Month-end closed on time.Every client, every ledger.
Autonomy is earned, not switched on.
Every use case starts on a rung you choose. Each approval teaches Hive the boundary. As approvals become routine, the work moves up a rung, within limits you set and can pull back at any time.

Ledgers, inboxes and files in one governed workflow, from reconciliation to filing.
Use case examples. A sample of the work Hive takes over. The full map is drawn with your team in week one.
Half of month-end is spent chasing clients for missing paperwork.
+Hive tracks every client file, chases missing receipts, statements and approvals across email, WhatsApp and SMS on a polite schedule, and escalates only the stragglers to you.
Four hours a day disappear into the inbox.
+Hive triages every client email, answers the routine ones from your knowledge and their file, drafts replies for the rest in your voice, and routes anything substantive to the right person with the full thread attached.
VAT returns are drafted from scratch every quarter, per client.
+Hive pulls the period from the ledger, checks it against the bank and Dext, flags anything unusual, and drafts the return into TaxCalc ready for review and filing.
Transactions sit uncategorised until someone finds a free afternoon.
+Hive codes transactions as they arrive, matches invoices and receipts from Dext, learns the firm's coding conventions per client, and queues one clean batch for review.
Month-end close takes three days per client of reconciliation.
+Hive reconciles bank against ledger, flags anomalies, and drafts the management accounts with plain-English commentary for the partner to approve.
Self-assessment season is a document scramble and a status black hole.
+Hive runs the SA programme per client: requests documents, tracks who's outstanding, drafts the organiser and the return, and sends status updates so clients stop calling to ask.
VAT, payroll, accounts and confirmation-statement deadlines live in someone's head.
+Hive tracks every statutory deadline across the whole client book, drafts the reminders, and surfaces what's at risk this week.
Monthly payroll runs are a deadline scramble across clients.
+Hive gathers starters, leavers, hours and bonuses, runs the checks, drafts the payroll for approval and files the RTI submission.
Proposals and engagement letters are a copy-paste afternoon.
+Hive drafts both from the enquiry and the firm's pricing, applies the right precedent, and sends for e-signature once the partner approves.
The partners can't see capacity, WIP or which clients are unprofitable.
+Hive maintains a live view of WIP, write-offs and recovery by client, and briefs the partners on the accounts that cost more to serve than they pay.
