CPA & Accounting

AI operations for
accounting firms.

The base system, then built around you.

Everything below runs from month one. Then we build automations specific to your firm, one every month or two, chosen from the list on this page.

What is possible depends on the software you run. We find that out during setup, and we tell you straight which ones are easy, which take work, and which are not worth doing.

01

What you get, month one

This is the base. It gets configured to your business rather than invented for it, which is why it is running inside the first month.

Your Daily Assistant

One brief each morning covering your calendar, what needs a reply, what is overdue, and what is coming. Then it stays available all day. Ask it what is on your plate, have it draft something, have it check a detail. It knows your business, your clients and how you write.See it running →

Inbox Triage & Drafted Replies

Every incoming message sorted by who it is from, what it concerns and how urgent it is, with a reply already drafted in your voice. You review and send.

Email Labeling & Cleanup

Messages filed automatically to the right client, deal or project, and the noise cleared out on a schedule. What stays in the inbox is what genuinely needs you.See it running →

LinkedIn Inbox Triage

Connections researched, replies drafted in your voice, the queue actually worked instead of ignored for three weeks.See it running →

Calendar Management

Scheduling, follow-up windows, and deadline cycles handled, with everything counted backward from the date that actually matters.

Meeting Follow-Up

Every call captured, summarized, and turned into action items and a follow-up draft before you have left the room.See it running →

Your Document Library

Up to eight custom templates for the documents you produce over and over, matched to your brand colors and formatting, drafting in seconds instead of hours. We build these around what you actually send.See it running →

Personalized Intelligence Brief

A recurring digest built around your specific business and interests. Real sources, real articles, filtered to what is actually relevant to you rather than a generic industry newsletter.

02

Then we build for your business

These are the automations that matter most in accounting. We would not build all of them. Tap any of them for the detail. We would start with whichever two or three match what actually eats your week, then keep going.

01

Referral Partner Prospecting

The referral network your growth depends on, built on purpose instead of by accident.

Lead genEvery firm
State bar directory, CPA society, FINRA BrokerCheckFilter by practice area and client profileSkip trace: direct email and cellScore for referral fitDraft the openerSend the sequenceInto your CRM with the source tagged

What it does

Pulls estate and business attorneys, wealth advisors, insurance agents and commercial bankers across your market, finds the people who actually send work, scores them for fit against the clients you want, and runs a sequence that opens the relationship. Each one arrives with a written opener referencing their actual practice.

What changes

Most firms grow entirely on referrals that arrive by luck. This makes the referral network something you build deliberately, on a schedule, rather than something that happens to you at networking events.

Why it matters

The fastest-growing firms in accounting spend 9.0% of revenue on marketing against roughly 5%, grow 33.4% against a 10% industry median, and rely on referrals 34% LESS than their peers. They did not stop getting referrals. They stopped waiting for them.
02

Client Acquisition Tracking

What does a client cost you? Almost nobody can answer that.

Lead genEvery firm
Every inquiry: web form, phone, email, referralSource tagged and first touch timestampedTracked through proposal to engagement letterCost allocated per channelLive cost per client, conversion and lifetime value

What it does

Every inquiry tracked from first contact through to a signed engagement letter, with the source attached and the time-to-response measured. It produces the numbers your firm has never had: what a client actually costs to win, which channels work, and what one is worth over the relationship.

What changes

There is no published benchmark for any of this anywhere in accounting. Not from the AICPA, not from Rosenberg, not from any government body. Anyone quoting you an industry average for cost per client is making it up. This gives you yours.

Why it matters

Typical client turnover runs about 10% a year, which implies roughly a ten-year relationship. At average revenue per client that is meaningful lifetime value walking out the door annually. Most firms have never calculated either number.
03

The Onboarding Machine

Signed to first deliverable, without the three-week gap.

