§ 0For accounting & CPA firms

Stop chasing clients for documents and start every engagement clean.

Tax season runs on chasing: missing documents, half-answered emails, and deadlines tracked in someone’s head. A supervised AI Team can collect, organize, and chase, so your staff review complete files instead of assembling them.

01
§ 1The hidden pain

Today, a person is the glue between every system.

The real work of your firm scatters across inboxes, files, and systems that never agree. Someone holds it together by hand, copying, chasing, and retyping, instead of doing the work you bill for.

  1. Client onboarding
  2. Document collection
  3. Engagement letters
  4. Deadline tracking
  5. Status chasing
  6. Review notes

§ 2The managed role

Every sensitive action stops at a human. AI prepares the work. Your professionals decide. Edit rate is the share of AI-prepared work your reviewers change before approving.
§ 3Where AI belongs

Safety draws the line.

  • Requesting and tracking the documents each engagement needs
  • Drafting engagement letters and onboarding clients
  • Turning client emails and files into a structured engagement record
  • Flagging missing items before a deadline becomes a fire

§ 3.1Where it does not

These stay human. The AI Team never crosses them, no matter how routine the request looks.

  • Signing returns, opinions, or financial statements
  • Giving tax or audit judgment
  • Filing anything without preparer review

Every engagement starts with documents in hand and deadlines tracked, so staff stop chasing and start reviewing.
