Map
We mapped the operating challenge
Client requests, deadline reminders, missing information, and advisory prep were spread across email, portals, and practice systems.
Accounting Firms case study
How an accounting firm moved deadline work earlier and reduced chasing.
Client requests, deadline reminders, and missing-information tasks were spread across email, portals, and practice systems. This case study shows how reminders, routing, and deadline visibility moved work earlier.
The starting point
The firm handled BAS and tax deadlines, client document requests, missing information, recurring advisory tasks, and internal knowledge across email, portals, and practice systems.
Client work stalled when documents arrived late or incomplete. Staff spent too much time chasing the same items while leaders needed governance around client data and AI use.
What we did across the engagement
After the starting point was clear, we moved through four practical steps: mapping the challenge, defining where AI could safely help, putting the workflow in place, and setting the handoffs and review points that kept judgement with the team.
Define
We defined AI's role and boundaries
Deadline prompts, missing-information routing, repeated client questions, and internal process queries could be supported, while advice and client data needed permissioned review.
Set up
We put the workflow in place
We built client request reminders, missing-information tasks, deadline-risk queues, and internal process support for recurring questions.
Control
We kept control with the team
Before the workflow was treated as live, we set the ownership, handoff rules, and review points for sensitive requests. Routine work could move faster, while judgement stayed with the team.
The results
The change showed up in the day-to-day work: fewer things slipping through, cleaner handoffs, and clearer ownership for the team.
- Earlier client information collection
- Fewer repeated deadline chases
- More time for review, advice, and client service
