Can AI collect AML documents for UK accountancy clients?

Yes. For UK accountancy practices, managed AI chases AML documents — ID, proof of address, and source-of-funds — on schedules you define, logging submissions for your MLRO or onboarding team to review. The agent does not certify risk ratings or replace MLRO judgement on client due diligence.

Will AI give tax advice to my clients?

No. For UK accountancy practices, managed AI handles logistics and templated reminders only. Tax advice, filings, and professional judgements remain with qualified staff — including Making Tax Digital nudges that do not constitute personalised tax guidance to clients.

How much does practice automation cost?

For UK accountancy practices, TAB managed agents typically start from £299 per month including setup and UK data hosting. Pricing reflects client count bands, integrations, and peak-season call volume — firms often model value from faster files and recovered manager hours.

Does this replace our practice management software?

No. For UK accountancy practices, your practice management software or ledger stays central. Managed AI works the chasing and capture layer around Xero, QuickBooks, CCH, IRIS, and similar tools without replacing PMS records or partner sign-off on client work.

Is client data stored in the UK?

Yes. For UK accountancy practices, TAB uses UK-sovereign infrastructure for standard deployments — supporting firms that need UK residency for client communication and AML chase data rather than routing operational files through US consumer AI clouds.

How quickly can we go live before January peak?

For UK accountancy practices, typical onboarding is 5 to 10 working days once chase templates and partner approval rules are agreed — many firms pilot on one service line before firm-wide rollout ahead of January self-assessment peak.

Can AI chase overdue client fees?

For UK accountancy practices, managed AI sends professional payment reminders aligned to your credit-control policy and escalates fee disputes to managers. Routine chasing runs automatically while partners handle contested balances and relationship-sensitive conversations.

/01 — AI for UK accountancy and payroll practices

Protect peak-season Capacity without replacing your PMS

The Agent Bureau provides managed AI agents for UK accountancy and payroll practices. TAB's practice agents handle client enquiry capture, AML and KYC document chasing, deadline reminders, and Making Tax Digital readiness comms on UK-sovereign infrastructure with governance logging. Practices typically reclaim 12–20 hours per week per manager during peak season (based on TAB client patterns).

Typical manager time returned in peak season: 12–20 hrs/week
Document chase with MLRO-ready logging: AML
Managed agent incl. setup and UK hosting: From £299/mo

Logistics when managers are In Review

January self-assessment, VAT quarters, and year-end close compress the same qualified hours into fewer weeks.

/04The comparison

Inbox chasing versus Managed Practice AI

The same client deadline. The difference is whether reminders and AML packs are chased on schedule — or partners rebuild lists manually. Managed AI typically starts from £299 per month including setup and UK hosting.
