Step 01

The Service Level Agreement.

Every fwd:accountant engagement runs on a written SLA. It's what makes the relationship a service contract instead of a promise. Every metric is measured monthly. Miss one, you get a service credit. Miss three months in a row, you can leave without penalty.

What we promise, in writing
  • 99% categorisation accuracy against your chart of accounts
  • 100% active recovery of missing supporting documents, chased until matched
  • 1 business day turnaround on every inbound document
  • Books updated daily, never a month-end scramble
  • 99.5% platform uptime, EU-hosted, AVG and GDPR compliant
Remedy

Service credit on miss.

If we miss any monthly SLA target, you receive a service credit applied to the next invoice. No paperwork on your side.

Sign-off

Human sign-off, always.

A qualified accountant reviews and signs off on every entry before it lands in your administration. Accountability stays with humans, not AI agents.

Data

You own everything.

100% of client data is yours. Full export anytime in standard formats. 30-day extraction window on termination, then a deletion certificate.

Inside scope

What we do.

  • Invoice processing and document intake from any channel
  • Transaction coding against your chart of accounts
  • Client chasing for missing supporting documents
  • Bank reconciliation, daily
  • Journal entry preparation, ready for your sign-off
Outside scope

What we don't do.

  • Accounting judgment, tax, advisory, or year-end
  • Direct end-client communication
  • Payroll or regulatory representation
  • Custom development outside our roadmap
Step 02

Implementation, day by day.

You point us at your software and your clients. We provision your firm's subdomain, set up white-label branding, integrate with your accounting stack, and map your chart of accounts. At the Scale tier, you're live within one week.

Time to live
≤ 1 wk

At the Scale tier. Smaller tiers run 2 to 4 weeks. No DNS work, no IT involvement on your side.

The five things we set up
01
Day 1

Subdomain provisioned.

Your firm gets its own portal at yourfirm.fwd.accountant. Clients sign in there, see your logo, and never see fwd:accountant.

02
Day 1 to 2White-label

Branding set up.

Your logo, your colors, your firm's name across the portal, the dashboard, and every notification. We match your existing brand assets.

03
Day 2 to 3White-label

Email configured.

All chases, reminders, and statements are sent as your firm, from yourfirm@fwd.accountant. Clients reply to that address and our system routes them. They never see us.

04
Day 3 to 5

Accounting software integrated.

We connect to Twinfield, Exact, Xero, QuickBooks, and others. Our AI agents write entries directly into your existing software. No migration, no parallel system.

05
Day 5 to 7

Chart of accounts mapped.

We map our categorisation model to your firm's chart of accounts and your client-specific conventions. Categorisation accuracy starts at 99% from day one because the mapping is yours.

Step 03

The daily cycle.

Once you're live, the system runs continuously. AI agents process the volume. A human manager owns the exceptions. Your team reviews, signs off, and meets the clients. There is no month-end scramble because there is no month-end backlog.

Every day, in order
  • Documents arrive from email, upload, or bank feed
  • AI extracts and codes against your chart of accounts
  • Missing documents chased from the client automatically
  • Bank transactions matched to invoices
  • Entries published to your accounting software
  • Human review on exceptions and queued items
AI agents
62%

Document intake, OCR, categorisation, matching, journal entry drafts, and automated chase sequences. Continuous, with no working hours.

Our human manager
3%

Reviews the exception queue, handles edge cases, signs off on AI work before it ships, feeds corrections back into the training data.

Your firm
35%

Period analysis, tax filings, advisory, year-end statements, and the client relationship. The high-value work that justifies your fees.

Client experience

Your clients only see your firm.

Every touchpoint is white-labeled. Clients sign in at your subdomain, receive emails from your firm's address, and talk to a contact person who works for fwd:accountant but appears as part of your team. We are invisible to the end client by design.
