From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax turns one annual cycle into four. For a practice with 80 clients, that's 320 submission rounds a year — and the record chasing that comes with each one. I help small accounting practices sort the workflow before the volume hits.
Most practices I speak to are fine on the compliance tools. Xero's in place, the bridging software works. The pressure point is everything around it: chasing clients for records, building query lists, re-keying data between systems, answering the same client questions for the tenth time.
That work is manual, it's invisible on your timesheets, and MTD is about to quadruple how often you do it. Hiring your way out is slow and expensive. Most of it doesn't need a person at all.
I start with an AI Readiness Audit: a 60-minute call and a written report identifying your practice's three biggest time-sinks and the specific automation fix for each, with the hours and cost recovered set against real numbers from your practice.
If the report makes the case, I build the priority workflows, connect them to your existing stack, train your team, and hand over documentation you own. No lock-in, no monthly platform fee to me.
Your biggest time-sinks named and measured, worst first — not a generic list of "AI opportunities".
The specific automation for every bottleneck, with the tools and the build effort spelled out.
Hours and fee-earning value you get back, set against real numbers from your practice.
A prioritised plan you can act on with or without me. No lock-in.
I work only with accounting firms — I'm not a general AI agency reselling the same deck to every industry. Everything I build is designed around how a practice actually runs, and around keeping client data where it should be.
I'm Conaill Boyle. I hold a First-Class degree in Actuarial Science and Risk Management from Queen's University Belfast — I think in numbers, and I don't make ROI claims I can't show my working on. I build the automations myself; you're not handed to an account manager. I focus on one thing: making small accounting practices faster without more headcount.
The practices that sort their workflow now go in calm. Fifteen minutes tells us if there's something worth building.
