DIAGNOSTIC
£950
2 days
We audit one finance workflow and quantify the savings.
- Process map
- Quantified savings estimate
- Recommended automation plan
We save UK accountancy firms 30+ hours a month on the close.
Power Platform and Fabric automation, built in 10 days, payback inside 90.
Most UK accountancy firms still close their books in Excel.
That works at five staff. It breaks at twenty-five. Month-end takes a week instead of a day, partners stay late, errors creep in, and the senior hours that should be spent on advisory work disappear into reconciliations. The cost adds up faster than most firms realise — typically £15,000 to £30,000 a year in loaded labour, on a single workflow.
Three ways to work together.

About Closeworks.
Closeworks is built by David Shumba. Background in finance data and Microsoft Fabric pipelines at a major UK automotive manufacturer, working with SAP FICA reconciliations at production scale. Closeworks brings the same engineering discipline to UK accountancy firms that have outgrown Excel but can't justify a six-figure consultancy.
