For accounting & advisory firms
More clients. Less manual work behind each one.
Use Empty Spaces across your client base to prepare recurring finance work continuously. Your team reviews what needs judgment, owns the client relationship and spends less time gathering data, reconciling accounts, investigating exceptions and assembling reports by hand.

More capacity
Grow the client book without growing the work at the same rate.
Accounting firms are constrained by the repetitive work every client creates. Every new client can mean another set of reconciliations, close tasks, supporting documents, variance explanations, schedules and reporting work.
Empty Spaces prepares more of that work automatically, so your people spend their time where professional judgment and client context matter.
The work
Put the repetitive finance work in motion before your team signs in.
Empty Spaces works across the systems your clients already use to gather evidence, prepare the work, surface exceptions and route decisions back to your team.
Reconcile accounts
Pull ledger and source data, match transactions, compare balances and surface the items that need investigation.

One practice
See what needs attention across every client.
Instead of opening every client's files, spreadsheets, ERP and inbox to understand where the work stands, your team sees the work that needs judgment instead of managing every mechanical step behind it.

Control
Your team stays responsible for the decisions.
Empty Spaces prepares the work. Your team keeps the judgment and authority around it.
Your team decides what the system can access, what it can prepare, what needs approval and what can be posted back into a client's systems.
Evidence
Every proposal comes with the source data and supporting documents behind it.
Approvals
Nothing posts to a client's ledger until a person with approval rights approves it, unless the client's policy explicitly allows otherwise.
Audit trail
See what was done, what evidence was used, what changed and who approved it.
Client boundaries
Each client stays in its own organisation, with separate systems, credentials, roles, approvals and activity history.
More than efficiency
Use the same team to offer more valuable work.
When your people spend less time gathering and preparing the numbers, the economics of higher-value services start to change.
Empty Spaces can help turn recurring accounting work into more continuous controller and finance services.

Your firm provides the professional service. Empty Spaces prepares the work behind it.
How it works
Start with your team. Expand across your client base.
Choose the workflows
Start with the repetitive processes where your team already spends meaningful time every month.
Connect the client's systems
Connect the ERP, bank, cards, payroll, email, documents and other relevant sources.
Set the controls
Define what the system can do, what needs review and who is allowed to approve each action.
Add more clients
Reuse the operating model across similar clients while keeping every client environment separate.
Your relationship
Your client still works with you.
Empty Spaces works behind the service you already deliver. Your firm stays the accountant, controller, adviser and trusted point of contact.
Agents gather the evidence and prepare the underlying work, while your people spend more time discussing decisions, explaining results and helping clients run better.
Built for finance
Automation without losing the control structure around the work.
Finance work carries different consequences from everyday productivity automation. Empty Spaces is built around evidence, permissions, approvals, separate client environments and a complete history of the work from source to decision.
Work with us
Build the operating model with us.
We're working directly with a small number of accounting and advisory firms to identify the workflows that create the most leverage across a client base.
Early partners work directly with our team on implementation, controls, reusable workflows and how Empty Spaces should operate across multi-client practices.
- Direct onboarding support
- Workflow design with your team
- Reusable client operating patterns
- Product feedback straight to our team
- Commercial partnership as the programme develops
Other partnerships
Work with finance teams in another way?
We're starting with accounting and advisory firms, but we're open to working with implementation partners, technology companies and other organisations helping finance teams modernise how work gets done.
Talk to us about a partnershipQuestions
What firms ask us first.
Do you replace our accountants?
No. Empty Spaces prepares recurring finance work so your accountants can focus on review, judgment, client communication and advisory work.
Can we use Empty Spaces across several clients?
Yes. Empty Spaces is being designed so firms can operate repeatable finance workflows across client environments while keeping each client's data, permissions, systems and controls separate.
Do you replace the client's ERP?
No. Empty Spaces works across the systems clients already use. The ERP remains the system of record.
Can Empty Spaces post entries automatically?
Only when the workflow and permissions allow it. Sensitive actions can require approval before anything changes in a client's system.
Which workflows should a firm start with?
The best starting point is usually a high-volume recurring process such as reconciliations, close exceptions, accrual support or recurring management reporting.
How does the partnership work commercially?
We're currently working directly with firms to structure partnerships around their client base, workflows and operating model. Talk to us and we'll determine the right structure together.
Spend more time with clients. Less time preparing the work behind them.
