Accounting firms are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from AI document processing are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.
Accounting firms · Applied AI
Accounting firms-grade AI document processing, shipped by people who've done it before.
What AI document processing actually does
Scanned invoices, signed contracts, handwritten timesheets, PDF specs – extracted into clean data and routed where they belong. No more typing what someone already wrote.
- 01 Vision models read scans, photos, and handwriting
- 02 Pushes structured data into Xero, your CRM, or sheets
- 03 Confidence flags route low-certainty docs to a human
- 04 Handles te reo, bilingual forms, and old NZ templates
Built on: Claude Vision AWS Textract Mistral OCR Vercel
From the trenches
The shape of every accounting firm brief we've seen.
- Accounting firms carry seasonal peaks where document chasing and data entry crowd out the advisory work that actually pays.
- Client document requests, reconciliations, and deadline reminders are the repetitive load behind every busy season.
How we build AI document processing for accounting firms.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a accounting firm business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI for paperwork.

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI document processing with a accounting firm?
Most accounting firms have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI document processing worth it for a smaller accounting firm?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Anyone else in this space using AI document processing?
Plenty. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI document processing is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
One short call.
