For UK accountancy practices
Practice management that doesn't tax hiring.
Every client and every HMRC deadline in one console: VAT, Payroll, CIS, P11D, Confirmation Statements, MTD ITSA. Athena proposes the chasing, you sign it off, and the price stays flat however many people you hire.

The per-seat tax
Your software bill should not grow because you did
Karbon, BrightManager, Pixie and the rest charge £30-60 per user per month. Hire a fourth person and the practice-management bill jumps before their chair arrives. That is a tax on hiring, collected by your software vendor. We think it is absurd.
£30-60 per user / mo
Every hire raises the bill, so the cost scales with your headcount rather than the value you get. Growth is the thing being billed.
£39 per month, whole practice
The Practice plan covers everyone you employ. So does every other plan. Hiring is your decision, not a licensing event.

The deadline engine
Every deadline, tracked per client, chased for you
The statutory calendar for the whole client book, kept in one place and kept accurate. Nobody in the practice should be running compliance from a spreadsheet and a memory.
VAT, Payroll, CIS, P11D, Confirmation Statements and MTD ITSA, held per client. One screen shows what is due across the practice, and how close.
Live Companies House integration keeps year ends, confirmation dates and filing history correct at the source. No retyping, no stale records.
Automated deadline emails go to clients on the schedule you set. They hear about the VAT deadline from you, not from HMRC's penalty notice.
Athena and the approvals queue
Athena proposes. You sign. Then it sends
The AI in AccountFlow does not free-run your client relationships. Athena drafts actions into an approvals queue, a human signs each one, and nothing leaves the practice unsigned.
Athena watches the deadline book and drafts what should happen next: a reminder here, a follow-up there, a job that needs opening.
Every proposal waits in the queue until someone in the practice approves it. Unsigned means unsent. There are no exceptions.
The morning brief opens the day: what is due, what Athena is proposing, what needs a signature. Coffee-length reading, then on with the work.
What you get
The whole practice, on one system
The deadline hub
VAT, Payroll, CIS, P11D, Confirmation Statements and MTD ITSA, tracked per client on one screen. What is due, for whom, and when.
Companies House, live
The statutory record syncs straight from Companies House, so year ends, confirmation dates and filing history stay right without anyone retyping them.
Time, billing and a 7-year audit trail
Track time, raise invoices and keep every action on a 7-year audit trail. The practice record holds up when someone asks what happened and when.
Flat, practice-level pricing
One price covers the whole practice. Your software bill stops being a line in every hiring conversation.
The approvals queue
Athena proposes deadline reminders and follow-ups into a queue. A human signs each one before it sends. Unsigned means unsent.
The Timer desktop app
A companion app that sits on the desktop and captures time as you work, so the hours make it onto the invoice instead of into the void.
Pricing
One price for the whole practice
Not per user, not per seat. Flat, practice-level: Free · £19.50 · £39 · £60 · £90 /mo. Hire whoever the practice needs and the bill does not move.
Every plan is flat and practice-level. No card to start
Part of the suite
One standard of evidence, five tools
AccountFlow runs the practice. Engage wins the client in the first place, Footnote answers their tax questions with citations, Envelope decodes the brown envelope when it lands, and Narrative tells their story in the management accounts. Same evidence standard everywhere.
Questions
Asked before you ask
What do I get on the free plan?
A working practice, not a demo. Run real clients through the deadline console and see whether it earns a place before you pay anything. When the practice needs more, paid plans start at £19.50 a month, still flat.
We already use Karbon, BrightManager or Pixie. How hard is switching?
Bring your client list across and the Companies House sync fills in the statutory record from there. Deadlines populate from the client data itself, so the console is useful on day one rather than at the end of an onboarding project.
What does flat, practice-level pricing actually mean?
One subscription covers everyone in the practice. Per-user tools charge £30-60 per user per month, which quietly turns every hire into a software decision. AccountFlow charges the practice, not the headcount.
Is it safe to let an AI near client communications?
Athena never sends anything on her own. She proposes actions into an approvals queue and a human signs each one before it goes. Scheduled deadline reminders run on rules you set, and everything lands on the 7-year audit trail.
How does the trial work?
There is a free tier and a free trial of the paid features, and neither asks for a card. If AccountFlow does not pay for itself in chased deadlines and recovered billable time, stay on free or walk away.
Twenty seconds of it
Watch a practice run itself
Deadlines land, Companies House syncs, Athena proposes the chase and waits for your signature. One flat price, whatever the headcount.
Stop paying per head
Free tier, free trial, no card. Put your client book in, watch the deadline console fill itself, and keep your hiring plans out of your software bill.
