Why Choose Us
Generic invoice software treats every business the same—like a one-size-fits-all contract that leaves gaps in coverage. We build custom AI from the ground up, extracting data from scanned PDFs of legal bills or financial statements with 99% accuracy. Think of it as your personal forensic accountant: it flags anomalies in expense classifications, automates three-way matching for purchase orders, and generates immutable logs for audits. Flexible enough to handle IOLTA trust accounting or SEC filings, our systems integrate deeply with your existing ERP, ensuring data flows securely without the subscription sprawl.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Without Compromising Precision
Accelerate Processing with Pinpoint Accuracy
Our custom AI automates matching of legal retainers to billing codes, slashing invoice handling time by 65% for firms processing 5,000+ documents monthly, including time entries from Clio or PracticePanther systems. Error rates drop below 1%, enabling reallocations to client strategy sessions in litigation or advisory roles.
Fortify Compliance in Every Transaction
Built-in safeguards enforce GAAP, SOX, and FINRA standards across every transaction, including automated 1099 flagging and audit trails for SEC filings. Clients in financial services report 40-hour reductions in quarterly audit prep, streamlining regulator reviews and safeguarding against FINRA penalties.
Boost Cash Flow Visibility and Control
Predictive analytics forecast payment timelines with 92% reliability for trust disbursements and vendor terms, optimizing cash flow in multi-jurisdictional deals. Bookkeeping firms achieve 25% working capital gains post-implementation, transforming AP into a tool for funding international legal engagements without late fees.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team at a 50-attorney firm spent 15 hours weekly manually matching IOLTA retainers to ABA billing codes in our Elite system. Now, it's under two hours, and the AI flagged coding errors that prevented $12,000 in overpayments on contingency fees last quarter alone. The seamless integration with our trust accounting is invaluable."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Trust Accountant, Thompson & Associates LLP
"Managing multi-currency invoices for our hedge fund advisory clients was chaotic, with constant FX conversion errors risking FDIC violations. AIQ's AI handled automated conversions and compliance checks, cutting errors by 80% and getting our month-end closes done in days instead of weeks. Setup was just three weeks, and it's flawless for our global portfolios."
Michael Rivera
Controller, Apex Capital Advisors
"For our firm serving SEC-registered investment advisors, compliance is non-negotiable. AIQ's custom workflow instantly flags anomalous expense patterns in 10-Q filings, helping us reclassify a vendor payment that averted a $50,000 SEC fine during last year's audit. It's tailored precisely for our regulatory-heavy environment."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your solution ensure compliance with financial regulations like SOX?
Compliance is at the core of our design. We build automated controls that enforce segregation of duties, require dual approvals for high-value invoices, and generate detailed audit trails with blockchain-like immutability. For SOX specifically, every transaction logs user actions, timestamps, and rationale, reducing preparation time for audits by 35%. We've tailored these for legal bookkeeping firms handling SEC filings, ensuring all GL entries align with GAAP without manual overrides. Unlike generic tools, our system flags deviations in real-time, helping you avoid penalties that average $250,000 per violation.
Can this integrate with our existing accounting software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and even custom ERPs used in financial services. For a recent legal bookkeeping client, we synced invoice data directly into their trust accounting module, eliminating double-entry and cutting reconciliation errors by 90%. The process starts with mapping your data fields—say, matching retainer invoices to IOLTA codes—then building secure connectors that sync in real-time. No brittle middleware; it's production-grade code that handles peak loads without downtime.
What makes your AI better at handling legal-specific invoices?
Legal invoices often include unstructured elements like handwritten notes or variable billing codes for services like discovery or appeals. Our custom AI models are trained on domain-specific datasets, achieving 98% extraction accuracy for these nuances—far surpassing generic OCR at 75%. We incorporate rules for trust account segregation and expense categorization per ABA guidelines. A financial advisory firm we worked with processed 2,000+ mixed legal-financial docs monthly; post-implementation, their AP team saved 25 hours weekly, with zero compliance flags in their annual review.
How long does implementation take for a mid-sized bookkeeping firm?
Typically 4-6 weeks for a full rollout, depending on your workflow complexity. We begin with a one-week discovery to map processes like vendor onboarding and payment scheduling. Then, 2-3 weeks for building and testing the AI core, including integrations. The final week covers training and go-live. For a 50-employee bookkeeping service handling legal clients, we went live in 5 weeks, processing their first 500 invoices flawlessly. This phased approach minimizes disruption, with parallel running to validate accuracy before full cutover.
Is the system scalable for growing client volumes?
Yes, our architecture is built for scale using cloud-agnostic frameworks that handle 10x growth without refactoring. If your firm adds international financial clients, increasing invoice volume from 1,000 to 10,000 monthly, the system auto-scales resources while maintaining sub-second response times. We've supported a legal bookkeeping partner whose volume tripled during merger season; our predictive caching and batch processing kept efficiency at 70% time savings. Plus, it's modular—you can add features like AI fraud detection as needs evolve, all within your owned platform.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Ongoing support is included for the first year, with 24/7 monitoring and quarterly optimizations. Our team conducts performance reviews to tweak AI models based on your evolving workflows, like adapting to new IRS e-invoicing rules. Clients get a dedicated engineer for escalations, plus self-service resources like compliance update guides. A recent deployment for a financial services bookkeeper saw us resolve a minor integration tweak in under 4 hours, preventing any downtime. This ensures your system remains a reliable asset, not a forgotten tool.
