Salary benchmarks

Our take

The accountancy and bookkeeping industry is worth $450B, and looking to be the operating system of choice is Pixie. Its platform helps small accountancy and bookkeeping firms automate workflows, collaborate more efficiently and increase visibility over work and deadlines.

Pixie’s key characteristic is its openness and ability to work in tandem with other systems. It acts like a front-of-house assistant, connecting to the firm’s Google or Microsoft email inbox to manage the flow and trigger appropriate follow-up actions.

The company is focused on serving small businesses. This has been a particularly smart move from Pixie as it is these firms that often find collaborating with clients, tracking deadlines, and creating processes for their teams a manual and frustrating process. Pixie's platform has, therefore, proven popular - with thousands of accountants and bookkeepers now using their product to work more effectively and scale their firms.
