Solutions

The problem, and what we do about it.

Eight services across four stages, each written against a problem practices actually have. Most firms begin with an assessment and work through in sequence; every service is available on its own.

Not sure which of these you need? Almost nobody is at the start. Twenty minutes on Teams, at no charge, and you will leave knowing which one to point the budget at first.

HiveIQ Scout — AI Readiness Review

A structured look at your systems, workflows, data and team, and a written report ranking where AI would save the most time.

The problem

You know AI matters. You do not know which of the twenty things you have read about applies to a practice your size, and nobody wants to spend the budget finding out the hard way.

What we do

  • An information-gathering session mapping systems, workflows and where the hours go
  • A written assessment, scored and ranked by hours saved against difficulty
  • A review meeting to walk the partners through the findings

What changes

An open-ended project becomes a short list of decisions with numbers beside them — including, where it applies, the recommendation to wait.

HiveIQ Spark — AI Insights & Security

Foundations for everyone who touches client work: what AI does, where it fails, and the controls a regulated practice needs.

The problem

People are already using AI on client work to whatever standard they invented themselves. There is no agreed position on which tools may be used or what may be put into them.

What we do

  • Introduction to AI for accountants — session and slides
  • Data privacy, security and governance — GDPR, confidentiality, handling and human review
  • Both sets of materials retained and reusable when new staff join

What changes

One standard across the practice, and an answer you can give a partner, a client or a regulator without hesitating.

HiveIQ Flow — AI Productivity Suite

Applied AI across the Microsoft 365 tools the team already uses, with prompt libraries written against your own work.

The problem

The team spends more time drafting, summarising and chasing than on work you can bill. You are paying for Microsoft 365 and using a fraction of it.

What we do

  • Outlook, Teams, Edge and SharePoint — session, slides and prompt library
  • Word, PowerPoint and Excel — session, slides and prompt library
  • Two prompt libraries in the practice’s name, kept and reused

What changes

The email that took twenty minutes takes four, and the write-up that took an afternoon takes an hour — every week, for everyone.

HiveIQ Toolkit — AI Workflows for Accountants

Training and a configured AI skill for a defined area of accounting work, deployed on your own systems. Three are available; each is taken on its own.

The problem

The bottleneck is not email. It is coding, packs and year-end preparation — and a general-purpose tool cannot do any of it to a standard you would put your name to.

What we do

  • Accounting — classification, nominal coding, VAT treatment, exception flags, query drafting
  • Management Accounts — monthly packs, variance and trend analysis, drafted commentary
  • Working Papers — lead and supporting schedules, roll-forwards, evidence, year-end preparation
  • Each: a training session, configuration against your own files, deployment and handover

What changes

The first draft of the work is done before anyone sits down to it — and your team reviews and signs, exactly as before.

HiveIQ Forge — Bespoke AI Workflows

A workflow or agent designed around a process only your practice runs: built, tested, documented and handed over.

The problem

You have the client type nobody else serves, or the report that took eleven years to get right. The standard skills do not reach it, and it is expensive in hours every month.

What we do

  • A scoping session to map the process and agree what completion means
  • Build and testing against your own cases, with a fixed written quote first
  • Deployment, documentation and handover so the team can run it alone

What changes

The process that only you run costs a fraction of what it did, and keeps working whether or not HiveIQ is still involved.

Records arrive, HiveIQ prepares the draft, your team reviews, the work goes out signed
SustainKeeping what has been built current, and someone to ask.

HiveIQ Care — AI Retainer

Ongoing maintenance of what has been deployed, as models, tools and your own methods change.

The problem

A skill configured in March is not optimal by September. Models move, tools move, your methods move, and a new starter joins who was not in the room for the training.

What we do

  • Updates and tuning of deployed skills and workflows
  • A named contact for AI questions, answered the same working day
  • Priority support and periodic reviews

What changes

What you spent stays worth having, instead of quietly degrading until someone gives up on it.

HiveIQ Connect — AI Consultation

One 45-minute session on a specific question, with no retainer and no continuing commitment.

The problem

You have been quoted for a tool and cannot tell whether it is worth it, or you want a second view before rolling something out across the practice.

What we do

  • One 45-minute consultation on Teams
  • Practical guidance specific to your practice and its systems
  • Credited against a bundle engaged within sixty days

What changes

A straight answer to the question in front of you, from someone with no interest in selling you a programme you do not need.

Fees

Every service above is priced on the pricing page, alongside what the same services cost taken together. Fees are fixed at engagement and confirmed in writing before work begins.

How it is delivered

On your files, at your pace, on your systems.

Nothing here is taught against an invented company. Sessions run on your chart of accounts, your reporting format and your file structure — and everything configured for the practice is deployed on your own subscriptions.
