I'm James Harvey, an 18-year-old AI engineer from Birmingham. I'm here to lead my generation in building the financial systems of the future.
For the last two years I've built AI automation, agents and operations systems for UK businesses. Now I focus on one kind of firm: accounting practices, because they keep the UK's businesses running and deserve systems built for the next decade, not the last one. Before I build anything for yours, I want to understand it. So every practice starts with a fifteen-minute conversation: how you run your firm, what's in the way, and where you want to take it.
James Harvey, founder of Full House
The idea
Three shifts define the practice of the future. Built on AI. Run by your people.
Work that moves itself.
01
Records come in without a single "just chasing up" email
Every upload checked the moment it lands, so no missing bank statement turns up mid-job
One view of every client holding up every deadline, weeks before the 31st
Jobs move themselves from records to review inside the software you already use, so January feels like June
Three systems. One practice that runs itself. Each one built inside the software you already use.
Draft v0.1: being shaped with the practices I'm talking to.
How it fits
Plugs into the way you already work.
No new software for your team to learn. Full House connects the tools you already pay for and keeps the work moving between them, quietly, in the background.

Add-on
Hiring
Every applicant answered, screening questions sent and interviews booked into your calendar. A person makes every hiring decision.
Coming later
Around the ledger
Documents captured without re-handling, review queues and first drafts of management reports, all ready for an accountant to check.
How we'd work together
Results in weeks, not months. Fixed price, no surprises.
We start with the one system that saves you the most time, get it live fast, and only build the next one once the first is paying for itself.
011 to 2 weeks
Review
We find where your hours really go and what your software already does that nobody has switched on. You get a ranked plan showing the quickest win first. The Review fee comes off your Sprint if you go ahead.
0230 days
Build Sprint
One system, live inside the tools you already pay for, so there are no new licences and nothing for your team to relearn. Fixed price, agreed up front. Live in 30 days, or we keep working at no extra cost until it is.
03Monthly
Run & Improve
We keep it running, measure it against your starting numbers and add one improvement every month. No long contract: stay because it's working, not because you're tied in.
04When you're ready
Full House
All three systems working together, added one at a time, only when the last one has proved itself. You own everything we build, from day one.

Your data
Your clients trust you with everything. Nothing here changes that.
Your data stays yours
Everything runs inside your own accounts and software. Client data never sits in my systems.
A person approves everything
Nothing reaches a client without someone at your practice saying yes.
No HMRC logins, ever
I never ask for or hold HMRC credentials or your clients' tax records.
A data processing agreement
Every practice gets one, covering UK GDPR, before anything is built.
Built around your duties
Confidentiality and anti-money-laundering checks stay with your team, with a clear record of who approved what.
You can switch it off
It's built in your accounts, so you own it, can see it and can turn it off at any time.
