What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose weekend calls about year-end 10-K filings, costing us hours chasing SEC-compliant details Monday morning. Their chatbot handled a rush of Schedule C queries over the July 4th weekend flawlessly—responses were spot-on, fully compliant with IRS e-file standards, and included audit-ready logs. Client retention jumped 22% that quarter alone, saving us from a projected $75K in lost billings."

Sarah Mitchell

Senior Partner, Mitchell & Associates CPA

"Integrating this with our QuickBooks Online setup was seamless, taking under two hours. It caught an after-hours wire fraud alert from a client involving a $200K transfer and flagged it to our team instantly with AML risk scoring, preventing what could have been a $50K loss in recovery fees. No more generic bots; this one's truly built for our RIA workflow and FINRA reporting needs."

David Chen

Managing Director, Chen Financial Group

"Our small firm was drowning in off-peak emails about FICA payroll compliance and W-2 withholdings. The AIQ chatbot not only answers them 24/7 with references to IRS Circular E but also upsells our ERISA advisory services effectively during natural conversation flows. We've added three new retainer clients in just two months, generating $15K in additional revenue without lifting a finger."

Discovery and Customization

We audit your current client interaction workflows, identifying pain points like delayed responses to SOX compliance questions, then design a chatbot blueprint tailored to your firm's unique needs and software stack.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot ensure compliance with financial regulations like SOX or IRS guidelines?

Our custom chatbot is engineered with embedded compliance protocols from the outset. We train it on your firm's specific policies, incorporating rules for data encryption, audit trails, and restricted disclosures. For instance, it never shares sensitive PII without verification and logs every interaction for SOX-compliant reviews. Unlike generic tools, we conduct a pre-build audit of your regulatory needs, achieving 100% adherence in deployments for firms handling public company audits. This proactive approach has helped clients avoid penalties that cost the industry over $2 billion annually in non-compliance fines.

Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way API integrations tailored to accounting platforms. The chatbot pulls real-time data from QuickBooks for instant balance inquiries or pushes updates to Xero during client interactions. This eliminates manual lookups, reducing response times from minutes to seconds. In one recent project for a mid-sized CPA firm, we synced it with their ERP system, cutting data entry errors by 45% and enabling 24/7 access to trial balances without compromising security.

What happens when a query is too complex for the AI to handle, like a detailed forensic accounting review?

The AI is designed for intelligent escalation. It recognizes complexity—say, a nuanced fraud detection query—and seamlessly transfers the conversation to your on-call CPA via integrated Slack or email alerts, including full context and chat history. Handover rates are under 15% for routine firms, preserving human expertise for value-added tasks. This hybrid model ensures clients feel supported 24/7 while your team focuses on billable hours, not basic inquiries.

How secure is client data handled by the chatbot?

Security is paramount in financial services. We use end-to-end encryption (AES-256 standard) for all interactions and store data in compliant cloud environments like AWS GovCloud. Access is role-based, with automatic redaction of sensitive details like SSNs. Regular penetration testing and adherence to standards like PCI-DSS ensure robustness. For accounting firms, this means no exposure during after-hours payroll discussions, with zero breaches reported across our 250+ deployments—far surpassing the 28% vulnerability rate in off-the-shelf chat solutions.

How long does it take to deploy and see results from the custom chatbot?

Deployment typically takes 4-6 weeks, starting with a two-week discovery phase to map your workflows, followed by training and testing. Firms often see immediate wins: one client reported a 30% drop in missed leads within the first month post-launch. Full ROI, including 24/7 coverage reducing staff overtime by 20 hours weekly, materializes in 60-90 days. We provide a dedicated optimization sprint at 30 days to refine based on real usage, ensuring rapid value in your high-pressure tax cycles.

Is the chatbot customizable to our firm's branding and specific services, like tax planning or bookkeeping?

Absolutely—customization is our core strength. We align the AI's tone, terminology, and responses to your brand, from professional jargon in tax planning advice to step-by-step bookkeeping guidance. For example, it can reference your firm's unique services like estate planning consultations. Built on advanced frameworks, not templates, it evolves with your offerings, maintaining a consistent voice that builds trust. Clients note it feels like an extension of their dedicated advisor, enhancing loyalty in competitive markets.
