A Common Myth

Using AI does not mean buying new equipment.

Many organisations hold off on AI because they think they need new computers or expensive software. For most organisations, this is not the case.

What people often think

  • “Our computers are too old for AI.”
  • “We can’t afford new software.”
  • “We don’t have anyone technical.”

The reality

  • Most AI tools work in a web browser on the computers you already have.
  • Software you already pay for, such as Microsoft 365 and Xero, often has automation built in.
  • We start with what you have. We only recommend something new if it pays for itself.
  • We start small, with practical wins and no large upfront cost.
Our Promise

Automated - never unattended.

AI and automation are powerful, but they can make mistakes. That is why every solution we create includes manual checks, so you can have confidence in your information.

Checked before it goes outA person reviews every report, proposal and letter before it goes to your Board, funder or customer.
People approve the spendingPurchases, bills and payments always go to the right person to approve. Nothing is paid without sign-off.
Figures are reconciledNumbers are checked back to your accounting system. Regular spot-checks are part of the process.
Problems are flaggedAnything unusual or missing is sent to a person to sort out.
