AI demand forecasting for accountants.
For accounting firms who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
Client documents collected, coded and matched to GST periods, monthly, two-monthly or six-monthly, ready for review.
What AI demand forecasting actually does
Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

In production.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
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.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Questions accounting firms ask
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is AI demand forecasting 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.
What tools do you build AI demand forecasting on?
For AI demand forecasting we usually reach for Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your accounting firm team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
