We do the work.
Three ways to work with us. A named accountant is responsible for every filing.
Your accountant
No finance team? We're it.
Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, tax and month-end, across the countries you work in. Tell us the countries. We confirm what we can take on, including any local professional required to sign or file.
Your finance team, automated
Your team directs. Agents do the work.
We build and run agents inside your team, in the tools you already use. Our accountants check the work. You approve every payment and every filing before it goes.
Your firm, automated
Review the work instead of preparing it.
We build agents for accounting firms that take routine deliverables end to end. The agreement records the hosting location, providers, access and data handling.
What we handle.
- Bookkeeping
- Categorises and reconciles every transaction. Keeps the ledger clean.
- Paying bills
- Reads supplier bills, checks them and lines up payments for your approval.
- Getting paid
- Sends invoices, chases late payers and matches what comes in.
- Expenses
- Collects receipts, chases the missing ones and codes them.
- Payroll
- Prepares payroll, payslips and payroll filings. Checked before anyone is paid.
- VAT and sales tax
- Prepares returns in every country. Our accountants check and file them.
- Month-end close
- Closes the books: reconciliations, accruals and the checks before you sign off.
- Reporting
- Management accounts, cash position and answers to your questions.
- Audit readiness
- Keeps your audit file ready all year, so audit season is not a scramble.
- Filing deadlines
- Tracks every filing for every company and starts the work before it is due.
- Companies with entities, staff or VAT registrations in more than one country.
- Company formation, registrations and ongoing accounting when you open in another country.
- A UK company behind on its filings, with the owner living abroad.
- Moving from your current accountant without losing your records.
Agree the work first.
Your engagement is with OpenAccountants, the trading name of Glimpse Ltd in Malta. We carry out the agreed work, invoice you and are responsible to you for it.
We confirm availability, the selected services, total fee, responsible accountant and start date in writing before work starts. The engagement names any locally licensed professional required to sign or file.
The free skills and AI connection help with research and drafts. They do not submit a return or make a payment. A skill for a country does not establish availability for client work there, and its author is not automatically assigned to your work.
Ledger access is read-only by default. The AI produces proposed journals as an import file or a list of postings for a human to approve. Nothing is posted without sign-off.
Paid engagement terms →We learn how you work now
One round of questions and a call. We write down every job, who does it today and which systems it touches.
We connect, read-only
We read your bank, ledger and tools. Nothing changes yet.
A parallel run
We do the job next to whoever does it today, for one or two cycles, and compare the results line by line. Nothing we do goes out.
Only when the results match, and only when you say so, we switch on one job at a time. A named accountant checks the work and answers to you.
On time, or half price.
If a filing we are responsible for goes in late, or the month is not closed by the agreed day, that month costs 50% less.
Applies when the client's records reach us by the agreed date. The full terms are in your written engagement.
