A small UK team helping practices put AI to work.

Aligned Intelligence is one half of the Aligned product family. Aligned MTD takes care of HMRC bridging for ITSA and VAT. Aligned Intelligence helps your practice adopt AI in a way that is safe, practical, and built around the way your firm actually works.

Charlotte Kieran

Founder

Charlotte spent 20 years inside the accounting software industry, at Sage, Exact, Bottomline, and NetSuite. She knows how these companies think, how they build, and how they price.

She left to raise her family, manage her own property portfolio, and take on a role as Chair of Governors at a local school.

When MTD was announced, she didn't see it as a former tech executive. She saw it as a landlord. She had a spreadsheet that worked. She resented being told to scrap it for an expensive subscription.

So she built a tool that took her spreadsheet and filed it to HMRC. No re-keying. No new platform to learn. Just upload, map, submit. From that came Aligned MTD, and from working with practices on it came Aligned Intelligence.

Charlotte works with a small bench of AI specialists, accountancy practitioners, and senior engineers who plug in across discovery, model selection, and build, so every engagement has the right hands on it from day one.

"We are not building another AI strategy deck. We are building working systems inside real practices, one workflow at a time."

How we think about this

One vertical, done properly.

UK accounting practices only. We know the service lines, the regulators, and the commercial shape of a firm. That is the only stack we work on.

Aligned to your practice, not ours.

What we build sits in your own AI workspace, on your stack, against your templates. If you want us back for the next piece, we are a phone call away. If you don't, you keep the working system.

Walk, crawl, run.

Trying to boil the ocean with too much change too fast is the surest way to wreak chaos. We start small, prove it on real clients, and expand at a pace that suits you.

Let's talk about your practice.

Thirty minutes. We'll look at your service lines and where AI can actually move the needle on growth.
