Open Accountancy Practice is accountancy software built with firms.
You bring
We bring
Open Accountancy is our public synthetic firm and agent evaluation environment. Open Accountancy Practice is the separate accountancy software; partner implementations are private projects built around the practice.
Who we partner with
A real accounting firm with experienced people, clients and repeatable workflows.
Leadership that wants to build a better firm rather than simply preserve the status quo.
A team that believes AI will change the profession and wants to participate in shaping how.
A firm that cares deeply about quality, responsiveness, trust and long-term relationships.
Why firms partner with us

Serve more clients without simply adding more people.
Time
Move repetitive preparation, gathering and administration away from your highest-value people.
Experience

Workflow
We start with how your work gets done and design the pilot around it.
Evidence
Open Accountancy provides the separate synthetic environment for evaluating accounting agents.
Influence
Partner firms have a direct voice in what we build next.
Your accounting expertise shapes what we build.
Open Accountancy Practice Design Partners
We are selecting a small cohort of accounting firms in the UK and US to work directly with the Open Accountancy Practice team.
We start with the work. Where is your team spending time? Where are engagements getting stuck? Which processes are repetitive but difficult to automate with traditional software? Which work could AI perform if you could trust the output?
Our team works with yours to answer those questions and build against them.
Relaxed first conversation. No commitment. Tell us about your firm and where the work gets stuck.
The process
We learn how the work is performed today and where your team spends its time.
Together we identify one or two workflows where AI could create meaningful capacity.
We give the agent the context, tools and controls needed to perform more of the work.
We use relevant Open Accountancy evaluations and workflow acceptance checks before considering a human-reviewed Open Accountancy Practice pilot.
The workflow is introduced with appropriate human review and approval controls.
We measure quality, turnaround, human effort and capacity.
When the evidence supports it, we move into the next workflow.
Let's talk
If you are curious about what one well-designed workflow could change, we would like to hear from you.
