an inbox that never stops, you'll recognise every one of these.
lost per fee earner each week chasing records & signatures
Chasing clients eats your week
Quarter-end records, signatures, missing receipts. Junior staff spend half their time emailing clients who never reply on time.
disconnected systems used by the average UK practice
Jobs slip between systems
Tax in Iris, audit in CCH, bookkeeping in Xero, payroll in BrightPay, deadlines in Excel. Nothing reconciles. Things fall through the cracks.
real-time visibility on team capacity in most firms
Partners can't see capacity
Who's overloaded? Who's free? Which jobs are at risk of slipping past deadline? You only find out when something blows up.
more touchpoints per client under MTD ITSA
MTD ITSA is coming, fast
Quarterly submissions for hundreds of self-assessment clients from April 2026. Your current workflow simply will not scale.
of audit evidence at risk when stored in personal mail
Audit trails live in inboxes
When a partner asks 'who approved this?', you're scrolling Outlook and Teams threads from six months ago. ISQM 1 demands better.
annual write-offs an average mid-tier firm absorbs invisibly
WIP and recoverability are guesswork
Time recorded on one system, billed on another, written off in a spreadsheet. Real margin per job? You're estimating.
Stop juggling 8 tools that don't talk to each other
Most accountancy firms cobble together compliance software, spreadsheets, email and chat. Circlemount Accounting consolidates everything into one operating layer — and still talks to your existing ledgers.

How it changes your firm
Real operational differences. Not vague promises.
Quarterly chase emails sent manually. No tracking. Half the clients ignore them. Junior staff burn hours.
AI drafts and sends personalised chases on a schedule. Tracks responses. Escalates politely. Logs everything to the client.
Tax in Iris, audit in CCH, payroll in BrightPay, deadlines in Excel. Partners reconcile by hand.
One unified jobs board across tax, accounts, audit, payroll and advisory — colour-coded by urgency, owner and stage.
Sample testing in Excel. Evidence emailed back and forth. ISQM 1 documentation pieced together at year-end.
Audit-grade workflow: sample selections, evidence requests, review queues, and a complete trail — purpose-built for ISQM 1.
Personal Outlook inboxes. Important threads buried. When someone leaves, the relationship history goes with them.
Every email, message, call note and document linked to the client record. Accessible to the whole team.
Time recorded in one tool, billed in another. Recoverability calculated quarterly in a spreadsheet.
Live WIP, recoverability and capacity dashboards by partner, team and job — surfaced in real time.
See how it works in your firm
Five real workflows that happen every week in UK accountancy practices. Here's how Circlemount handles them.
A new SME wants to engage your firm
Without the system: Engagement letter in Word, ID checks via email, ledger setup in Xero, deadline tracking in Excel. Onboarding takes a fortnight.
With Circlemount: Circlemount triggers the full onboarding flow: AML checks, branded engagement letter for e-signature, Xero ledger created, jobs scheduled, welcome portal ready.
Year-end approaches and 47 jobs are live
Without the system: Different software for tax, audit, accounts, payroll. Partners reconcile job status in spreadsheets every Monday morning.
With Circlemount: Every job — across every service line — visible in one board. Filter by partner, deadline, stage, or risk. Drag to reassign. Click for full context.
ISQM 1 review on a complex audit
Without the system: Sample selections in Excel, evidence in Outlook attachments, review notes in Word. Pulling the file together takes days.
With Circlemount: Sample testing, evidence requests, review queues and partner sign-off — all in one workflow with a complete audit trail. Ready for cold file review at any moment.
A client wants to upload last quarter's records
Without the system: They email a zip file. It bounces. They send via WeTransfer. The link expires before anyone downloads. Records go missing.
With Circlemount: Client logs into your branded portal, uploads records to a structured folder, sees real-time status of their accounts, signs documents, and messages the team — all in one place.
Monday morning. 89 unread emails.
Without the system: Partners spend the first hour of their week triaging client emails, chasing junior staff, and trying to remember where they left things on Friday.
With Circlemount: AI has already summarised overnight client emails, drafted responses, flagged urgent items, and surfaced jobs at risk of slipping deadline. You triage in 5 minutes, not 60.
Everything your firm needs. Nothing it doesn't.

AI that actually helps accountants
No jargon. No hype. Here's what the AI brain inside Circlemount Accounting actually does for your team — in plain English.
Chase missing records
AI drafts polite, personalised chase emails based on outstanding records, escalates politely if ignored, and stops the moment records arrive.
Draft client emails
AI generates professional client communications based on the client's history, current jobs, and outstanding actions — in your firm's tone of voice.
Summarise meetings
Upload a Teams or Zoom recording. AI extracts decisions, follow-up actions, deadlines, and links them to the right client and job.
Surface jobs at risk
AI identifies which jobs are at risk of missing deadline based on stage, capacity, and historical patterns — flagging them to the right partner early.
Tax research assistant
Ask plain-English tax and accounting questions. AI cites HMRC guidance, ICAEW technical releases and recent case law — never invents answers.
Suggest next actions
Based on job stage, client behaviour, and deadlines, AI suggests what your team should do next — keeping work moving without micromanagement.
