What is the best AML software for UK accountants?
The best AML software for a UK accounting practice should support client risk assessment, identity verification, beneficial ownership evidence, CDD, PEP and sanctions screening, ongoing monitoring, and exportable records. Certivus is built for these day-to-day accountancy workflows, with pricing and onboarding designed for small and growing practices.
- Use it to reduce document chasing and standardise AML checks
- Keep evidence for HMRC reviews in one practice workflow

Professional bodies that supervise their members' practices under MLR 2017.

Who uses it
Built inside a working UK accountancy practice, and used by it every day.
“Certivus replaced our spreadsheet-and-folder AML workflow with a single system. Evidence is consistent across the team and the audit trail is ready when HMRC ask.”
“Onboarding new clients is faster and our compliance evidence is consistent across the team. That's the win — we trust the records.”
“Certivus is built for how a UK practice actually runs AML — not how a generic compliance tool thinks it should. That difference shows.”
Questions
What AML checks do accountants need to evidence?
Most UK accountancy practices need to evidence firm-wide and client-level risk assessment, customer due diligence, identity verification, beneficial ownership checks where relevant, ongoing monitoring, PEP and sanctions checks, staff training, and record keeping.
Can AML software replace a compliance officer?
No. Software can help teams collect evidence, standardise workflows, and keep records, but the practice remains responsible for its AML policies, risk decisions, escalation routes, and suspicious activity reporting.
How does Certivus help with HMRC inspections?
Certivus helps organise verification evidence, screening results, risk decisions, timestamps, and exportable records so the practice can respond faster when HMRC asks for AML evidence.
