What We Implement

Your whole back office, working as one system.

Most firms patch together a bookkeeping tool, a payroll provider, a document portal, and a wall of spreadsheets — each seeing its slice, none talking to the others. We wire it into one system across six areas of firm operations. Every engagement starts with an audit of where your staff's hours actually go — then we automate the parts that don't need a human.

01 / 06

Accounting & Bookkeeping

Precise, real-time books without getting lost in spreadsheets.

Precise, real-time books without getting lost in spreadsheets.

Catch-up & clean-up bookkeeping

Automated coding of transactions against your chart of accounts, with human review only on genuine exceptions.
Month-end close acceleration
Automated variance flags and accrual suggestions cut close time without cutting corners.
Trial balance review & anomaly detection

QuickBooks / Xero / Sage integration
Agents work inside the tools your firm already runs — no rip-and-replace.
Why Now

The firms that wait are choosing to compete against automated margins.

This isn't a hypothetical. The analysts your clients already read are telling them the same thing: routine finance work is being automated, on a timeline measured in quarters, not decades. The firms that build this capability now will set the pricing and the service standard — and everyone else will be explaining to clients why their close takes three weeks.

Generative AI could automate the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs globally, with roughly 25% of current work tasks in the US and Europe already exposed to automation.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, 2023

By 2028, a third of enterprise software will include agentic AI, up from under 1% in 2024 — enabling autonomous handling of routine, day-to-day decisions.

Gartner, 2025

Roughly 40% of finance-function activities — transaction processing, data collection, reporting — can be fully automated with technology available today.

McKinsey & Company
How It Works

Four stages. One accountable partner.

01

Operations Audit

We map how your firm actually spends hours today — by client, by task, by season. No assumptions, no generic playbook.

02

Solution Design

We scope a custom automation plan against your existing stack (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, your practice management tool) — not a rip-and-replace.

03

Build & Integrate

Foundry Agent Inc builds and deploys the agents. The Capital Work manages the engagement, timeline, and change management with your staff.

04

Review & Scale

Every automated action is logged and auditable. Once a workflow is proven, we scale it across the rest of the firm's client base.

The Partnership

Advisory relationship on one side. Engineering execution on the other.

The Capital Work runs the consulting relationship — the audit, the roadmap, the accountability. Foundry Agent Inc builds and operates the AI systems underneath it. One point of contact for your firm, two teams that specialize in exactly what they do.
