Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Weekly: Manual tasks like reconciling bank statements to trial balances or flagging AML anomalies eat into your core advisory time. Our AI automates these with 98% accuracy, freeing your team for high-value client work such as merger due diligence.

We build AI that auto-generates audit-ready trails for SEC submissions and flags discrepancies in real-time, slashing reporting cycles by 75%. This not only minimizes compliance risks but delivers ROI through error reduction—our clients avoid an average of $50K in annual penalties from FINRA or IRS audits.

Accounting firms see a 30% improvement in working capital efficiency, directly impacting bottom-line profitability without the guesswork in quarterly financial projections.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our month-end reconciliations of sub-ledger entries took 20 hours per accountant, and we had two SOX compliance scares last year involving incomplete audit trails. Their custom AI now handles variance checks and auto-populates 10-Q filings automatically, cutting our time to under 5 hours and ensuring everything's audit-ready for PCAOB reviews. It's like having an extra senior staffer who never errs on regulatory details."

Sarah Jenkins

Managing Partner, Apex Financial Advisors LLP

"We were drowning in manual invoice matching across 500+ clients monthly for AP/AR under IFRS 15—it was inefficient and error-filled, leading to delayed UCC-1 financing statements. After implementing their tailored workflow, processing time dropped 60%, and our error rate went to zero on revenue recognition. The ROI hit within four months, and our team's focus shifted to growth advisory on client M&A deals."

Michael Torres

CFO, Precision Accounting Group Inc.

"Switching from spreadsheets to AIQ's unified system transformed our tax prep for Schedule K-1s and Form 1065s. What used to take a full week for seasonal partnership filings is now two days, with built-in AML and FATCA compliance checks. We've saved over 300 hours this quarter alone, allowing us to take on 15% more clients in estate planning without adding headcount."

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not no-code patches, ensuring your AI is a scalable asset that grows with your firm—unlike assemblers who leave you chained to fragile vendor dependencies.

Common Questions

How does AIQ Labs ensure our automations comply with financial regulations like GAAP?

Compliance is non-negotiable in accounting. We embed regulatory frameworks directly into our AI models during development, using audited protocols that align with GAAP, IFRS, and SOC 2. For instance, our anomaly detection algorithms are trained on anonymized datasets from similar firms, flagging issues like improper revenue recognition before they escalate. We conduct third-party audits post-build and provide documentation for your internal reviews. This approach has helped clients pass external audits with zero findings, saving thousands in remediation costs. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds are tailored to your firm's specific compliance needs, ensuring seamless adherence without manual overrides.

What kind of time savings can an accounting firm expect from your AI workflows?

Based on our deployments, firms typically reclaim 25-35 hours per week per team member from tasks like reconciliation and reporting. Take invoice processing: manual entry often takes 10-15 minutes per document; our AI handles it in seconds with OCR and auto-matching, cutting AP cycles by 70%. In one case, a 50-person firm reduced month-end close from 10 days to 3, freeing 200+ hours for advisory services. These gains are quantified during our initial audit, with ROI calculators showing payback in 3-6 months through billable hour recovery and error reduction—industry benchmarks from PwC support these 40-50% efficiency lifts in automated financial ops.

Is the AI system customizable for our specific accounting software and processes?

Absolutely—customization is our core strength. We start with a detailed mapping of your workflows, whether you're on QuickBooks, Xero, or a bespoke ERP, then build two-way API integrations that mirror your exact processes, like custom depreciation schedules or client-specific reporting templates. No templates here; everything is engineered for your firm's nuances, such as multi-entity consolidations. Our team includes CPAs who understand accounting intricacies, ensuring the AI adapts to seasonal tax rushes or unique advisory models. Post-launch, we iterate based on your feedback, maintaining 99% uptime and evolving the system as your practice grows.

How secure is the data in your AI workflow automations for sensitive financial info?

Security is paramount for accounting data. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, with SOC 2 Type II certification across our builds. Access is role-based, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, and we offer on-premise deployment options to keep client PII within your firewalls. Our AI models process data without storing unnecessary details, and regular penetration testing by external firms ensures robustness. In regulated environments, we've deployed systems that handle HIPAA-adjacent financials without breaches, giving firms peace of mind during audits. You own the data and controls, eliminating third-party risks from subscription tools.

What happens after the initial build—do we own the system completely?

Yes, full ownership transfers to you upon completion, including source code, documentation, and training materials. Unlike subscription models that lock you in, our solutions are yours to maintain, modify, or scale independently—though we offer optional support retainers for updates. This shifts you from renter to owner, avoiding the 'subscription chaos' of 10+ tools costing $10K+ yearly. For example, one client took our handover and integrated it with their in-house IT, saving 25% on ongoing costs. We provide a 90-day optimization period to ensure smooth handover, empowering your team with the tools to sustain gains long-term.

Can your AI handle complex scenarios like multi-currency reconciliations?

Our AI excels in complexity, including multi-currency ops. We train models on your transaction history to automate conversions, hedging adjustments, and FX variance reconciliations with 98% accuracy, per our benchmarks. For a firm dealing with international clients, this meant slashing manual forex checks from 8 hours to 30 minutes weekly. Built on advanced frameworks like TensorFlow, the system handles nuances like fluctuating rates from ECB or Fed data feeds. It's all custom-coded to your ledger structure, ensuring compliance with ASC 830 standards without generic limitations—delivering the precision accounting demands in global practices.
