Where time leaks

Where the hours go in accounting & bookkeeping firms

Patterns we see in this industry. Your workflow will differ; discovery confirms which ones apply.

01

Tax season is spent chasing missing W-2s, 1099s and receipts.

02

Month-end close is delayed by uncategorized transactions and missing receipts.

03

Engagement letters and organizers are sent and tracked manually.

04

Client questions arrive by email and get buried.

How we implement

Built around how work actually runs in accounting & bookkeeping firms

We start outside tax season with onboarding and inbox triage, so document chasing is tested and ready before deadlines.

Discovery call: We walk through your current process and tools (free, 30 minutes).

Workflow map & fixed quote: Written scope, software costs listed separately, compliance notes included.

Build in a test environment: Your accounts, test data first, then a supervised pilot.

Handover: Documentation, training and an optional support plan.

Limitations & compliance notes

  • Tax preparers must follow the FTC Safeguards Rule (GLBA) and maintain a written information security plan (IRS Publication 4557 guidance).
  • Taxpayer data shared with AI tools requires consent under IRC §7216 rules for certain uses. We design around this with your firm.
  • AI suggestions are reviewed by qualified staff; no automated tax advice.

General information, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with your own counsel or compliance officer.
