Ignition

Automates proposals, billing, and client workflows

Overview

Ignition is a business management platform that helps companies handle client engagement, billing, and payments in one place. It streamlines tasks like creating proposals, signing documents online, and automating client communications so businesses get paid without chasing clients. Proposals can be generated and signed in minutes, and once a proposal is signed, payments are processed automatically. Ignition also lets users connect their favorite apps to automate workflows that run as soon as a proposal is signed. The platform provides clear visibility into the sales pipeline, upcoming client renewals, and forecasted revenue, helping businesses make faster, more confident decisions. Revenue comes from subscription fees for access to the platform. The result for users is significant time savings and the ability to grow their business more efficiently.

Ignition and Digits partner to power the AI-forward accounting firm. New integration connects AI-powered revenue workflows with the first AI-native ledger, helping firms make smarter pricing, billing, and growth decisions. AI will have the biggest impact in accounting when it helps make better decisions. With Digits, Australian News Journal is connecting AI-powered workflows to the first AI-native ledger so firms can act on better data." - Greg Strickland, CEO of Ignition SAN FRANCSICO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 15, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Ignition and Digits announced a new partnership and integration today at Scaling New Heights, designed to connect AI-powered revenue workflows with the first AI-native general ledger, aiming to help accounting firms make faster and more informed pricing and billing decisions. This partnership reflects a broader shift in the accounting technology landscape: from disconnected tools to an intelligent, connected stack. Together, Ignition and Digits represent a new model in which AI is embedded across both revenue workflows and the ledger, helping firms operate with greater clarity and confidence. At launch, the integration simplifies key workflows between the two platforms, including billing-related data flow, client and invoice synchronization, and improved visibility into future-dated transactions, while reducing manual accounting setup. The partnership also lays the foundation for future AI-driven capabilities such as scope-creep detection, profitability insights, and pricing optimization. "AI will have the biggest impact in accounting when it helps firms make better decisions, not just automate more tasks," said Greg Strickland, CEO of Ignition. "With Digits, we're connecting AI-powered revenue workflows to the first AI-native ledger so firms can act on better data - identifying opportunities, improving pricing, while staying in control of how work is delivered and billed." Digits reimagined the general ledger with AI embedded at its core, automating routine accounting work while surfacing what requires human judgment. Combined with Ignition's leadership in proposals, billing, payments, and pricing intelligence, the integration gives firms a modern, connected system designed for scale. "Digits is rethinking the general ledger as an intelligent system of record that automates the tedious parts of accounting," said Jeff Seibert, Founder and CEO of Digits. "By integrating with Ignition, we're connecting how firms sell and bill work with how that revenue is captured and understood in the ledger - creating a more complete, AI-powered financial system." The partnership is already resonating with firms using both platforms. "For a professional services firm, Ignition and Digits are a strong fit together," said Joshua Chapel, Founder & CEO of Mana Accounting & Advisory. "Ignition simplifies proposals, approvals, and payments, while Digits gives us clear visibility into the numbers. That combination is valuable not only for our firm, but for the clients we support as well."

Ignition launches open AI ecosystem connecting accounting firms with Claude and ChatGPT

Ignition, a revenue and billing automation platform, has announced new AI-powered capabilities at AICPA ENGAGE 2026, embracing an open ecosystem approach rather than a siloed platform model. The company allows accounting firms to work through native AI features, partner integrations, or AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. The platform's Model Context Protocol enables firms to accomplish tasks multiple ways, such as converting client meeting transcripts into proposals through various channels. Ignition pairs this with AI-powered Price Insights to help firms make informed pricing decisions. Founded in 2013, Ignition serves 8,500 businesses managing relationships with over 2.4 million clients, processing $13 billion in revenue through its platform. CEO Greg Strickland emphasised that firms should choose their preferred tools whilst maintaining seamless integration across their technology stack.

Ignition says the future of AI isn't another siloed platform. It's an open ecosystem.

