AML software built for control, efficiency and chargeable hours.
AML software for scaling accounting firms.
Core and effect
One platform, every tool
Client risk, identity and entity data is held centrally, creating a shared source of truth.
Configurable service-, jurisdiction- and risk-specific rules run over top, so different teams meet different AML obligations consistently - without duplicating checks or creating local variations.
Layer cake
Not-so-complex KYB
Entity and ownership structures are automatically built from global registry data. Simple clients stay simple. While complex structures are auto-mapped and trigger deeper checks based on type, jurisdiction and risk - without manual reconstruction or rule-by-rule interpretation

Client profiles
Individual and entity profiles persist beyond onboarding. Verified information is reused, refreshed and escalated as risk changes, supporting ongoing due diligence, event-based reviews and remediation cycles - while reducing repeat requests and preserving client goodwill.
"As a growing firm, we onboard clients frequently. First AML has taken away a lot of the AML admin. Our clients have benefited from the easy-to-use platform and we would definitely recommend First AML to streamline your onboarding process."
Hayden Sym, Partner, Oury Clarke
Millions of clients are verified faster through 1000s of companies with First AML.
"First AML was different, it offered a better solution because it expedites the checks through proven methodology, saving us time. That was more than a subtle difference - that was a big difference. And because we’re growing and needing to do more and more checks, it was worth investing in a solution like this."
Howard Ringrose, Partner and MLRO, BHP

Solutions, not sales pitches
We take a solution-led approach, configuring First AML around your risk framework, operating model and regulatory context.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have multiple offices and different teams (tax, audit, corporate finance). How do we enforce one AML standard without slowing people down?
First AML operationalises your AML program through configurable rules and requirements that apply automatically across offices, service lines and client engagements. Controls are enforced through workflow, not individual judgement, so your standards are applied consistently regardless of which team takes on the work or where the client relationship is managed.
Can First AML support different accounting service lines with different risk exposure?
Yes. First AML is designed for firms delivering a mix of services with very different risk profiles, from audit and tax through to corporate finance, restructuring and advisory. You can configure risk factors, thresholds and escalation logic by service line or engagement type, while maintaining a single firm-wide AML framework and central oversight.
How does First AML handle complex beneficial ownership and group structures in an audit-ready way?
First AML structures and automates ownership and control capture for layered groups, overseas entities and trust involvement so decisions are efficient, consistent and reviewable. Shareholdings and controllers are auto-calculated and evidence such as registry extracts, organisational charts, trust deeds and review notes stays linked to your beneficial ownership conclusion, with judgement recorded in context. This supports efficient and consistent processing, clear file narratives during supervisory sampling and internal quality reviews.
How does First AML support screening and ongoing monitoring in a way accounting supervisors expect?
First AML applies screening and ongoing monitoring based on your risk rules and trigger events. Screening activity, match fuzziness, approvals and decision history are logged with timestamps and rationale, so you can show how alerts were assessed and cleared. This provides evidence of effective alert handling across clients, beneficial owners, controllers and authorised signatories.
How does First AML give the MLRO meaningful oversight without creating friction for partners and client teams?
First AML embeds AML steps into client acceptance and engagement workflows, guiding teams to collect only what is required based on risk and service line. Compliance retains control over risk logic, escalation thresholds, approvals and overrides. Partners and frontline teams are not asked to interpret policy, they follow proportionate steps in the workflow.
How does First AML help balance compliance requirements with chargeable time pressures?
First AML reduces AML drag on chargeable hours by embedding proportionate, risk-based controls into client acceptance and assignment workflows. Automated follow-up cadences and centralised client communications reduce chasing and duplication across offices and service lines. Teams are guided to collect only what is required for the service and risk profile, with structured capture and reusable client information cutting repeat requests. Automated screening and clear escalation paths keep higher-risk decisions with compliance, not in partner inboxes..
