Can we afford the £85k CNC machine before year end?
A
Yes, but tight if you pay cash. You've got £212,400 in the bank, and the buy would take you close to your comfort line in August. There's a smarter way to pay for it, and the timing changes your tax bill. Want me to tee it up with your accountant?

Under the bonnet

Built on the models
that changed everything.

Alfred runs on Claude and ChatGPT, the same frontier models behind the biggest breakthroughs in AI, then fine-tuned on UK tax law, accounting standards and your specific trade. State-of-the-art intelligence, calibrated to your numbers and your industry.

YearReady™

Year-end becomes a tick-box, not a fire drill.

Months before the deadline, Alfred tells you what needs sorting, what it's worth, and who should handle it. By the time your accountant calls, you're already ready.

  • Sorted by what saves you most
  • Plain English, no homework
  • One tap shares it with your accountant

When it's judgement, it's human.

Alfred never plays the expert. Tax calls, insurance, legal stuff, one tap and it's with your accountant or a vetted specialist, homework already done.

  • Your own accountant, already up to speed
  • No regulated advice from a robot. Ever.
  • You always see who said what, and why

The governance layer

Nothing moves without the nod.

Approve, tweak or decline. Every figure carries its evidence, every yes goes on the record, and the regulated calls always land with regulated people.
