Less time on the manual work.
More time for the work you trained for.

‍

Since 2022, more than 15,000 businesses have used Translucent's multi-entity apps in their monthly
accounting work.

Today we are announcing AI agents for accountants, bookkeepers, and finance teams, alongside changes to the leadership team. The new Translucent is built to automate the jobs you repeat every month.

Whatever drew you to accounting, it wasn't posting journals and it wasn't working past midnight fixing errors. The best parts of the job are the ones only you can do.

Translucent isn't a tool for one task or workflow, and it doesn't dictate how you work. Most accounting software automates a fixed list of jobs, chosen and designed by the vendor. Our agents learn your practice's processes and take on any accounting work: reconciliations, journals, variance analysis, or the one-off jobs no tool covers. You choose what to hand over, you explain the task, and you keep control and visibility over everything that gets done.

If you already use Translucent, none of the existing features are going anywhere. The platform will simply do more for you. We'll share much more detail on the product and the full journey in a blog series to follow, and if you want to be among our early users, join the waiting list here.

Built around the way you actually work

‍

In practice, that means less deadline rush, more consistent month-ends, and fewer weekend catch-ups. You decide which processes to delegate. Your agents follow your practice's playbook and run them the same way every time.

"There's a lot of talk about AI in accounting right now. We only care about two things: does it save you serious time, and can you trust the output. That's what we've built." - Deane Barton, CEO

We have been working closely with leading practices, shaping every workflow around the way they operate, and we are adding more firms from our waiting list every week.

With this launch, Michael Wood, who founded Translucent in 2022 and co-founded Receipt Bank before it, becomes Chairman. Deane Barton (CEO), Alexander Clark (Commercial), and Oliver Wimshurst (Product) came together last year as founders of this next chapter, building on what Michael started. Between them they bring experience from across fintech and accounting: Deane from McKinsey and Tide, Alex from Receipt Bank and Capitalise, Oli from PwC and RORA.

If you are coming to Xerocon London on 8-9 July, come and find us. Tell us where you would most love to see agents take work off your plate, and we'll show you what Translucent can do. And if you can't make it, join the waiting list and we'll be in touch.
