Your team is losing hours every week to work that should be automated

We map your operations, find the hidden costs, and build the automations that eliminate them. Fixed-price operational audits for accounting firms and professional services.

£48,000 Lost per accountant per year in wasted time
1.2 hours Per day on low-value admin tasks
4–5 months Typical payback on automation investment

UK accounting firms are losing £5.3 billion a year to operational waste

For every hour your team spends on client advisory, partners spend 1.5 hours on internal admin. Document chasing, duplicate data entry, manual compliance checks, scheduling back-and-forth. Your people know it's inefficient. They just can't quantify it.

We can. We map every step, cost every minute, and show you exactly where the money goes.

Three steps to operational clarity

No jargon. No six-month consulting engagement. We work through your operations quickly, show you the numbers, and build the fixes.

1

We map your operations

In a 90-minute discovery session, we walk through your key processes together. We capture every step, every handoff, every role involved — and the real time each takes.

What you get: A visual journey map of your process with every step costed using fully-loaded rates (salary + NI + pension + overhead).
2

We find the waste

We identify exactly where time and money are being lost — duplicate data entry, manual chasing, avoidable handoffs, steps that could be eliminated or automated.

What you get: A prioritised list of automation opportunities with estimated ROI and complexity rating for each.
3

We build the automations

Using n8n, we build workflows that handle the repetitive work: auto-populated documents, client chasing sequences, system-to-system data sync, automated scheduling.

What you get: Working automations deployed in your environment, typically within 2–4 weeks.

The waste is always bigger than you think

Every firm we've mapped has found significant savings hiding in their everyday processes.

Time disappearing into admin

Document chasing, scheduling, manual data entry between systems. Typically 30–40% of team hours go to work a machine should be doing.

💰

Expensive people doing cheap work

Partners and managers doing tasks that could be handled by automation or delegated with proper workflow. Your £125/hour partner shouldn't be chasing documents.

Client experience friction

Slow onboarding, repeated information requests, unclear next steps. Friction that loses prospects and frustrates existing clients.

⚙️

Quick wins sitting untouched

Automated document generation, CRM logging, email sequences, compliance checks — often implementable within days, saving hours every week.

Clear pricing, clear deliverables

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. No obligation, no hard sell — just an honest conversation about whether this would help.

Built for process-heavy businesses

Any business with repetitive workflows, multiple handoffs, and manual admin is a fit. We're starting with the sectors where the savings are biggest.

Based in Glasgow, working with businesses across Scotland and the UK. All engagements can be delivered remotely.

Operations expertise, not software sales

We're not a tech company looking for problems to solve with code. We're operations specialists who use technology where it actually helps.

Built on real experience

Workthru was founded by operations and service design professionals with backgrounds in financial services, including roles at major UK wealth management firms and global banks.

We built our audit methodology — powered by our own operational intelligence platform — to solve a problem we kept seeing: businesses know their processes are inefficient, but they can't put a number on where the waste actually sits.

The audit comes first. The automation follows the evidence. Every recommendation is grounded in your real operational costs, not generic best practice.
