Run the work · Audit trail
An audit trail for accounting firms that records itself
Every action across the client lifecycle carries who did it, what changed, when, and why. FigsFlow captures it as the work happens rather than asking anyone to reconstruct it afterwards.
- Append-only
- Who, what, when and why
- Exportable for a reviewer

The problem
Evidence scattered is evidence missing
When a reviewer, an insurer or a client asks what happened and when, most firms piece the answer together from emails, file notes and memory.
Reconstructing the story
- Decisions recorded in emails, if at all
- File notes written days after the event
- No record of why a fee or rating changed
- Hours spent assembling a file for a reviewer
A trail that writes itself
- Every action recorded as it happens
- Who, what, when, and why where it matters
- Corrections added, never overwritten
- One export for anyone who needs to read it
How it works
Recorded once, readable forever
Act
Your team works normally. Sending, signing, approving and changing are all events.
Record
Each event stores who did it, what changed, when, and the reason where one is required.
Correct
Nothing is edited or deleted. A correction is a new event that points to the original.
Read
Filter one client’s trail by person, module and date, or export it for a reviewer.
What you get
An activity log for client work
It is not a feature you switch on. It is how the work is recorded.
Append-only
No administrator can edit or delete an entry. The history stays as it happened.
Four fields, every time
Who, what, when, and why where a reason was required, on every event.
Reasons when it matters
Overrides and fee changes ask for a reason at the moment they are made.
One continuous record
From first enquiry to last invoice, one trail per client across every module.
Filters that answer questions
By person, by module, by date, so a specific question has a specific answer.
Export for a reviewer
A readable package of one client’s record, decisions and evidence references.
One event, opened
Everything a reviewer would ask about it
Open any event to see the person, their authority, the change made, the time it was made and, where a reason was required, the reason in their own words.
The audit trail evidences what your firm did. Whether it was the right thing remains your firm’s professional judgement.
