It saves you hours of manual work and uncovers new areas for growth.

For example, Silverfin Assistant scrutinises financial data to spot opportunities in your data to help you offer proactive advice to your clients.

3. Free Up Capacity for Advisory Services

How much time does your firm spend on manual data entry? What about fixing human errors?

Post accounting software can automate those tasks, streamline compliance workflows, and free up your firm’s capacity.

  • You won’t need to duplicate work.
  • You’ll always have the most up-to-date financial information for your working papers.
  • You’ll have one standardised way of working across your firm, speeding up efficiency.

Silverfin helps you set up automated alerts when a client hits a key benchmark or specific risk factors. Once a threshold is met, your team receives a notification, and you can take action at the right time to make a difference.

You won’t miss key events or opportunities to share advice or provide new services.
