Matthew Hill — Co-Founder
I joined BDO at 18. While my friends went to university, I went into the profession. By the time I reached PwC, I was on the fast track to Director. My grandfather ran a small practice. My parents met while training. I didn't stand a chance. I had the career safety my grandfather valued. But I had the same problems he did. Technology had changed. The grunt work hadn't. I spent my 20s watching brilliant colleagues burn out at 2 AM. They didn't leave because the work was hard. They left because they didn't study for years to be data processors. That's why I walked away from the partner track to build Ylookup. Tech has overpromised and underdelivered to this profession for years. New platforms. Multi-year change management. Users finding their way back to Microsoft. Professionals don't want general intelligence. They want tools that deliver repeatable results on highly specific tasks. So we built an agentic workflow engine purpose-made for audit, tax, and advisory. It automates the low-leverage work so your best people can do their best work. I'm not building this to disrupt the industry. I'm building it for the industry I grew up in. We're already working with partners at top 10 global accounting firms. This is only the beginning.
