Silverfin

Silverfin tackles the messiness of compliance work across a client base. In a typical firm, every client's year-end file looks a little different, built by whoever did it, in whatever spreadsheet shape they preferred. Silverfin replaces that with one standardised structure in the cloud, so every file follows the same format.

Client data flows in from the ledger into structured templates, and the compliance cycle runs on top: working papers, accounts production, corporation tax computations, and management reporting. Because the data and the templates are consistent, work is faster, review is easier, and a manager can pick up any client's file and know where everything is.

That standardisation is the real product. It is less about any single feature and more about a firm running its whole compliance process the same way every time, which is what lets it scale without quality drifting between staff.

Silverfin prices per client file rather than per user, billed annually on a quarterly cycle, with the core Hub plus add-on modules for accounts production, tax, and management accounts. Pricing is quoted by sales, with no free trial.

It connects to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Exact Online, among others, and serves the UK and Europe. The fit is a UK or European firm doing compliance and accounts production at volume; it is not built for US practices, and a firm with only a handful of files sits below its usual scale.
