Cloud Accounting Working Papers Software for Accountants

Close the books faster with complete confidence

Your team can collaborate in real time, eliminate repetitive tasks, and access the right data instantly. This enables you to close the books faster, reduce risk, and provide better service to your clients.

Silverfin is a cloud accountancy platform designed to make accountants more successful. It stores historical and live client data, automates compliance and other common accounting workflows, and facilitates collaboration within the firm and with clients. Silverfin pulls financial data directly from client systems and hosts it securely in a single structured data hub, eliminating data silos and manual downloads. The platform standardizes this data and uses best practice templates to automate workflows such as working papers, accounts production, and tax, making compliance and reporting easy, fast, and accurate.

Work faster, work smarter, reduce the risk

Silverfin's cloud platform helps accountancy firms prepare and complete working papers, financial statements, corporation tax, and management reports.

Cut out repetitive tasks and data input

Silverfin connects to your accounting software and imports data directly into your working papers. Standard templates reduce manual typing. Roll-forwards, adjustments, and reconciliations happen automatically, allowing your team to focus on review and client work instead of low-value admin tasks.

Work together without version control issues

Everyone can work on the same file simultaneously. You can track changes as they happen, leave review notes, and assign tasks directly in the file. Even when your team is distributed, collaboration is seamless.

Stay compliant and in control

Silverfin is built to meet the latest compliance standards. All client data is stored securely in the cloud. Standardized templates reduce errors, and the built-in audit trail shows exactly who did what and when, helping you demonstrate compliance and reduce risk.

How do I reduce time spent on year-end working papers?

Many firms still use spreadsheets, disconnected files, or outdated tools for working papers. This creates extra work, version control headaches, unnecessary effort, and delays in completing reviews. As deadlines approach, teams scramble to find supporting documents and spend hours reconciling balances, leaving less time for clients or advisory work. Silverfin helps create time savings throughout the process, giving you more time for your clients.

Automation and connected workflows make year-end accounts faster and easier

Silverfin brings all your working papers into one platform. Data flows in directly from your accounting systems, creating a single source of truth. Standard templates reduce manual input and keep files consistent. Automation tools eliminate repetitive tasks. Everyone can collaborate and see progress in real time, review work in context, and finish jobs without last-minute rushes.
