A new cohort starts every six weeks, and each one is kept small so every firm's Game Plan gets worked properly. Cohort one is twelve accounting and bookkeeping firms, starting together on Monday 11 January. Applications for January close on Friday 18 December 2026, or sooner if the places go.
The offer letter does the explaining. The calls are there to check the fit, not to pitch you.
A short form about your firm, your team, the workflow that hurts most, and what you want back from the year.
A short call to check the fit, take you through the investment and answer your questions. If we are not right for each other, we will say so.
If it looks right for both of us, a half-hour with Reuben on your firm and what you want to build first.
You get your Kick-Off invite and the Gameplan Focusser to bring on 11 January. One tool live in your firm by day thirty.
Takes about five minutes. Be honest about the constraint. It is the thing we will build against.
We are not looking for technical skill. We are looking for the conditions that let a firm actually finish.
Something in your firm that is repetitive, painful and worth fixing. Pain is the best specification.
You do not need to code, but you do need to get hands on. This is done with you, not for you.
You can connect Xero and your practice manager. Without real data there is no real tool.
The Monday calls plus three to four hours a week of building. If the next five weeks are chaos, take the February cohort instead.
Love it or Leave it. You commit to twelve months, but if after your first two months it is not giving you value, tell us in writing before your third payment and you are out. The first two months are not refunded: they are where the work gets done and your first tool goes live.
No. Applying is free. The short call with Millie is how we make sure the room stays the right fit for everyone in it.
We will offer you the next cohort. A new one starts every six weeks, and the next Kick-Off is Monday 22 February 2027.
Yes. You can bring one nominated builder, usually a 2IC or practice manager, into the Build Collab calls and the community.
