For UK independent financial advisers
You became an adviser to advise. We find exactly where you’re losing time, and the fastest way to get it back.
Sound familiar?
The same work, client after client
Re-keying details between systems. Drafting the same emails. Pulling together the same review packs. The repetitive layer underneath the actual advice.
Chasing providers for the basics
Before you can advise on a transfer, you need the details, and that means letters of authority and time on the phone to providers. Slow, manual, and it stacks up with every new client.
Too many tools, no clear answer
A new AI tool launches every week, each promising to save you time. Knowing which ones are actually worth it is a job in itself.
Growth usually means hiring
The default way to take on more clients is more staff. There’s another route: more capacity from the practice you already have.
How it works
Clarity
We map how your practice runs and identify exactly which tasks are eating your time. No guesswork, just a clear picture of where the hours go and what they’re costing you.

Strategy
We match what we find to the right fix, whether that’s an existing tool, a custom build, or both. Independent, never tied to a vendor.
Results
Every recommendation comes with an ROI calculation. You will know exactly how many hours you stand to reclaim and what that is worth to your practice each month.
Most consultants hand you a list of tools and leave you to figure it out. No follow-through. No accountability for results. Just a document that gathers dust while your evenings stay full.
The process
Step 01 - Understand
A focused 60-minute session where we map your working week: every repeated task, every manual workaround, every process that runs on habit rather than efficiency. You’ll see your own business in a new light.
Step 02 - Recommend
Not a list of AI tools to research yourself. We identify the specific automations that fit how your practice operates, calculate the time and money each one saves, and present everything in plain English.
Step 03 - Deliver
Your audit report is delivered within a week: three to five prioritised recommendations, an ROI projection for each, and an implementation roadmap. Want us to build it for you? That’s the next step.
Proof of method
Autodite is new to financial advice, so this example comes from another field. It was an audit for a solo business owner. The sector is different, but the method, and the kind of result it produces, carries straight over to financial advice.

The challenge
A freelance social media manager was spending around 48 hours a month on repetitive, manual work, before even factoring in client communications and chasing new enquiries. She’d heard about AI tools but had no clear picture of where to start, or whether the time investment would pay off.
The approach
An AI audit identified three high-impact areas where the time was going. Each came with the right tool, a setup plan, and the numbers attached. It is exactly the process a practice would go through.
The outcome
38 hours reclaimed every month. Nearly a full working week, returned every single month, to take on more clients or simply to stop working evenings.

workflows automated
The recommendations were easy to follow, with a clear roadmap. If I don’t implement this, it’s really just down to me.

About
David Arnost
I started Autodite because I’ve watched businesses lose enormous amounts of time to tasks that should never need a person to do them.
I spent over five years in Sales and Marketing at Nissan, Genesis, and Hyundai, working across customer services, sales operations, strategy, and product marketing. The systems were built for a different era. The work was often data-heavy: pulling from databases, building reports by hand, and assembling presentations that would be out of date before they were finished.
In Sales Operations, one recurring job refused to get easier. Every quarter, I built a full dealer review deck from scratch - pulling data, formatting tables, assembling it slide by slide. Fifteen hours of work, every single time. So I taught myself to automate it. The same job took ten minutes.
That wasn’t the end of it. A monthly report that had taken five hours started running in thirty minutes, and landed eleven days earlier than it used to. I’d gone from dreading certain weeks to barely noticing them.
The tools available today make what I figured out back then dramatically faster, more powerful, and accessible to any business without a dedicated technical team. I work exclusively with tools built to be understood by business people, not developers. I came to this as a business person myself, and that’s exactly the position I work from with every client: you do not need a technical background, and you don’t need to know where your time is going. Finding that out is the first thing we do together.
I’m not a financial adviser, and I won’t pretend to be. My job is your time and your systems, not the advice. But advice firms are full of exactly the kind of slow, manual, data-heavy work I’ve spent years turning into something that runs in minutes.
My approach is practical and jargon-free. I’m not here to impress you with technical language. I’m here to find you time.
