The week that disappears into spreadsheets
Bluequill is a finance automation consultancy for owner-managed UK businesses. We automate repetitive work between spreadsheets, email and business systems—with clear checks, an audit trail and human approval. Founded by a finance professional, Bluequill combines finance expertise with practical automation.
We work with owner-managed UK businesses where finance still depends on spreadsheets, re-keying and manual checks. If you want to reduce that workload or strengthen controls, but don’t have the time or expertise to build the automation, Bluequill can help.
- Month-end takes longer than it should, and still lands with a caveat.
- Your systems don’t talk to each other, so someone re-keys the same numbers every week.
- Reconciliations get done — eventually — and nobody’s quite sure which version is right.
- You know automation and AI could help. You don’t have anyone in-house who can make it happen safely.
What we do
Map it. Redesign it. Automate it — with controls.
We map the processes that cost your team the most time, redesign them, and automate them — using the right tool for each step, from straightforward integrations to AI for well-defined tasks such as classifying, drafting and flagging exceptions. Every automation has an audit trail and a point where a person signs off.
Month-end & reporting
The data, checks and pack your team uses for month-end, with variances flagged for your team to explain — produced inside your own systems, with every figure traceable to its source.
Reconciliations & controls
Reconciliation control checks across bank, ledger and other systems that flag what needs fixing and surface exceptions for your team to clear.
Data flows & integrations
Getting numbers out of one system and into another — bank, ledger, CRM, payroll — without re-keying.
We don’t do bookkeeping, accounts or tax. Your accountant stays your accountant. We automate the work around what they and your team already do.
