About Brieff

Putting clients at the centre.

Brieff was built to support accounting firms that deeply care about their clients and go beyond the numbers.

Our story

A people-first platform for accountants.

In the summer of 2023, we, Kate Shanahan and Matthew Lepahe, decided to build a platform for accountants and their clients. With small business ingrained in our families, we know how hard it is to run one, and we've seen firsthand how valuable a great accountant's support can be.

But when we looked for software to help accountants advise business owners, we mostly found reporting tools. Business is about people, and accountants deserve a people-first platform dedicated to helping them help their clients. That's what we've built.

What we believe

How we work.

Our users always come first.

From day one, we've built alongside our users. They help shape our product and are the reason we build what we build. Customer support is always our priority. Brieff wouldn't mean anything without our community.

We're small and we move fast.

Our best advantage is enthusiasm, agility and speed of execution. We ship fast without breaking things, and a deep understanding of advisory lets us run a healthy, purpose-driven business. Small team, industry-grade product, infrastructure and security.

Technology is always about people.

There's plenty of new accounting tech that'll reconcile transactions. That's not us. We use the latest technology to help accountants and their clients have more impactful conversations, deeper relationships, and reach more of their goals.

The team

A purpose-driven team with big ambitions.
