AI Automation for Professional Services

Deploy AI assistants trained on your own documents, SOPs, and pricing — answering staff questions and reducing manual knowledge work.

Why professional services businesses choose this

AI Automation built for professional services

Professional services firms bill by the hour, yet their highest-value people spend significant time on non-billable admin: chasing client documents, coordinating onboarding steps, and assembling matter status updates. When client onboarding takes weeks instead of days and project status is invisible until someone asks, both utilisation and client experience suffer. Automating intake, notifications, and reporting on Microsoft 365 frees fee earners to focus on billable work.

Reduce client onboarding time from weeks to 3-5 business days

Recover 6-10 billable hours per fee earner per week from admin tasks

Get live matter pipeline and WIP visibility without manual status chasing

How it works

What we actually build and deliver

We index your existing documents — SOPs, pricing files, policies, email templates — into a secure knowledge base inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. Then we deploy an AI assistant (via Teams, SharePoint, or a custom interface) that your team can ask questions in plain English. The assistant reads your documents, finds the relevant answer, and cites the source. No data leaves your environment. We handle the prompt engineering, testing, and deployment. Your team gets a working tool, not a prototype.

The problem

What is slowing professional services businesses down

Onboarding new clients takes too long

Document collection, conflict checks, engagement letters, and billing setup involve multiple people and multiple systems. It takes weeks when it should take days.

Billable time lost to admin and coordination

Partners and senior staff spend hours on non-billable admin: chasing documents, updating statuses, scheduling reviews.

Matter and project status is invisible until someone asks

There is no real-time view of which matters are active, what stage they are at, or who is responsible for the next step.

FAQ

Common questions

What documents can the AI read?

PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, SharePoint pages, and email templates. We can also connect to data in Lists or CRM systems via API.

How accurate are the answers?

The AI cites sources for every answer, so your team can verify. We tune the prompts during setup to minimise hallucination and test against real scenarios before launch.

Can we control what the AI can and cannot answer?

Yes. We configure topic boundaries and response guardrails during setup. You can update these at any time via an admin panel.

Can this integrate with our practice management software?

Power Automate connects to most PMS platforms including Leap, MYOB Practice, and Clio via API or email triggers.

How is client confidentiality maintained?

All automation runs inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. No client data passes through external servers.

Can this work for a firm of 5–15 people?

Yes. Most of our clients are small to mid-size professional services firms. We scope only what is practical and cost-effective at your scale.
