Automation and integration for finance and accounting firms

In short

A automation and integration for a finance business tackles one specific leak: time gets worked but never captured, a client call not logged, a scope creep never raised, a fixed fee that quietly grew, and data gets re-keyed between your practice, accounting and reporting tools by hand. It is slow, it ties up staff time, and every uncaptured hour and every re-key is margin that slips out of the firm and gets discovered too late to bill. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

Time gets worked but never captured, a client call not logged, a scope creep never raised, a fixed fee that quietly grew, and data gets re-keyed between your practice, accounting and reporting tools by hand. It is slow, it ties up staff time, and every uncaptured hour and every re-key is margin that slips out of the firm and gets discovered too late to bill.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a finance business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a finance business leaks margin on the finance industry page.

What Bamco builds

The integrations and automations that capture time and move data between your systems without hand work. Activity in Karbon and Xero flows into time and billing so worked time is captured rather than forgotten, engagement data from Ignition flows through to jobs and invoices, and the handoffs that used to depend on someone remembering to update the other system just happen. Where a tool has no clean connector, we build the path that works, with error handling so nothing fails silently.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From week one, the double entry and the missed captures start disappearing: worked time and data land in the right system without a person re-typing them, freeing hours and closing a whole class of billing leakage.

Month three. By month three the flow between your tools runs itself, your WIP is cleaner because time is captured as it happens, and your staff are doing review and client work rather than data entry and reconciliation.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built automation and integration for a finance business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Our practice, accounting and billing tools do not talk. Can you connect them?
Usually, yes. Where your tools expose a clean interface we use it; where they do not, we build the path that works, with error handling and alerting so an integration never fails silently. The goal is worked time captured once and data entered once, flowing between Karbon, Xero and billing automatically.
Will it work with the tools our finance business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like Xero, Zoho, MYOB and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The automation and integration connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
