An accounting practice office

For UK & Irish accounting practices running Xero and BrightPay

Haibot.
Recover your team’s capacity.
Without another hire.

Digital Workers take on three recurring workflows — bank reconciliation in Xero, payroll processing in BrightPay and chasing missing documents in Dext or Hubdoc — inside the systems you already use. Your team keeps the judgement calls.

Your estimate = hours your team spends on each workflow × the share that is rules-based. If it comes back under 20 hours/month, we tell you — and don’t propose a deployment. How the estimate works

No software switching. No rebuild. Your team in control.

01

How the estimate is calculated

You tell us weekly hours on bookkeeping, payroll, document chasing and admin. We apply the rules-based share of each workflow to give an indicative monthly figure.

02

What happens next

If it is material (50+ hours/month), we validate the inputs with you, pick one workflow and agree how recovery will be measured.

03

If it is smaller than expected

Under 50 hours/month, or without Xero and BrightPay, we say it isn’t a fit yet and send a practice efficiency checklist instead. No deployment is pushed.

The capacity problem

Your practice doesn’t need another dashboard.
It needs the work to get done.

When systems don’t connect cleanly, your people become the integration layer: moving information, checking records, chasing clients and following up on work that should already be progressing.

01 / Processing

Repetitive work piles up

Bookkeeping, reconciliation and payroll compete with review, client service and advisory work.

02 / Follow-through

Someone has to keep chasing

Missing documents, unresolved exceptions and stalled handoffs consume your team’s time.

03 / Capacity

Growth means more pressure

Workload rises. Before adding people, understand what your existing workflows could release.

More time for the work only your people can do.

Three core workflows

We start with the work
every practice repeats.

No software switching, no rebuild. Once these are stable, Haibot can extend to VAT readiness, accounts payable and receivable, and wider practice operations — that is the expansion, not the starting point.

Match bank lines to transactions using agreed rules, post what is certain and hand your team an evidence-backed list of exceptions.

Demonstration scenarios · not customer results

Capacity recovered, put to better use.

These are demonstration scenarios built from typical practice workloads.

Baseline

Time on the workflow is measured before deployment.

Measured

Work completed, exceptions and human touches are logged by Haibot.

Verified

Hours recovered are compared to the baseline and agreed with the practice.

Reconciliation example

~8-staff general practice, Ireland — SME client mix

Bank reconciliation (Xero)

Before
15–20 hours/month manually reconciling bank feeds across 147 client Xero accounts — repetitive matching and exception chasing.
After (modelled)
~24 hours/month recovered within the first full month of live operation.
Result
Capacity reassigned to onboarding 2 new clients, clearing a VAT backlog and cutting month-end close by 2 days.

Payroll example

3-partner practice, Ireland — payroll bureau for ~40 companies

Payroll processing (BrightPay)

Before
10 hours/week across two staff during payroll weeks, with error-checking as the main bottleneck.
After (modelled)
~30 hours/month recovered.
Result
Capacity used to take on additional payroll clients without additional headcount.

VAT example

12-staff practice, UK — VAT-heavy retail and hospitality base

VAT preparation

Before
700+ hours/year on VAT preparation, concentrated around quarterly deadlines and creating recurring overtime pressure.
After (modelled)
~45 hours/month recovered on average, rising during VAT quarters.
Result
Quarter-end overtime reduced; time redirected to advisory work and client onboarding.

Document processing example

15-staff practice, Ireland — broad SME client base

Document processing (Dext → Xero)

Before
25 hours/month coding and publishing receipts and invoices from Dext into Xero — high-volume, low-complexity work.
After (modelled)
~20 hours/month recovered, with exceptions routed to the team.
Result
Bookkeeping staff moved from data entry to client check-ins and management accounts prep.

The economics, transparently

Estimated capacity is not recovered capacity.

Assumptions behind the estimate

  • · Hours come from your own answers about time spent per workflow each week.
  • · Each workflow has a typical rules-based share (e.g. 50–70%); exceptions stay with your team.
  • · Realisation varies with data quality, client behaviour and review time.
  • · Recovered hours are time released, not cash. Savings or new revenue only follow if you redeploy that time — fewer overtime hours, a delayed hire or more clients.
Calculate My Recoverable CapacityThe assessment uses your workflows, not an average.

Measure first. Deploy second.

A practical route from workload pressure to recovered capacity.

Start with one real workflow. Set clear boundaries, verify the outcome and expand when the evidence supports it.

  1. 01

    We measure your recoverable capacity

    A 2-minute assessment models where time is being lost across bookkeeping, payroll, document handling and client chasing.

  2. 02

    We only proceed if the value is there

    The 90-Day Capacity Recovery Guarantee applies where we can identify 50+ hours/month of recoverable capacity.

  3. 03

    We deploy one real workflow

    Connected into your existing stack — Xero / QuickBooks + Dext / Hubdoc + BrightPay + PMS. No migration. No rebuild. No sandbox.

  4. 04

    You see the work being done

    Every action an Digital Worker performs is visible, logged and reviewable inside your own workflows.

  5. 05

    We measure the hours recovered

    Recovered capacity is reported back to you in hours — not in features shipped.

  6. 06

    You expand across the practice

    Once the first workflow stabilises, we layer additional Digital Workers across the firm.

Automation without visibility creates risk.

Every action performed by a Haibot worker is logged, traceable, auditable and reviewable. Your team remains responsible for oversight while Haibot handles execution.

  • Approval workflows

    Configurable checkpoints before anything is published.

  • Exception management

    Items requiring judgement are routed to your team.

  • Activity monitoring

    Live visibility into what each worker is doing.

  • Performance reporting

    Volumes, accuracy and cycle time, by worker.

  • Complete audit history

    Every action recorded with timestamps, inputs and outputs.

  • Role-based access

    Permissions aligned to your practice structure.

The 90-Day Capacity Recovery Guarantee

We'll show you how much capacity your practice could recover.

The guarantee only proceeds where we can identify 50+ hours/month of recoverable capacity.

Don't take our word for the value. We measure the opportunity in your practice first — and if the number isn't there, we tell you.

The 30-Day Confidence Trial

Don't buy software based on a demo.

Put Haibot to work on a real process in your practice. For 30 days you evaluate actual work being completed inside your own Xero and BrightPay workflows — not another software demonstration.

Because confidence comes from seeing the work get done.

  1. 1. Calculate your recoverable capacity
  2. 2. Validate the estimate together
  3. 3. Then start the 30-day trial on one workflow
The trial is offered once the assessment shows a worthwhile opportunity.

Questions, answered

Start with the work.
Not the hype.

Understand what Haibot does, where it fits and how an initial deployment is assessed.

No. Haibot is designed to work across supported systems already used by your practice. The exact workflow and integration route are confirmed before deployment.
