Summary

BrightManager is cloud-based practice management software for accounting practices, bookkeepers, and payroll bureaus. It creates tasks and subtasks from compliance deadlines, with workflow templates, task assignment, and progress tracking to coordinate work. Its onboarding process can include professional clearance, proposals, engagement letters, AML checks, risk assessments, and requests for HMRC agent authorisation codes. A client portal supports secure document sharing, e-signatures, and form submissions, and can be branded to match a practice website. Reporting covers productivity, aged work in progress, task efficiency, and client profitability; time tracking separates chargeable and non-chargeable work. Integrations include Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage, Companies House, Ireland’s CRO, and several Bright products. Bright says its applications are hosted in certified public cloud data centres in European regions, with specified encryption for data in transit and at rest. The web-based service has paid plans from £42.63/user/mo and a 30-day trial; there is no free plan. Some plans require single-user contracts of 12 or 24 months.
