Your second firm should land faster than your first.

AI roll-up software is what a fund or operator uses to run the service firms it buys, with AI agents handling the routine work inside each one. You'll also see it spelled AI rollup. On Clawnify, each acquired firm gets its own workspace and its own agents, each on a dedicated server. The agents connect to the inbox, calendar and accounting package the firm already uses, and read its written procedures before they act. Holdco owners and admins can open any firm from the same account, and the fund keeps the firms, the workspaces and the data.

Funds buying them describe small accounting firms that often run at 5 to 10 percent profit, with work that repeats every month and every tax season. Thrive Capital, buying through its acquisition arm Current, is reported to have bought close to 50 firms in 24 months. At Larson Gross, a 200-person firm, one task reportedly fell from 180 hours a year to 15, and its accountants saved 31 percent of their time on average. All of these are the companies' own figures.

Integration, almost every time. Getting the AI to work inside one firm is the easy half. Each firm arrives with books kept its own way, steps that live only in the seller's memory, and clients who are loyal to one person. If every acquisition needs a fresh project, the tenth costs as much as the first and nothing compounds. Investors who've watched roll-ups fail point to churn, especially when the AI is used only to cut headcount. The test worth watching is simple: does the second firm go live faster than the first?

You don't need an AI lab to start. The agents run inside each firm's workspace, connected to the accounts the firm already has, and they can build internal apps for that firm too. Someone on your team still has to own the rollout, write down how each firm works and review what the agents draft. Archer Lewis Group, which reports 47 firms acquired and more than 50,000 clients, says the job takes management and operational expertise as well as AI capability.

Each firm is its own workspace under the holdco. Its data, connected accounts and credentials, apps, agents and company knowledge stay there and are never shared with a sibling firm. The firm's own staff see only their workspace. Holdco owners and admins get access through their holdco membership, so when someone leaves the holdco, their access to every firm ends at once. On paid tiers, each workspace can also keep its AI processing pinned to the EU or the US.

Every agent in every firm bills to the holdco's subscription, however many firms you add. Firm workspaces have no checkout of their own, so nobody at an acquired firm sets up payment or keeps a card on file. It runs on the multi-company plan. Book a call and we'll set it up around the first firm you're buying.

Investors following these deals disagree. One side argues that once every firm in a sector runs on AI, margins lifted from 10 to 30 percent EBITDA get competed back toward 10. The other says doing the automation well across dozens of messy firms is hard enough to be a moat in itself. Long Lake, which owns 18 property management companies, says its margins doubled in under two years, a company-reported figure. We'd only add this: the gain that lasts is the one that repeats at the next firm.

Yes to both. Clients keep reaching the firm by email, WhatsApp or phone, the same way they did before the deal. Messages to clients, payments and anything published can be held until the right person at the firm approves them. The agent never signs, files or certifies regulated work. In an accounting firm it gathers what the return needs, and a qualified accountant reviews it and puts their name to it.
