Who we are

The people behind theaifd.

theaifd is AI native and accountant led. The platform does what technology does best, at a pace no team can match. Experienced accountants do what it cannot: judge, question and take responsibility. It is built and run by AI Finance Partners Ltd, a UK practice that runs its own clients on it every day.

Who is behind theaifd?

theaifd is built and run by AI Finance Partners Ltd, company 17128529, led by its Managing Director, Andrew Isaacs. Andrew is a Chartered Global Management Accountant and a CIMA member in practice, and the firm itself is supervised by CIMA for anti money laundering.

AI Finance Partners signs the Partner Agreement with your practice, stands behind every release, and corrects without charge any material error on its side.

Why was theaifd built?

Because good accountancy practices are short of people, not of clients. The answer most practices are offered is to send the work offshore, which brings capacity but takes away sight of how the work was done.

theaifd was built to give practices the capacity without that trade. The repetitive part of the work is prepared by the platform, every figure keeps its evidence, and the judgement stays with qualified people. It was built inside a working practice, on real client work, rather than in a lab.

What does native automation with experience mean?

It means the technology is not bolted onto an old way of working. Receipts, bookkeeping, month end, management packs and year end were designed from the start to be prepared by the platform and decided by a person.

Experience is what makes that safe. The platform is fast and consistent, but it can be confidently wrong. An experienced accountant knows when a figure does not look right, asks the question the client did not expect, and refuses to sign until it is answered. theaifd puts that experience at the gates where it matters, rather than spending it on typing and chasing. We call the model humAIn: human and machine together, never one without the other.

What is Andrew's background?

Andrew started his career in operations, then moved into finance because he saw how often accountants spoke in accountants' language rather than the language of the business.

He delivered corporate grade management accounting at Openreach, was Head of Finance at a law firm, and then founded AI Finance Partners to bring that standard of reporting to owner managed businesses. In every role he has set out to automate most of the routine, so that his time goes on the part that makes the difference. theaifd is that approach, built for accountancy practices.

Who signs off the work?

A qualified accountant at AI Finance Partners. Every job passes four recorded human gates, and each records who made the decision, when, and on what evidence, so your practice can see exactly who released its work.

If your practice chooses to keep the final review in house, your own reviewer signs it off in your portal instead, with the same record.

Is AI Finance Partners a real practice?

Yes. AI Finance Partners Ltd is a UK limited company, number 17128529, registered at Rivington House, 82 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3JF. It looks after its own clients, including monthly bookkeeping, management accounts, month end close and year end accounts, and it runs that work on theaifd.

That is the point of the platform: the practice that built it depends on it. You can meet the practice side at aifinancepartners.co.uk.
