Who we work with

Specialist support for the accounting profession

PPCS works exclusively with firms that handle sensitive financial and personal data — where trust, confidentiality and defensible governance aren’t optional extras.

Accounting practices

From sole practitioners to 100+ partner firms across the UK.

Bookkeepers

Practical governance that fits smaller teams and client-first workflows.

Payroll bureaux

Protect employee data, HMRC credentials and the workflows that move salaries.

Audit firms

Independent assurance and standards-aligned controls your regulators recognise.

What we do

Two practice areas. One commercial approach.

Cyber Security and AI Governance are becoming the two questions every accountant is asked — by clients, insurers, and regulators. PPCS covers both, delivered as a single, joined-up programme.

Cyber Security

Protect client data, meet insurer expectations, and demonstrate a defensible security posture.

Cyber Essentials CE Plus ISO 27001

AI Governance

Show clients, insurers and regulators that your firm’s use of AI is safe, documented and defensible.

AIGAS Standard ISO 42001
How we work

Governance that stands up to scrutiny — and gets used

Good governance should be strong enough to hold up under audit, but practical enough that your team actually adopts it. That balance sits at the centre of everything we do.

01

Practical

Delivered around how firms actually operate — client deadlines, busy season, small teams. No generic templates, no unnecessary overhead.

02

Proportionate

Controls sized to your firm, not to a Big-4 audit team. The right level of documentation for your maturity — no more, no less.

03

Defensible

Aligned to recognised standards (Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, AIGAS, ISO 42001) so evidence holds up with clients, insurers and regulators.

Your certification pathway

Start where you are. Grow at your own pace.

Every firm is at a different point. These are the two ladders we help you climb — one step at a time, with real work delivered at each stage.

The AIGAS Standard
Featured

We wrote the AI governance standard for accountants.
We can help you meet it.

AIGAS is the first practical AI governance framework built specifically for accounting, bookkeeping and payroll firms — the sector-specific bridge between everyday AI use and ISO 42001. PPCS is a founding delivery partner.

Why accounting firms choose PPCS

Sector-specialist. Standards-aligned. Commercially grounded.

There are plenty of generalist cyber consultants and plenty of AI hype merchants. We are neither.

Built for accountants, not adapted

Every framework, template and control is written for accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and audit workflows.

Recognised standards, in plain English

Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, AIGAS and ISO 42001 — translated into work your team can actually do.

Real return on the investment

Governance that helps you win larger clients, satisfy insurers, and reduce breach risk — not just paperwork.

Founder-led, sector-experienced

25+ years in accounting software and technology. You deal with practitioners, not junior consultants.

“Accounting firms don’t need more theory. They need a framework strong enough to stand up to scrutiny, and practical enough that their team will actually use it. That’s what we build.”
