FibreCRM Launches Braid to help UK accountancy firms complete client risk assessments in a matter of minutes.
London, Sept 1st, 2026
Braid is a new client risk assessment platform designed by accounting technology veterans, FibreCRM, addressing the time, inconsistency, and compliance challenges associated with manual processes.
Across the sector, many firms still rely on manually gathering data, assessing risk, and documenting findings – often taking 20 to 30 minutes per client. As regulatory expectations continue to increase under MLR 2017, these workflows are becoming difficult to scale and harder to defend during audits.
Braid replaces this with a deterministic, structured system that produces fully documented, audit-ready client risk assessments in approximately 90 seconds. The platform integrates live regulatory data sources, including Companies House, sanctions lists, and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases, to deliver consistent, verifiable outputs for every client.
Simon Leek, CEO commented:
“Firms aren’t struggling with risk assessments because of regulation, they’re struggling because the process doesn’t scale. Manual workflows introduce inconsistency, and inconsistency creates risk.
Braid standardises the process so firms can reliably produce defensible assessments every time at scale, without increasing workload.”
Key features of Braid include structured 13-section reports, live data integrations, repeatable workflows, and seamless integration with FibreCRM systems.
