HSB & Partners, a Franco-Senegalese accounting firm operating between Paris and Ngaparou (Senegal), came to us with a bold vision: use AI to transform how accounting firms operate—not replace accountants, but amplify their expertise.

The problems they faced mirrored the industry:

Manual bottlenecks: Document chasing, data entry, repetitive validations consuming 60-70% of accountant time

Client friction: Clients had zero visibility into processing status ("Is my tax filing done?")

Software sprawl: Sage, Cegid, QuadraExpert—multiple systems, no integration

Competitive pressure: Younger firms offering faster turnarounds with offshore teams

The brief: Build an AI-powered platform that automates repetitive workflows while keeping accountants in control—and give clients real-time transparency they've never had.

Diakitech led architecture, full-stack development, AI agent orchestration, accounting software integration, and compliance-driven security design.

Shadowed HSB accountants to map document-to-entry workflows

Identified automation opportunities (70% of tasks are pattern-based)

Defined human-AI handoff points (where validation is mandatory)

Built autonomous agents for document processing and entry generation

Engineered validation layers (agents propose, accountants approve)

Created intelligent reminders and follow-up systems

Built middleware connecting Sage, Cegid, QuadraExpert, ACD

Designed bidirectional data sync (platform ↔ accounting software)

Preserved auditability and compliance (GDPR, French/OHADA standards)

Real-time processing dashboards for transparency

Financial analysis and cash-flow insights

Automated reporting with custom visualization

AI Agents that generate validated accounting entries from documents

Document Intelligence with OCR extraction, classification, and routing

Smart Workflows managing reminders, deadlines, and follow-ups

Real-Time Dashboard tracking processing status and anomalies

Multi-Software Integration syncing Sage, Cegid, QuadraExpert seamlessly

Live Processing Status showing exactly where their documents are

Financial Analysis with trends, cash-flow projections, and custom insights

Automated Reporting delivering insights without manual requests

Direct Messaging with accountants for questions and clarifications

Predictive analytics for planning and compliance deadlines

Anomaly detection flagging unusual transactions

Compliance monitoring aligned with French and OHADA standards

Certification management with verifiable audit trails

HSB now operates at the forefront of AI-powered accounting—where autonomous agents handle repetitive work while accountants focus on advisory and oversight.

Workflow efficiency: AI handles document processing and entry generation, freeing accountants for strategic work

Client experience: Real-time visibility replaces "black box" processing

Multi-jurisdiction operation: Seamless coordination between Paris and Senegal offices

Competitive edge: Modern platform positioning HSB as innovation leader

AI generates entries (not just extracts data)—then accountants validate

Middleware architecture preserves existing software investments

Built for compliance first (GDPR, audit trails, role-based access)

Real-time transparency clients have never had before

Technical foundation: Next.js 14 + TypeScript, Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + Realtime), Python AI services with LangChain, Claude Sonnet 4 + GPT-4 agents, OCR with French accounting models, REST APIs for Sage/Cegid/QuadraExpert integration. AES-256 encryption, JWT auth, granular RLS security.

We built an intelligent middleware that cleanly separates AI orchestration from accounting-software integration. This keeps HSB in control, preserves compliance, and allows automation to scale safely—modernizing the firm without disrupting trusted tools.

The result is a platform where AI amplifies human expertise instead of replacing it—enabling HSB to deliver faster, more transparent service while maintaining professional standards.
