Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't deploy off-the-shelf tools that crumble under compliance scrutiny. Instead, we engineer custom AI automations precisely calibrated to your firm's pain points—like automating revenue recognition under ASC 606 or flagging anomalies in general ledger entries. Our approach starts with a deep audit of your existing systems, ensuring seamless integration with tools like Xero or Sage while adhering to AICPA standards. The result? A unified, owned platform that scales with your practice, eliminating the chaos of disconnected apps and delivering measurable efficiency gains from day one.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains That Drive Your Firm Forward
Slash Month-End Close Time by 50%
Slash Month-End Close Time by 50%: Imagine closing books in days, not weeks, even for complex multi-entity consolidations. Our AI automates bank reconciliations, intercompany eliminations, and variance checks under GAAP, saving teams an average of 20 hours per period—translating to $15,000+ in annual billable time recovery for a mid-sized firm, based on industry benchmarks from Deloitte's automation reports.
Boost Productivity with 300% ROI in Year One
Boost Productivity with 300% ROI in Year One: Manual tasks like invoice approvals for billable hours and SOX compliance filings drain resources. We replace them with intelligent automations that cut operational costs by 40%, enhance accuracy in tax provision calculations, and reduce audit findings by 75% as seen in PwC case studies—allowing partners to focus on high-value client strategies like M&A advisory.
Enhance Compliance and Reduce Risk Exposure
Enhance Compliance and Reduce Risk Exposure: In an era of tightening SEC and FINRA regulations, our systems proactively scan for GAAP/IFRS deviations, automate Sarbanes-Oxley audit trails, and flag potential FCPA violations. Firms report 60% fewer compliance hours for 10-Q filings, freeing up capacity for growth while minimizing penalties that average $50,000 per incident according to AICPA data.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent 15 hours weekly on manual bank reconciliations for client investment portfolios under ASC 606. Their custom automation integrated directly with our Sage Intacct system, cutting that to under 2 hours—plus, it caught a $10K deferred revenue discrepancy we would've missed during Q4 close. Month-ends are now predictable, not chaotic, saving us 100+ hours quarterly."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Forensic Accountant, Midwest Tax and Litigation Advisors
"We were buried in SOX 404 documentation for our 50-client base of hedge funds and law firms. AIQ built a tailored AI workflow that automates 80% of internal control checks and generates compliant reports on demand for PCAOB audits. In the first quarter, we saved 120 staff hours, aced our external audit without overtime, and avoided a potential $20K restatement penalty."
Michael Tran
CFO, Pinnacle Wealth Management Group
"Switching from multiple subscriptions to their unified AI platform was a game-changer for our international advisory practice. It handles revenue recognition under IFRS 15 and ASC 606 flawlessly across jurisdictions, reducing errors by 90% in contract billing and letting us take on 20% more M&A clients without adding headcount. The ROI hit in just four months, with billable hours up 25%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI ensure compliance with accounting standards like GAAP?
Compliance is non-negotiable in our builds. We embed rulesets directly into the AI models, trained on standards from FASB and IASB, to automate checks for revenue recognition, lease accounting, and more. For instance, our systems flag deviations in real-time during transaction processing, generating immutable audit logs that have helped clients pass external reviews with zero findings. Unlike generic tools, we customize these to your firm's specific policies, integrating with your existing controls for a layered defense. This approach has reduced compliance hours by 60% for our partners, per internal metrics, while maintaining SOC 2 Type II certification throughout.
What kind of time savings can an accounting firm expect from your automations?
Based on deployments with similar SMB firms, expect 20-30 hours saved weekly on repetitive tasks like reconciliations and report prep. One client, a 50-person firm, cut their month-end close from 10 days to 3, reclaiming 150 hours monthly for advisory services. We achieve this by automating 80% of manual data entry and validation, using AI to handle complex matching logic that humans take hours on. ROI typically hits within 4-6 months, with cost reductions up to 40% on operational overhead, aligned with benchmarks from ACCA studies on AI in accounting.
Is the AI solution secure for handling sensitive financial data?
Absolutely—security is engineered in from the ground up. We use end-to-end encryption (AES-256) for all data flows, role-based access controls, and regular penetration testing to meet GDPR, CCPA, and financial regs like GLBA. Our systems include automated redaction for PII in reports and integrate with your existing firewalls. In one case, we helped a firm migrate from insecure spreadsheets to a compliant platform that passed a HIPAA-aligned audit flawlessly. Clients own their data fully, with no third-party storage, minimizing breach risks that affect 30% of financial entities annually per Verizon DBIR.
How do you integrate with our existing accounting software?
Integration is seamless and custom-built. We start by mapping your workflows in tools like QuickBooks, Sage, or NetSuite, then develop deep API connections for bidirectional data sync— no brittle middleware. For example, our AI can pull transaction data, process it for anomalies, and push updates back without user intervention. We've integrated with over 20 ERPs for accounting clients, reducing sync errors by 95%. Post-launch, we provide API documentation and support to ensure it evolves with software updates, keeping your operations fluid.
What if our firm's needs change, like new tax regulations?
Our solutions are designed for adaptability. We include quarterly optimization sessions to update models for changes, such as IRS form revisions or new FASB guidance on crypto assets. Using modular architecture, we can retrain AI components without overhauling the system— a client recently adapted theirs for BEPS 2.0 compliance in under two weeks. This ongoing partnership ensures your automation remains relevant, unlike static tools that require full rebuilds, saving you 50% on future dev costs compared to industry averages from Forrester.
How much does a custom AI automation project cost for an accounting firm?
Costs vary by scope but start at $25,000 for foundational automations like AP/AR workflows, scaling to $75,000 for full-suite integrations including dashboards and forecasting. We base pricing on your specific needs—e.g., a 20-client firm might invest $40,000 for 25-hour weekly savings yielding 4x ROI in year one. Unlike subscriptions averaging $10K/year per tool, you own it outright. We offer phased rollouts to manage cash flow, with 90% of clients reporting payback in 6 months through efficiency gains documented in our case studies.
