Is Pixie Accounting the same as practice management?
No. Practice management organises clients, services, deadlines and team work. Accounting maintains and reviews the financial records. Pixie lets you configure the practice workflow and add Accounting & Bookkeeping where it fits your requirements.
Can we start with CRM and keep our existing accounting software?
Yes. The first option focuses on client relationships and practice operations. Review any required data exchange separately through the integration directory and confirm provider access and configuration before relying on a connection.
Can our firm give clients their own accounting and CRM software?
That is the bespoke third option. We scope the client workspaces, branding, accounting model, firm oversight and any filing connections with you. It requires a custom demonstration and quotation, followed by testing of permissions and client isolation.
Does automation mean tax returns are filed without approval?
No. Automation can prepare, validate and transfer information, but required declarations, client approval and agent authority still apply. VAT submission requires confirmation, and each Income Tax step has its own requirements. Read the filing requirements.
What can we see in the standard demo?
CRM, practice-management workflows and accounting modules. Your firm’s client-platform design and HMRC submission journey need a customised demonstration. A demo or sandbox exercise is not a live tax submission.
How do we plan migration and rollout?
Start with the records and workflows you need, agree the account mappings and access model, and verify sample data before a wider move. Use the migration checklist and accounting setup checklist to structure the discussion.
