We map one workflow in your practice, put a monthly number on the manual hours in it, and tell you straight whether automating it pays back. You keep the findings either way.
90 minutes · one workflow · no obligation · you get the written findings
Tell us the practice and the workflow that hurts most.
No sales deck. One call, one workflow, one written conclusion. Here is the whole thing.
You walk us through the workflow as it runs today — who touches it, in what order, in which tools. We ask questions; we don't pitch.
We draw the process, count the manual steps and the handoffs, and put your own hourly cost against the hours it eats each month.
A short document: where the time goes, what automation would remove, what it would cost to build, and the payback period. Go or no-go, stated plainly.
The audit is free because it earns us the right to quote the build. If the numbers don't work, we say so and you've lost nothing but 90 minutes.
The most expensive time in an accounting practice is not the accounting. It's the chasing, the re-keying and the exceptions.
We automate the workflow around the accounting. The accounting stays yours.
You can run this yourself. It's the same calculation we'll do on the call.
| Input | Example practice | Your number |
|---|---|---|
| Hours a month spent chasing & re-keying | 18 hours | ? |
| Internal cost per hour (salary + overhead) | £28 | ? |
| Monthly cost of the manual workflow | £504 | |
| Annual cost | £6,048 | |
| Typical build to remove most of it | £2,500–£6,000 | |
| Payback period | 5–12 months |
If your annual cost is under about £3,000, the honest answer is usually "don't build this yet" — and that's what the audit will say.
Straight answer: because we're new, so we're cheap, fast and we do the work properly the first time. Here's the trade.
Quoted before any work starts. No hourly drift, no change-request games. If we misjudge the scope, that's our loss.
Your practice software, your email, your storage. We don't move your data onto our platform, and we don't lock you in.
The findings document stands alone. Hand it to your IT provider, build it yourself, or do nothing. No catch.
It's free and it is a sales conversation — we're trying to win the build. The difference: you get a written cost analysis you can act on without us, and we tell you when building isn't worth it.
No. The audit works from your description of the process and your own time estimates. We don't need names, figures, or access to any client record. If a build goes ahead, access is scoped then, in writing.
Most single-workflow builds land between £2,500 and £6,000. It depends on how many systems have to talk to each other and how messy the exceptions are. That's the number the audit produces.
Usually not. Software holds the record; it doesn't chase the client, catch the missing receipt, or route the review note. Those gaps are where the hours go, and they're what we look at first.
Audit call within a week of booking, written findings within three business days of that call. A build, if it goes ahead, is typically two to four weeks.
AskUncleJifu is a small automation studio. We build workflow automation for professional-services firms and publish what we charge. We're deliberately early-stage and price accordingly.
90 minutes, free, written findings either way.
