The power of aiGust: Smart features for accountants, by accountants
The aiGust platform offers a range of innovative tools specifically designed to help accountants strengthen their advisory role. One of the key features is benchmarking, through which the platform provides accountants with access to data from various sectors. This goes beyond standard financial results such as EBITDA; aiGust also provides in-depth insight into specific cost items, such as the cost of energy and rent. This allows accountants to place companies' performance in a broader market context, enabling them to make valuable comparisons.
In addition, aiGust allows users to build a personalised group of companies. This across the entire aiGust dataset. All figures from a file can then be compared to this group of companies. This feature provides more relevant insights, tailored to specific business segments or niches.
The platform also supports the delivery of proactive advice. Accountants can go beyond just presenting figures using the data aiGust provides. They gain the ability to distil strategic insights from the available data, allowing them to advise their clients more proactively and help them make better decisions for the future.
“aiGust is a wonderful opportunity for the entire industry,” confirms Leslie Van den Branden, Managing Partner Grant Thornton. “Not only the accountancy clients benefit enormously: by sharing data, they get market insights, trends and benchmarks instead. Our employees themselves also benefit. With AI, our accountants can fully realise their advisory role.”
In an increasingly digital world, aiGust provides accountants with the tools to not only work with their own numbers, but also to put them in the broader market context. By using the right benchmarks and gaining deeper insights, accountants can help their clients become even more successful.
“The strength of aiGust lies in collaboration,” says Tim. “We not only help accountants understand their numbers better, but also provide the context of the market to take their advice to the next level.” Leslie concurs: “At Grant Thornton, we also firmly believe in the power of collaboration. With aiGust, this is also possible together with our competitors. Which is particularly innovative and takes the entire accountancy sector to the next level.”
