About 4th Sight

Founded by finance and recruitment experts who understand the work behind the numbers.

4th Sight is built by a team with extensive recruitment, finance, data and automation expertise. We are chartered accountants who understand the pressure finance teams face when critical processes depend on fragmented systems, spreadsheets and manual controls.

Our focus is practical: connect the data, automate the process, improve the controls and help finance teams gain insight using tools they can adopt and trust.

Why this matters

Recruitment finance is complex. The right solution needs more than technical delivery — it needs people who understand the finance logic, operating model and commercial context.

01

Recruitment sector expertise

We understand the complexity of recruitment finance: assignments, timesheets, payroll, invoicing, margin, commissions and cash.

02

Chartered accountants

4th Sight is founded by finance professionals who understand controls, month-end pressure, reporting and business accountability.

03

Process automation specialists

We help turn manual finance processes into repeatable workflows that can be shared, scheduled and governed.

04

Data and integration experience

We connect data across systems using APIs, databases, files and cloud platforms to create a trusted operating layer.

Our difference

Finance-led automation, not technology for its own sake.

We start with the process: what finance is trying to control, calculate, reconcile, report or explain. Then we design the data foundation, no-code workflow, AI step or insight layer around that business outcome.

We understand the finance process, not just the technology.
We know where the manual work and spreadsheet risk sits.
We design around accountants and finance knowledge workers.
We combine data foundation, automation, insight and embedded AI.
We focus on practical adoption, not theoretical transformation.
We build governed workflows that can scale beyond one person’s spreadsheet.

Talk to people who understand both finance and automation.

Whether the problem is commissions, timesheets, reconciliations, commentary, reporting or internal controls, we can help map the process and identify where 4th Sight can create value.
