CRM & Workflow Integration
for Accounting Firms
Re-typing the same client details into Xero, your CRM, and an engagement letter means paying three times for one piece of information. We connect your stack so data flows once, traceably—and firms get 8–15 admin hours back per week.
The Admin Problem How Much Admin is
How Much Admin is
Your Accounting Team Wasting?
The average SA accounting firm spends 12+ hours per week on admin that should be automated. At a modest charge-out rate, that's over R500,000 a year in copy-paste work—and every re-keyed entry is a fresh chance for the error that costs a client.

Achieved by our integrated clients
The same new client, onboarded two ways
One new client, through both versions of your firm.
Manual intake — 2 to 3 weeks
- Enquiry sits in a partner's inbox until Friday
- Details typed into a spreadsheet, re-typed into the CRM
- Engagement letter printed, scanned, emailed—wrong version signed first
- FICA documents trickle in over WhatsApp, half unusable
- First impression of your firm: chaos
Integrated intake — 2 to 3 days
- Enquiry fires straight into HubSpot; booking goes out in minutes
- Engagement letter and FICA pack via DocuSign the same day
- Documents uploaded to the portal—encrypted, logged
- Everything syncs to Xero automatically
- First impression of your firm: precision
Same client. Same engagement letter. A fortnight of chasing—or none.