Every firm
Engagement letter signed in your e-sign toolDocument request list by entity type and prior yearChased by email on an escalating cadenceCompleteness validated, portal provisionedFirst deliverable on the calendar

What it does

The document request list generated automatically based on entity type and prior year, chased on a schedule, checked for completeness rather than just receipt, systems and portal access provisioned, and the first deliverable put on the calendar.

What changes

Onboarding throughput is usually the real constraint on growth, not demand. And since most firms charge a separate onboarding fee, compressing the cycle converts directly into margin on work you already bill for.

Why it matters

80% of firms, and 91% of top performers, say they plan to improve onboarding. About 27% currently take two to three months from signature to first deliverable. It is the most widely acknowledged gap in the profession and one of the easiest to close.
04

Advisory Opportunity Radar

Which existing clients should be buying advisory work, ranked, with the pitch drafted.

Firms with or building advisory
QuickBooks or Xero ledger signals plus prior returnsScore advisory fit and trigger eventsDraft the specific pitch per clientRanked partner worklist

What it does

Scans your existing client base for the signals that indicate someone is ready for advisory work, ranks them, names the reason, and drafts the conversation. Growth, complexity, a transaction, a new entity, a pattern in their books.

What changes

We can run this against your actual client list during setup and hand you five named candidates with reasoning. That is a worklist a partner can act on the same afternoon, not a slide.

Why it matters

A return is a few hundred dollars. An advisory client runs closer to $17,900 a year. Converting even five clients is meaningful recurring revenue from people who already trust you.
05

Document Chase & Extension Triage

Move the extension decision from April 10th to February.

Every firmSeasonal
Engagement opened in Karbon, Canopy or TaxDomeExpected documents by entity and prior yearEscalating chase, client friendlyCompleteness scoredExtension flagged early, with the reason

What it does

Tracks what you are waiting on per client, chases it on an escalating but client-friendly cadence, and scores completeness so you can see which returns are actually workable. Then flags the extension decision while it is still a decision.

What changes

Extensions are not inherently bad. An extension decided in February is a plan. One decided on April 10th is a fire drill. Moving that call earlier flattens the season without anyone working faster.

Why it matters

About 12.6% of individual returns and 62% or more of business returns go on extension. How much of your cycle is spent waiting on client documents has no published benchmark anywhere. Yours would be the first real number.
06

Notices, Planning & Profitability

The three that quietly protect the relationship and the margin.

Every firm
IRS notice scanned or forwarded to a parser inboxClassify the notice, pull client historyDraft the response with the right citationsDeadline tracked through to resolution

What it does

IRS notices classified with client history pulled and a response drafted with the right citations and the deadline tracked. Year-end planning opportunities surfaced across the client base in November while they are still actionable. And client profitability scored after write-downs, so you can see which relationships actually make money.

What changes

None of these are glamorous and all three are universal. The notice engine is pure retention work. The planning trigger converts a compliance relationship into an advisory conversation at the exact moment it is useful. And most firms have never run the profitability numbers, which tends to be uncomfortable in a productive way.

How we figure out what to build

We do not need a paid discovery engagement to get started. Setting up your base system tells us what software you run and where your data actually lives, and from there we can tell you honestly which of the automations above are straightforward, which need work, and which are not possible with the systems you have. Anything larger than the normal build cadence gets quoted on its own, so you always know what you are buying.

04

How it starts

1  ·  A short call

Fifteen minutes. We look at what you do and whether any of this actually fits. If it does not, we will say so.

2  ·  A short questionnaire

What software you run, where your data lives, and what eats your week. Takes a few minutes and it is what lets us come back with something specific.

3  ·  The real conversation

An hour with both of us, where we show you exactly which automations we would build for your business and in what order over the next six months.

A few things worth knowing

You own the account and the data. The workspace is set up in your name, on your billing, from day one. If we ever part ways you remove our access and keep everything.

We will tell you what to buy instead. When something you describe is already solved well by a product you can subscribe to, we will name it and tell you to buy it rather than charge you to rebuild it.

We run our own company on this. The daily assistant, the document library, the inbox triage. All of it was built for our own deals first. You are not the pilot.
