At AIQ Labs, we don't deploy off-the-shelf software. We engineer bespoke AI workflows tailored to your firm's exact processes—whether handling SEC-regulated filings or multi-entity consolidations. Our approach starts with a deep audit of your current AP cycle, then builds a secure, scalable system that ingests invoices via OCR, automates three-way matching, and enforces role-based approvals.

What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Time and Cost Savings
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Weekly
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Weekly: Manual invoice processing in trust accounting devours time that could bill at $250/hour for litigation support. Our custom AI handles IOLTA capture, validation, and routing automatically, freeing your team for high-value M&A advisory. Firms report a 40% productivity boost in Q2 implementations, translating to $150,000+ annual revenue gains per mid-sized practice.
Achieve 300% ROI in Year One
Achieve 300% ROI in Year One: By slashing processing costs from $12 to $1.50 per invoice in FINRA-regulated environments, our solutions deliver rapid payback within 6 months. Benchmark data from Deloitte shows similar automations yield 5x efficiency gains in Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) for CPA firms; we customize to exceed that, with built-in analytics tracking your exact ROI metrics like DPO improvements and reduced FINRA fines.
Ironclad Compliance and Error Reduction
Ironclad Compliance and Error Reduction: Navigate FINRA, PCAOB, and SOX rules effortlessly with AI that flags discrepancies in real-time during quarter-end closes. Reduce audit findings by 85%, as one client did after implementing our system during a routine IRS review of estate planning invoices—ensuring confidential client data stays secure within your fortified digital vault compliant with ABA confidentiality standards.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays manually reconciling unmatched escrow remittances for a high-stakes corporate litigation client, delaying billable work. Now, the system auto-reconciles everything overnight via IOLTA integration, and we closed Q4 trust account books two days early. Saved us about 30 hours a week, allowing focus on case strategy—no exaggeration."
Sarah Jenkins
Trust Accounting Manager, Pinnacle Law Firm
"We were drowning in vendor invoices for SEC filings during tax season, with matching errors triggering client complaints and potential FINRA violations. Their custom build integrated with our QuickBooks trust accounting software and cut our error rate from 15% to under 2% in just 90 days. It's like having an extra senior accountant who never sleeps, handling GAAP validations flawlessly."
Michael Rivera
Chief Financial Officer, Horizon Wealth Management Advisors
"Implemented this for our multi-office firm last quarter to automate invoice processing across jurisdictions for international tax advisory clients. The AI caught a $50K duplicate payment in a cross-border M&A invoice before it hit our ledger—averting a PCAOB compliance nightmare. Processing time dropped from 4 days to 6 hours for VAT verifications, and our partners are thrilled with the freed-up capacity for client consultations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation ensure compliance with financial regulations?
Compliance is non-negotiable in accounting. Our custom systems incorporate built-in checks for standards like SOX, GAAP, and IFRS, automatically flagging issues such as improper revenue deferrals or unverified vendor credentials. We use encrypted audit trails that log every action, making it easy to demonstrate controls during external reviews. For instance, one client passed a surprise PCAOB inspection without a hitch because our AI replicated their exact approval hierarchy. Tailored to your firm's policies, it reduces risk while accelerating processes—firms see 85% fewer compliance findings post-implementation.
What makes your solution different from off-the-shelf invoice tools?
Unlike generic platforms like Bill.com that force-fit your workflows, we build custom AI from the ground up, integrating deeply with your specific tools—think seamless syncing with Clio for legal billing or your trust account software. No brittle APIs or subscription traps; you own a unified system designed for your exact pain points, like reconciling complex retainer invoices. Our engineering team, including certified accountants, ensures it's production-ready, scaling to handle seasonal spikes without extra costs. Clients report 3x faster deployment and zero integration failures compared to templated solutions.
How quickly can we see ROI from implementing this?
Most accounting firms achieve positive ROI within 3-6 months. By automating manual tasks like data entry and matching, we cut processing costs by up to 88%, per industry benchmarks from PwC. For a mid-sized firm handling 5,000 invoices annually, that's $100,000+ in savings from reclaimed billable time alone. We provide upfront projections based on your volume, then track metrics like invoice throughput and error rates in real-time. One partner firm recouped their investment in just 10 weeks by eliminating overtime during tax season—tangible results, not vague promises.
Is the system secure for handling confidential client financial data?
Security is paramount in our designs. We employ enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, with SOC 2 Type II compliance baked in. Access controls mirror your firm's hierarchy, ensuring only authorized users see sensitive info like client SSNs or proprietary ledgers. Our AI anonymizes data during processing to prevent breaches, and we conduct regular penetration testing. A recent client audit confirmed zero vulnerabilities, even under simulated phishing attacks. Built for the regulated world of accounting, it safeguards confidentiality without slowing your workflow.
Can this integrate with our existing accounting software?
Absolutely—integration is our specialty. We create robust, two-way connections to platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, or Oracle NetSuite, automating data flow for invoices, payments, and reconciliations. No more CSV exports or manual uploads; the AI pushes validated entries directly into your GL. For example, we linked a firm's system to their case management tool, auto-generating billable entries from approved invoices. Our track record includes 100% uptime in integrations, even during high-volume periods like year-end closes, ensuring your data remains a single source of truth.
What if our firm's invoice processes are highly customized?
That's exactly why we excel—customization is our core. We start with a detailed audit of your unique workflows, such as specialized handling for forensic accounting projects or multi-entity consolidations. Then, we engineer AI rules that mirror your processes, like conditional approvals based on client risk profiles. Unlike rigid SaaS tools, our solutions adapt without rework. A boutique firm with bespoke trust accounting saw their custom logic fully automated in four weeks, boosting efficiency by 50%. We own the build, so it evolves with your needs, no vendor lock-in.
