Your New AI-Powered Copilot for Accounting Compliance Excellence

I’m thrilled today to announce the launch of the Silverfin Assistant. 
 
Although I always tread carefully to avoid clichés like ‘game-changing’ and ‘revolutionary’…  there’s no denying it: the Silverfin Assistant is, indeed, a game-changer! 

Let me explain why we think this launch is not only exciting for our customers but also for every firm with an eye for AI-driven innovation.

First, what is the Silverfin Assistant?

Essentially, it’s a tool designed to work alongside you to save you time and give you peace of mind.  

It uses AI and Machine Learning to automatically check your client data to find things that might have been overlooked.  Things like missing transactions, outliers or unexpected entries in the data.  It’ll also spot things that can help your client save money, optimise their tax or pre empt possible future issues.  A helping hand when you’re working in Silverfin. 

Is this yet more AI hype?

No, this is the real deal! The Silverfin Assistant has already been a big hit in Belgium over the last few years, where so many of our customers rely on it to improve the quality of their data and the service they provide.

And now, we’ve built out a comprehensive set of AI-powered checks and rules specifically for the UK accounting landscape.  Our customer trials are complete, and we’re excited to declare lift-off day!

Silverfin Assistant is fully available for our customers, 
and to
new firms signing up with Silverfin.


How does the product work?

As you prepare your client’s working papers, the assistant constantly scans the data in the background. When it finds points of interest or anything unexpected, it makes a note with a helpful nudge to take a look.  You can then decide whether to add it as a todo for follow up, or dismiss it.   

We’re constantly adding to and improving the checks it carries out, guided by our customers who can submit feedback in real-time as they’re using the tool.

What benefits can you expect? 

The life of an accountant can be a whirlwind of deadlines, checking, and juggling files. The Silverfin Assistant’s mission in life is to alleviate your stress and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. It’s not only your safeguard against errors but also a great tool for training junior staff on what to look out for when analysing a client file.

And best of all, you’re always in control. The Silverfin Assistant is designed to work alongside you, providing suggestions that you review and decide upon. It’s an assistant in more than just name!

What about security and privacy?

Rest assured the assistant is subject to the same robust protections in place already for all our customers.  It’s fully integrated into the platform. Your data remains safe and secure within our cloud environment, and is not shared with any 3rd-party systems. Think of it as your own AI tool, dedicated to your firm, learning from your client data. 

More good news – we recently announced our ISO-270001 certification.  Learn more about on how we protect our customer data and our infrastructure here.
