Document Intake Automation for CPA Firms

Document intake automation for CPA firms streamlines the entire client document lifecycle, from secure upload to final routing. It leverages AI to automatically classify tax documents, financial statements, and other client files, then routes them to the correct client folder or engagement for your team.

The Problem: What CPA Firms Deal With Every Day

How It Works

01

Audit Your Current Workflow

We begin by understanding your specific document types, client portals, and existing document management systems like GoFileRoom or SharePoint. This ensures the automation is tailored to your firm's unique tax and audit workflows.

02

Design the Automation

Clients upload their tax slips, financial statements, and other supporting documents through a secure, branded portal or email. Our AI automatically identifies and extracts key data, classifying each file (e.g., W-2, K-1, bank statement).

03

Build, Test, and Launch

The classified documents are then automatically routed to the correct client folder, engagement type (e.g., 1040 individual, 1120 corporate), and assigned to the relevant team member within your practice management software, ready for review.

Expected Outcome

20+ hours saved per week on document handling