Ignition says the future of AI isn't another siloed platform. It's an open ecosystem. New capabilities let firms work the way they want, through native AI, partner integrations, or AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT The future isn't one platform doing everything. It's connected systems that work together intelligently. Firms should be able to choose the tools they love and still get a seamless experience." - Greg Strickland, CEO of Ignition. SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 8, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Today at AICPA ENGAGE 2026, Ignition announced new AI-powered capabilities and ecosystem investments designed around a simple belief: accounting firms should be able to work the way they want, using the tools they choose. As AI reshapes the accounting technology landscape, Ignition is taking an open ecosystem approach that connects firms, partners, and AI tools rather than asking firms to operate inside a single platform. "Firms don't run on one piece of software," said Greg Strickland, CEO of Ignition. "They run on a connected stack of tools. Our job is to make that stack work better together and give firms the flexibility to work however they want. We don't believe walled gardens serve firms well in the AI era because they limit choice, create more silos, and make it harder for firms to benefit from innovation happening across the broader ecosystem." That flexibility is becoming increasingly important as firms adopt AI. Some firms want AI embedded directly into their workflow. Others want to use specialized applications. Increasingly, firms want to work through AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT. Ignition supports all three. Work the way you want to work: Ignition's open ecosystem gives firms multiple ways to accomplish the same outcome. Firms can: 1. Use AI-powered capabilities directly within Ignition 2. Connect specialized applications and workflows through partner integrations and APIs 3. Access Ignition through AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT using Ignition's Model Context Protocol (MCP) 4. Rather than forcing firms into a single workflow, Ignition allows firms to choose the experience that best fits how they operate. "The future isn't one platform doing everything," said Strickland. "It's connected systems that work together intelligently. Firms should be able to choose the tools they love and still get a seamless experience." This approach extends across Ignition's growing ecosystem of technology partners spanning bookkeeping, general ledger, workflow, voice capture, payroll, financial operations, and AI-powered applications. Turning client conversations into revenue: One example demonstrates the power of an open ecosystem. Today, one of the biggest sources of lost revenue in an accounting firm is the time between a client discovery call and sending a proposal. Notes get buried. Follow-up gets delayed. Opportunities cool off. Now, firms can take a client meeting recording, transcript, email exchange, or notes and turn them into a proposal in multiple ways: 1. Through AI-powered proposal creation directly inside Ignition 2. Through connected partner applications 3. Through an AI assistant using Ignition's MCP The outcome is the same: less administrative work, faster response times, and a better chance of winning profitable engagements. "There's a reason people say time kills deals," said Tammy Hahn, SVP Product at Ignition. "Now, firms can take a meeting transcript and turn it into a proposal immediately. AI provides the starting point. The accountant stays in control." Ignition pairs proposal creation with its AI-powered Price Insights, introduced at AICPA ENGAGE last year, helping firms not only move faster but make more informed pricing decisions to ensure the work is profitable. Real workflows, already in production: Customers are already using Ignition's open ecosystem approach to automate work across proposal management, pricing analysis, client communications, and reporting. "The MCP is one of the biggest and coolest features Ignition has dropped. I asked Claude to roll a client's proposal forward, apply an increase, and draft a client email, all in minutes without opening Ignition." - Ben Walker, Founder, Inspire CA "Ignition's MCP with Claude made it easy to pull billing averages and product data that would have otherwise taken manual work. We're now turning this into a repeatable monthly model to run pricing audits automatically." - Devin Day, VP Sales & CX, Club Capital Building the plumbing for connected firms: Ignition's MCP acts as a bridge between Ignition and AI assistants, making it easier for firms to access data and perform actions without switching between systems. Strickland compares it to the infrastructure underneath a home. "Think of it like the plumbing under a house. You don't see it, but it's what makes everything work. The tools and AI assistants are the fixtures. The accountant is still the one in control. What we've built is the infrastructure that helps connect everything together." As firms continue adopting AI, Ignition believes the winners won't be the platforms that try to own every workflow. They'll be the platforms that make the entire ecosystem work better. A more practical vision of AI: "We're not trying to be the loudest voice in AI," said Strickland. "We're trying to be the most useful. If it doesn't help a firm run better, it doesn't matter."
