We recently ran a poll of accountants, the result 86% of accountants said they don’t use AI chatbots or similar tools in their practice.
A small percentage of forward-thinking accountants are using AI to deliver faster, more cost-efficient service.
At BAA Group, we believe being tech-friendly isn’t a gimmick, it’s a way to save clients time, money, and stress.
Let’s break down how AI tools can transform the way your accounts are handled.
1. Faster Responses to Questions
Traditional accountants might take days to respond to routine questions, especially during busy periods.
With AI support, we can:
- Quickly summarise complex HMRC guidance
- Draft clear explanations for clients faster
- Speed up calculations or scenario planning (e.g., “What happens if I pay a dividend vs. salary?”)
A director asks whether to buy a company car or lease personally.
- Traditional accountant: 2–3 days to research, run numbers, and reply.
- AI-assisted accountant: 30–60 minutes to model tax scenarios and draft a clear recommendation by drafting and refining using their own techncially knowledge.
2. Streamlined Bookkeeping & Data Entry
AI tools help us automatically extract data from receipts, invoices, and bank feeds, cutting down hours of manual entry or basic “dumb” software. This means:
- Faster month-end or year-end accounts
- Fewer errors
- More time spent on advice instead of admin
A small e-commerce business with 100 invoices a month could save 6–8 hours of bookkeeping time monthly — that’s time we can reinvest in helping you reduce tax bills or plan growth.
3. Smarter Tax Planning & Scenario Modelling
AI can’t replace human judgement, but it can process data and test tax scenarios rapidly, so we can advise you quicker and with more confidence.
Manual calculation of different profit extraction methods (salary, dividends, bonuses) might take an hour or more.
With AI-assisted tools, we can model scenarios in minutes and focus our time on strategy, not spreadsheets.
4. Proactive Insights for Better Decision-Making
Instead of just looking at the past, we can use AI to spot trends in your numbers and suggest actions sooner, like cash flow risks, overspending, or opportunities to claim reliefs.
Why It Matters for You
If your accountant isn’t using modern tech, you could be paying for manual processes and wasted time.

- Faster answers to business-critical questions
- Reduced admin and bookkeeping hours
