AI automation for accountants and bookkeepers.

Automation runs through the software, inboxes and documents your team already uses. Reduce repetitive inbox triage, client document chasing, BAS preparation and recurring checklists. Keep the supporting records visible and the accountant responsible for review and lodgement.

Client document requests, built inside the software your team already uses, with people approving what matters.

Teams is where your staff instruct the AI. This dashboard is the management layer: live workflows, queued work, exceptions and approvals for accountants and bookkeepers.

Tap to explore live

The dashboard is the window in. Underneath it, specialist AI agents handle client document chase, bas preparation, inbox triage inside the software accountants and bookkeepers already use.

Every Horizon solution includes
  • Specialist AI agents - each one runs a focused workflow, not a generic chatbot
  • Multi-model routing - the right model is selected for each task
  • Human approval gates - client-facing and high-impact actions still wait for a person
  • Audit trail - every AI action is logged with its status and outcome

This is the accounting product. It uses the same live-agent pattern as every Horizon build, shaped around the workflows and software already in use.

In short

How can accountants and bookkeepers use AI automation?

Accountants and bookkeepers use AI automation to cut repeated admin - client document requests, BAS and tax checklist follow-up - while keeping a person on anything that touches a client, payment or compliance record. Horizon AI builds one workflow at a time inside the Xero, MYOB, Xero Practice Manager tools you already run, with the scope, access requirements and testing agreed before implementation.

The first build sits inside familiar systems - inboxes, documents, client portals, practice platforms, booking tools and reporting workflows accountants and bookkeepers already rely on every day.
