Uku finds the 15–30% of revenue your Directo invoice can't see.
I'd been looking for a practice management solution for my accounting firm for years. Uku was the answer to our problems.

Directo holds the books. Uku runs the practice. Here's exactly what moves between them — and which way. No black boxes.
Every Directo customer imports into Uku — name, registry code, VAT number, address and the primary contact, matched by customer code. Need a client the other way? One click and Uku creates it in Directo.
Review and approve in Uku; the invoice lands in Directo — line items, the resource (salesman) code and the payment term. Switch on auto-confirm and Directo confirms it for you.
Pull your Directo article list — code and name — straight into Uku as billing templates.
VAT codes aren't imported automatically — set them up once in Uku.
When an invoice is paid in Directo, Uku fetches the status back automatically and closes the loop.
Read-only. You still collect payments in Directo.
Syncs on every invoice export · Re-sync your client list any time.
Order the XML Direct service from Directo. Get your XML Direct key from Personal → Employees → integration user.
Paste the XML Direct key in Uku. Select which clients to import — Uku links them by customer code.
Pick the services, set the rates. Uku starts collecting time for you.
Review, hit send. It lands in Directo — line items, VAT, payment terms. Missing customer? Uku creates it.
Paste your XML Direct key and select which clients to import. Uku links every customer by customer code — name, email, address, registry code, all in place.
Need to re-sync? Pull updated clients any time. Your practice and your books stay in lockstep — without anyone chasing it.
Build a contract once. Uku pulls in your team's tracked time, fixed fees, and volume entries — and drafts every invoice for you. The work that was lost in spreadsheets gets billed.
Mix time, fixed, volume, and item-based pricing in the same contract. Your Directo articles and VAT codes are already loaded — no double setup.
Review the draft, hit send. Uku pushes the invoice into Directo — line items, VAT codes, payment terms, seller code. All of it.
Customer doesn't exist in Directo yet? Uku creates it automatically. No double entry. No reconciliation. No spreadsheets in the middle.
Directo knows which invoices are paid. Uku knows the rest. So Uku sends the reminders — politely, on a schedule you set.
Set up two reminders or five. Different templates for 2, 7, and 14 days overdue. Your team stops chasing money and goes back to actual work.
On schedule
Set your own schedule, write your own emails, change the tone any time. Uku runs it. Your team doesn't touch it.
1 year with Uku and we can serve 38% more clients. Couldn't imagine life without Uku.
Uku is simple and intuitive and covers anything we might need from a work management system — from tracking time and managing tasks to billing. It has increased efficiency and visibility throughout our team.
I'd been looking for a practice management solution for my accounting firm for years. Uku was the answer to our problems.
Uku's team is very helpful in coming up with solutions. In our company, Uku has brought the client closer to accountant while giving both the accountant and management an overview of how much time is spent on what kind of work or communication.
Every question we hear about the Directo integration — and the answer is always the same.
Order the XML Direct service from Directo, then paste your XML Direct key into Uku Settings & Apps. Your client list, articles, and VAT codes start flowing immediately.
One-way: Directo → Uku. Customers are linked by customer code. We deliberately don't push client edits back — your books stay the single source of truth.
From Directo → Uku: customers, articles, VAT codes, payment status. From Uku → Directo: invoices, line items, VAT codes, payment terms, seller code. The "What syncs" section above shows the full picture.
Uku creates the customer in Directo automatically when you send the first invoice for that client. No manual setup needed.
Subscribing to XML Direct and connecting to Uku takes under an hour. Mapping your services to Uku contracts takes 30–60 minutes depending on how many you have. Our onboarding team will sit on a call with you and do most of it.
No. Nothing leaves Uku until you hit send. There's no background sync running in the dark. You stay in control of every invoice that lands in Directo.
