What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, onboarding a new corporate client for our wealth management division took our team three full days of manual cross-checking IDs, beneficial ownership disclosures, and FATCA forms. Now, it's automated end-to-end with AI-driven verification, and we've cut errors by 90%. Last quarter alone, we onboarded 15 more high-net-worth clients without adding headcount, boosting our AUM by 12%."
Sarah Jenkins
Chief Compliance Officer, Apex Wealth Management Group
"The custom integration with our Xero system and QuickBooks was a game-changer for post-onboarding ledger reconciliation. No more manual entries for wire transfer approvals or 1099 filings. Compliance checks for OFAC sanctions that used to take hours are now instant, and we've avoided two potential AML flags this year under FinCEN guidelines. It's like having an extra in-house counsel for regulatory adherence."
Michael Torres

"We were drowning in paperwork for high-net-worth client setups, including trust deeds and IRS Form 8832 elections. AIQ's solution streamlined everything with OCR extraction and automated e-consent, saving us 18 hours a week on routine verifications. The ROI hit within two months through 20% faster deal closures, and our error rate in SOX reporting dropped to zero. Finally, tech that truly navigates our complex regulatory landscape."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your automation ensure compliance with financial regulations?
Our system is designed with compliance at its core, incorporating rules from SOX, GDPR, and FINRA into every workflow. We use AI models trained on regulatory datasets to flag issues like incomplete KYC forms or suspicious patterns during verification. For instance, it automatically cross-references client data against OFAC lists and generates detailed audit trails. Unlike generic tools, we customize these checks to your firm's specific policies, such as state-level tax requirements. Post-launch, we provide quarterly updates to adapt to changes, like new AML directives, ensuring you're always audit-ready. This has helped our clients pass inspections with zero findings, saving thousands in potential fines.
What kind of time savings can bookkeeping firms expect?
Typically, our clients see a 75-85% reduction in onboarding time, translating to 20-30 hours saved per week for a mid-sized team. Manual tasks like document scanning and data entry, which once took 4-6 hours per client, now happen in minutes via AI extraction. For a firm handling 10 new clients monthly, that's over 200 hours reclaimed annually—enough to add billable services without hiring. We track this through built-in metrics, and one partner reported a direct ROI of 450% in six months by accelerating revenue recognition. It's not just speed; it's reallocating talent to high-margin work like financial planning.
Is the system customizable to our existing tools?
Absolutely. We start by mapping your current stack—whether it's Xero, QuickBooks, or a custom CRM—and build two-way integrations that feel native. No more exporting CSVs or copy-pasting ledgers; data flows securely in real-time. For example, we can auto-populate client profiles in your accounting software upon verification approval. Our approach uses robust APIs, not brittle connectors, ensuring scalability as your firm grows. We've integrated with over 40 financial tools for past projects, and we include a full handover with your team to maintain it independently. This ownership model avoids vendor lock-in, putting control back in your hands.
How secure is client data during onboarding?
Security is non-negotiable in legal finance, so we deploy end-to-end encryption (AES-256) and host on your choice of compliant infrastructure, like AWS GovCloud for extra safeguards. AI processing happens in isolated environments, with role-based access ensuring only authorized staff see sensitive info like SSNs or bank details. We conduct penetration testing pre-launch and adhere to standards like SOC 2 Type II. In one case, a client avoided a data breach scare because our system anonymized PII during transit. Regular vulnerability scans and compliance certifications keep everything airtight, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in the sector.
What if our onboarding involves international clients?
Our AI handles global complexities seamlessly, supporting multi-language document processing and region-specific regulations like EU GDPR or FATCA for US clients abroad. It verifies against international databases, including PEP lists and cross-border sanctions, with 98% accuracy in our benchmarks. For a firm with EU exposure, we customized flows to include VAT ID validations, cutting setup time by half. We also factor in currency conversions and locale-specific e-signatures. If your workflow includes offshore entities, we tailor the risk assessment engine accordingly. This international readiness has enabled partners to expand without compliance hurdles, onboarding clients from 15+ countries effortlessly.
How long does implementation take?
From discovery to go-live, most projects wrap in 6-8 weeks, depending on your workflow's complexity. Week one is assessment; weeks two to four involve building and integrating the AI core; the rest is testing and training. For a standard bookkeeping setup, we've launched in as little as four weeks. We minimize disruption with parallel run testing—your team uses both old and new systems initially. Post-launch, we offer a 30-day optimization period to fine-tune based on real usage. This phased approach ensures quick wins, like automating your next 10 onboardings, while building a system that evolves with your business needs.
