End-of-year financial statements for accounting firms

Year-end is the season that forces a capacity decision for firm owners and partners. Meet Flynn, an AI accountant that takes on the production work practices normally outsource offshore, at a fraction of the cost.

Many firms have already gone through our GST (NZ) and BAS (AU) pilot. Once Flynn is across all the period work, the natural next step is end-of-year compliance. Flynn works on year-end after it already owns the period work, and the firm retains review and sign-off.

From the GST and BAS pilot to year-end

Many accounting firms have already gone through our GST (NZ) and BAS (AU) pilot. That is the period work: the returns Flynn prepares through the year.

Once Flynn is across all of that period work, the natural next step is end-of-year compliance. Flynn works on year-end after it already owns the period work — workpapers, reconciliations, supporting files, and draft financial statements — with the firm keeping review and sign-off.

The production work firms buy capacity for

End-of-year compliance for accounting practices is the seasonal pack: year-end workpapers for accounting firms, supporting files, reconciliations, and draft financial statements — the annual accounts a practice prepares for each client.

It overflows when client volume, the seasonal peak, and senior review land together. Firms outsource that production offshore so the team can keep the next client moving. See outsourced bookkeeping for accounting firms.
