FOR ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Software for accountants
Bright is built for accounting practices: a connected suite designed around how they actually work, from sending a proposal to filing their accounts.
Year-end without the bottleneck: Client data flows between accounts production, tax and working papers, so nothing needs rekeying between systems as work moves from bookkeeping through to filing.
Automatic client chasing: Win clients with a proposal, and once it's accepted, onboarding tasks and automatic document requests pick up, so nothing stalls in the weeks before year-end.
Practice-wide task visibility: Every job, every deadline and every team member’s capacity in a single view, so backlogs surface early instead of hiding until they’re overdue.
HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER
Suite of award-winning software for accountants
Use Bright software for every step of running your accountancy practice, from the first conversation with a prospect to the final compliance filing.
Win and retain clients
Turn new enquiries into signed engagements faster with instant proposals built on your own service lines, pricing logic, and run AML and identity checks all within Bright’s software.
Run your practice
Track every job, every deadline and every team member’s capacity from a single practice management hub, spot bottlenecks before they become missed deadlines, and monitor work in progress in real time.
Deliver compliance work
Produce accounts, prepare tax returns and review workpapers in connected tools that pull from the same client data, with no rekeying between systems and no version-control headaches.
Handle company secretarial
Manage confirmation statements, director changes, share allotments and every Companies House obligation without switching tools, with Inform Direct adding company intelligence for the clients that need it.
