What you can do

Review the figures and the company behind them

iXBRL accounts contain digital tags that identify figures and disclosures. Graffiti makes those tags visible and uses the data to help you analyse the accounts. You can also bring in Companies House records while keeping the original accounts open.

Ask

Ask AI about the accounts

Ask a question in plain English, such as “What could explain the change in turnover over the last 10 years and how does it compare to peers in the industry?”

  • Use AI to explain ratios, figures and disclosures, with source references to help you check the answer
  • On paid plans, enable Full text to include relevant passages from notes and accounting policies, and use web search for wider context
  • Ask follow-up questions to explore an answer in more detail

Understand the tags

Select a tagged figure to see its accounting meaning, reporting period and unit. Check details such as whether it relates to the company or the group, where these are tagged.

  • Inspect tag definitions and check whether amounts are reported in pounds, thousands or millions
  • Navigate the contents, linked footnotes and calculation relationships
  • Explore standard and company-specific tags, plus additional figures Graffiti can extract from some untagged tables
Compare

Explore the company

Use Companies House records to review the company alongside its accounts. Search and filings are free; other company analysis has time-limited free access. Paid and Demo licences provide full access. See plan details.

  • Review financial trends and ratios across available years
  • See directors, persons with significant control and their connections to other companies
  • Compare up to four sets of accounts, including the one you have open
Review

Check and export

Check the filing for potential issues, record your observations and export the data for further work.

  • Run checks on iXBRL tagging, calculations and applicable filing rules; some checks need the filing’s taxonomy files to load
  • Review ratios, year-on-year movements, balance sheet discrepancies and unusual number patterns
  • Search and filter extracted data, with links to its location in the accounts where available
  • Export to Excel (XLSX), CSV or xBRL-JSON, and save notes in your browser

How it works

Start with a Companies House filing

Browse and open accounts available in iXBRL for free, with no installation or account required. iXBRL is the digital format Graffiti analyses; PDF-only accounts cannot be analysed in the viewer.

1

Find a company

Search Companies House by company name or number, or paste a link to an iXBRL filing.

2

Open its accounts

Choose an iXBRL accounts filing. Graffiti opens it in your browser with the tagged figures highlighted and the analysis tools ready to use.

3

Review and analyse

Inspect the figures, ask AI a question, compare results or export data while referring to the original accounts.

Sign in to keep saved companies, filings and recent history across devices; guest saves stay in this browser. A paid or Demo licence also includes a bookmarklet: a shortcut saved in your browser’s bookmarks bar that opens Graffiti on an iXBRL web page. It also lets you open local iXBRL files and supported report packages. See plans.

Check the source

Keep the original accounts in view

Check a figure in the accounts as you work through the analysis.

Click a highlighted figure to inspect its tag, period and reporting scale. Use source references in AI answers to review the supporting figures and disclosures. The accounts remain on screen so you can check the evidence and form your own judgement.

Your data

What stays in your browser, and what is shared

Graffiti reads local files in your browser; opening one does not upload the original file. When you use AI, your question and extracted content from the accounts are sent through Graffiti’s service to OpenAI. Companies House features retrieve public records, and signing in syncs your saved companies, filings and recent history. Your notes stay in this browser and are excluded from AI requests. Only use online features with information you have permission to share. Read our privacy policy for details.
