Accountants and bookkeepers increasingly charge a fixed monthly fee, but many still send manual invoices and chase clients at year end. Their clients are small businesses who need better ways to get paid too. A payments platform for firms can fix their own billing and give them something useful to recommend.
What firms want
- Monthly fee plans that bill clients automatically.
- Invoices for one-off work such as tax returns.
- Clear records that match their bookkeeping.
- Something to offer clients who need payment links and accounts.
Reaching them
Accountants meet through professional bodies, software partner programmes and local business networks. A firm that likes your platform can introduce it to dozens of its own clients.

Things to watch
Firms care about accurate records, so make exports simple and clear. Don't present the platform as financial or tax advice, and be clear about fees for the firm and its clients.
