What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our team spent endless hours during tax season sorting vendor bills for client trust accounts and double-checking Section 162 deductions. Their custom system integrated right into our QuickBooks setup and cut our AP time in half—we processed 500+ invoices flawlessly last quarter without a single Circular 230 compliance hiccup, saving us $40K in potential audit fees. It's like having an extra CPA on staff.""
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Tax Manager, Apex Financial Advisors LLP

AIQ built us a tailored workflow that auto-flags IRS mismatches on Form 1099-K payments and routes approvals securely via encrypted channels. In the first six months, we saved over 200 hours and avoided two potential audit flags on partnership returns—game-changer for our boutique tax firm.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation ensure compliance with IRS regulations?
Our custom AI is engineered with built-in rulesets mirroring current IRS guidelines, including Section 179 deductions and 1099 reporting. It automatically validates invoice details against tax codes, flags mismatches like unallowable expenses, and generates immutable audit logs. For tax prep firms, this means reducing error rates by 92%—far surpassing manual checks. We've integrated similar systems for 50+ clients, helping them navigate audits without penalties. Implementation includes a compliance review tailored to your state's requirements, ensuring seamless adherence without disrupting workflows.
What kind of time savings can a tax preparation service expect?
Based on our deployments, firms save 25-35 hours per week per preparer by automating data entry, approvals, and reconciliations. During peak tax season, this jumps to 50+ hours, as the AI handles invoice influxes that would otherwise backlog. One client, a mid-sized firm, reported processing 1,200 invoices monthly in under 4 hours total—down from 40. ROI hits within 3-6 months, with labor cost reductions averaging $120K annually. We customize to your volume, starting with a benchmark analysis of your current processes.
Is the solution customizable for our specific tax workflows?
Absolutely—unlike templated software, we design everything around your exact setup, from integrating with your client management system to handling niche needs like estate tax invoices. Our process begins with mapping your workflows, then building AI models that adapt to variables like multi-state filings. For instance, we recently tailored a system for a firm dealing with international client deductions, incorporating VAT checks. This ensures 100% fit, with scalability for growth, and full ownership so you're not locked into vendor updates.
How secure is the system for handling confidential client data?
Security is paramount in tax prep, so we embed end-to-end encryption (AES-256) and role-based access controls from the start, compliant with SOX, GDPR, and IRS Publication 1075. Data is processed in isolated environments, with no third-party dependencies that could expose info. Features include automatic redaction of sensitive details like SSNs during approvals. Our track record shows zero breaches in 5+ years across financial clients. We conduct penetration testing pre-launch and provide ongoing monitoring to keep your firm's reputation intact.
What integrations does it support with our existing tools?
We connect deeply with core tax tools like QuickBooks, Drake Software, and Thomson Reuters UltraTax, plus CRMs such as Salesforce or Clio. Our two-way APIs enable real-time syncing—e.g., auto-populating invoice data into client ledgers or pulling W-2 matches. For custom needs, like linking to your secure file portal, we build bespoke connectors. Past projects include integrating with bank APIs for payment verification, reducing manual bank runs by 80%. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with zero downtime during migration.
How much does a custom invoice automation solution cost?
Pricing is bespoke, starting at $25K for SMB tax firms, based on workflow complexity and integrations—far below the $50K+ in annual subscriptions you'd juggle otherwise. This includes design, build, and 6 months of support, with ROI from time savings often covering costs in year one. For a typical 20-preparer firm, expect payback in 4 months via 25 hours/week reclaimed at $75/hour billing rates. We offer a free audit to provide an exact quote, factoring in your scale and needs—no hidden fees.
