Private AI for accounting and tax

Get client documents organized before your CPAs waste billable time on data entry.

We build private, auditable workflows that organize tax documents, extract receipt and statement data, flag missing information, and prepare structured work for professional review.

Pain points

Clients send documents in every format

Staff spend too much time normalizing W-2s, K-1s, 1099s, receipts, and statements before real review begins.

Missing info appears too late

Client back-and-forth piles up when missing forms and mismatched records are discovered deep into the engagement.

Client financial data is sensitive

Tax and accounting firms cannot treat public AI tools as a dumping ground for client financial records.

Industry evidence we build around

Client documents create volume

Industry document automation research points to engagement letters, audit workpapers, financial statements, tax returns, onboarding packages, schedules, applications, questionnaires, and KYC packs.

Manual review limits scale

Professional-services and financial-document automation research frames manual review and data entry as a scaling bottleneck, which is the same tax-season pressure firms feel with client uploads and statements.

Tables and source grounding matter

Industry document automation research highlights dense multi-page tables, handwriting, stamps, signatures, and traceable field extraction, all relevant to statements, receipts, and reviewer packets.

Top 5 use cases

Tax document intake assistant

Extracts key data from W-2s, K-1s, 1099s, and receipts so there is less prep work.

Bank statement converter

Turns bank and credit card PDFs into structured files for faster reconciliation.

Missing-info auditor

Compares this year's submission to prior-year files to reduce client back-and-forth.

Audit workpaper support

Extracts and reconciles client-supplied balances, statements, schedules, and source documents for reviewer-ready workpapers.

Client follow-up drafts

Drafts precise client requests for missing forms, unclear deposits, or documentation gaps.

Before and after

Before

Staff sort mixed client uploads, rename files, compare prior-year context, chase missing forms, and normalize statement data by hand.

After

The workflow organizes documents, extracts key fields, flags gaps, prepares follow-up drafts, and packages work for professional review.

Privacy and auditability

Private data boundaries

Private workflows can use hosted private-cloud inference, dedicated cloud or VPC deployment, or local/on-prem inference when client financial data cannot leave your environment.

Predictable AI costs

Avoid billing surprises with clear workflow-based packages. We do not penalize you for using more AI like other vendors.

Preserve your operating know-how

Every result can include source files, extracted fields, reviewer approval, client follow-up status, and write-back history.

30-day pilot

1. Pick one repeatable workflow

We choose one intake, statement conversion, or missing-info process with clear tax-season impact.

2. Build with proof and approvals

We configure extraction, source evidence, reviewer queues, and client-data boundaries.

3. Measure the decision

You see prep time saved, missing-info reduction, reviewer quality, and the next workflow roadmap.
