AI for professional services

An AI teammate for your practice that finds the stuck filings before the due date

Glimmer works in your team chat. It checks every client against the filing calendar, drafts the document chasers and matches bank lines to invoices. Your team asks in plain words, and a person signs off on the work.

187

client companies checked against the filing calendar in one ask.

AGM, annual return, ECI and GST dates, on a Sunday night.

Three jobs it takes off your team

Where the hours go in a small practice

Every client has filing dates, and every job starts with chasing documents. Staff spend hours keying numbers the client never sees.

AGM season, swept before Monday

A corp-sec practice tracks ACRA AGM and AR dates, ECI and GST F5 across nearly two hundred client entities in one master spreadsheet. One missed date is a late-lodgement penalty on the client's bill, and usually the client.

A deadline radar, not a filing robot. The managing partner asks on a Sunday night; the agent sweeps the whole client book and surfaces the three that are actually stuck.

@Glimmer July already, Dec-FYE AGM season. Sweep the client master list against the filing calendar. Anything due in the next 30 days that isn't cleared?

GlimmerBotSun, 9:54 PM

Swept 187 live entities in the master sheet. 11 filings fall due in the next 30 days, 8 are on track (FS signed or papers circulating). Three are stuck:

ClientFilingDueBlocker
Novatek MarineAGM + AR28 JulNo signed FS received
Herly TradingECI31 JulAccounts not closed
Casa Verde F&BAGM + AR9 AugDirector overseas, AGM date unconfirmed

One caveat: two entities changed FYE in March, my due dates for those follow the engagement letters, and I couldn't confirm ACRA reflects the change. Worth a BizFile check before you rely on them. Nothing gets lodged from my side, the radar is mine, the signature is yours.

Novatek first, a missed AR nearly lost us them last year. Put all three on tomorrow's standup and I'll verify the two FYE changes myself. ๐Ÿ™

The polite-nag treadmill, off your plate

Every GST quarter the practice manager spends evenings chasing clients for bank statements and invoices, the same polite reminders, twenty-plus times, on whichever channel each client actually answers.

Nine chasers, one review. The agent works out who still owes what, drafts each nudge in the client's usual channel, and the manager keeps the one call that needs a human touch.

@Glimmer Apr to Jun GST F5s are due 31 Jul and half my clients still haven't sent their documents. Who's outstanding, and can you draft the chasers so I'm not typing the same message all evening?

GlimmerBotThu, 6:11 PM

Checked the shared drive and inbox against the Q2 GST list: 14 of 23 client packs are complete. 9 outstanding, 6 missing bank statements, 3 missing supplier invoices. Drafted a personalised chaser for each, in their usual channel (7 WhatsApp Business, 2 email). Sample:

Drafted for you, BrightPath Logistics
Hi Mr Tan, gentle reminder from the team ๐Ÿ™‚ We're preparing BrightPath's Apr to Jun GST F5 (due 31 Jul) and are still missing the June bank statement and 4 supplier invoices. A photo over WhatsApp works fine. Thank you!

All 9 are queued for your review, none go out until you say so.

Send all except Heng Brothers, Mr Heng gets a call, not a text ๐Ÿ˜…

GlimmerBotThu, 6:15 PM

Sent 8 of 9; Heng Brothers left with you. I'll tick each client off as documents land and nudge the quiet ones again on Monday.

Juniors review the 37, not key the 1,879

New engagements start with a junior spending two days keying bank-statement lines against invoices, low-value tie-out work that burns chargeable hours and teaches nobody anything.

The tie-out, pre-matched. The agent does the keying overnight and hands the team a short exception list, judgement stays with the humans.

@Glimmer new engagement, Marisol Interiors, FY25 compilation. 12 months of bank statements in the drive, their Xero is connected. Tie out the statements against the invoices before Wei Lin starts tomorrow?

GlimmerBotTue, 6:48 PM

Done, 1,842 of 1,879 statement lines matched to Xero invoices or bills (98%). 37 exceptions for review:

ExceptionLinesNote
Combined PayNow deposits21Several invoices settled in one transfer
Bank charges not in Xero9Monthly account + FAST fees
No matching invoice found7Needs a client query, I didn't guess

Each exception links to the statement line and my best-guess counterpart. The 7 unmatched lines go on the client query list as-is, attributing them is a judgement call, not mine to make.

So tomorrow I review 37 lines instead of keying 1,879? ๐ŸŽ‰

It works with what your practice already runs

Singapore grants

The government pays part. You pay the rest

A first AI build for one job is the kind of project Singapore's AI grants were made for. GenAI x Digital Leaders from IMDA covers a focused first build of up to S$20,000. We help you apply.

How we start

One team, one job, about 3 months

We pick the job that costs you the most hours, build the first agent with you and hand it over. Your team runs it after that.

Questions owners ask

Straight answers, before you book a call

Do we have to change our accounting software or our client files?

No. Glimmer works on top of what you already run: Xero, your shared drive and the client master spreadsheet. Nobody has to learn a new app. We confirm the fit for your systems before we start.

Our clients send documents on WhatsApp. Can Glimmer work with that?

Yes. Glimmer drafts each chaser in the channel the client answers, such as WhatsApp or email. Your team talks to Glimmer in Lark, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat, WhatsApp or Telegram.

Will it message clients or post to the accounts on its own?

Only if you let it. You choose which actions need a person's OK, such as a client message or an accounts entry. Glimmer asks the person who made the request, in the same chat. Nothing happens until someone taps Approve.

Our client files are confidential. Where does the data go?

Your data stays yours. Glimmer runs in your own cloud account, or on a private server we set up for you. To answer, it sends the question and the text it needs to the AI company. It uses your own account, on terms where the AI company does not train on your data or keep it. We write down exactly where your data goes before we start.

What does it cost, and can a grant pay part?

We price it after a call about your work, because the cost depends on the size of the build. Most first builds qualify for a Singapore grant. The government pays part, you pay the rest, and we help you apply. See which grant fits.

Can I try it before we commit to a build?

Yes. Our leadership workshop puts an AI agent in your hands for an afternoon, with no coding. Seats start from S$779.
