03Research

AccountancyManager (AM) is the UK's purpose-built practice-management product for small and mid practices that do not need IRIS Elements' full compliance suite. AM's defining feature is the way it treats the UK regulatory calendar as a first-class data source — pulling Companies House confirmation-statement and accounts deadlines, HMRC self-assessment, corporation tax, and MTD-VAT filing dates directly into client records, then generating task lists and automated client chasers without manual setup. This is the quiet strength that BrightManager and international-origin tools typically do not match on day one.

The product listed on the Sage UK Marketplace and integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage Accounting for two-way sync of clients and engagement status. Pricing starts meaningfully below IRIS Elements, which is a material factor for sub-10-partner firms where practice-management spend is a real line item.

Agentic features — AI-drafted client emails, workflow suggestions, document-collection reminders — are rolling in through 2025–2026 but are not the product's origin story. For a UK firm whose first pain point is "we keep missing deadlines and chasing clients," AM is the cleanest answer in the mid-market; for a Top-100 firm running complex accounts production, IRIS still wins on coverage.
