Paper Design Consulting / Product concept

Agentic accounting
with human judgement.

AI-prepared work. Clear checks. Human judgement.

Paper Thread explores the space between an accountancy firm’s chosen tools: where client context, evidence and work can lose their connection. I mapped the jobs, designed the journeys and brought them into a product that keeps people in control of what happens next.

Less recording.
More doing.

An everyday task, reimagined as a working product.

The original time-recording challenge, reimagined with a connected Figma system and a working front end. Add time, choose a WBS, review the week and try submission with sample data. AI accelerated the exploration; contextual drafting is a future product direction.

A new possibility.

Inspiration, the equipment you own, and a practical next move.
