What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in Excel sheets for every new qualified opportunity zone investment query—it took hours just to confirm eligibility under Section 1400Z-2 for clients in renewable energy. Now, the knowledge base pulls up vetted IRS Notices in seconds, and we've cut prep time by 18 hours a week across our 12-person firm. Last season, it directly helped us onboard 15% more high-net-worth clients without adding staff."

Sarah Mitchell

Senior Tax Manager, Apex Financial Advisors LLP

"Integrating state-specific sales tax rules for nexus under Wayfair decision was a nightmare with our old shared drives—errors cost us a $12,000 fine last year for uncollected use tax. Their custom system auto-updates from official state revenue department sources and flags changes to Form ST-3, saving us from repeat headaches. We've seen a 40% drop in compliance reviews for multi-state filings, letting us focus on growing our practice."

David Chen

Managing Partner, Horizon Tax Group PC

"As a small firm, we couldn't afford enterprise software, but AIQ built something tailored to our multi-jurisdiction estate tax filings under IRC Sections 2001-2058. Junior associates now handle complex gift tax exclusion calculations independently, reducing my oversight by half. In our first quarter post-implementation, we recovered 22 billable hours weekly on Form 706 preparations—it's transformed our efficiency."

Common Questions

How does this ensure compliance with IRS data handling requirements?

Our knowledge base is built with encryption at rest and in transit, adhering to IRS Publication 1075 standards for safeguarding tax information. We implement granular access controls so only authorized preparers view sensitive precedents, and every interaction is logged for audit trails. Unlike generic tools, we customize retention policies to match your firm's needs—retaining data for seven years as required—while purging obsolete entries to minimize breach risks. In our deployments, this has helped firms pass external audits with zero findings, saving thousands in potential fines.

What types of tax documents can the system automate?

We ingest everything from IRS forms and revenue rulings to your internal memos on topics like carried interest or R&D credits. The AI organizes them by jurisdiction, tax year, and relevance, using OCR for scanned PDFs and NLP for extracting key clauses. For example, it can auto-categorize state conformity rules against federal changes. This setup has enabled firms to handle complex scenarios, like multi-state apportionment, 50% faster, directly tying to higher client satisfaction and retention rates.

How long does implementation take for a mid-sized tax firm?

Typically 4-6 weeks for firms with 10-50 preparers, starting with a one-week discovery to map your workflows. We parallelize building the core AI engine while integrating with tools like QuickBooks or your document management system. Beta testing ensures accuracy on sample queries, like depreciation recapture rules, before full rollout. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of optimization, resulting in systems that deliver 95% query accuracy from day one—far outperforming phased rollouts that drag on for months.

Can this scale if our client base grows during tax season?

Absolutely. Our architecture uses cloud-agnostic frameworks that auto-scale with usage spikes, handling 10x query volumes without downtime—critical for February peaks. We've designed it to support unlimited users and document volumes, with AI models that learn from firm-specific patterns over time. For instance, a client firm saw seamless expansion from 200 to 800 active returns, reclaiming 12 hours per preparer weekly. No need for costly upgrades; it's built to grow with your revenue trajectory.

What if we already have a document system—will this replace it?

No replacement needed; we enhance it. Our automation layers on top, pulling data via secure APIs to create an intelligent overlay—searching across your existing repositories like SharePoint or LexisNexis without migration hassles. This unified view eliminates silos, for example, linking a client's prior-year NOL carryforward directly to current eligibility rules. Firms report 30% faster response times to client inquiries, turning what was a fragmented setup into a cohesive knowledge powerhouse.

How do you measure the ROI for our investment?

We track metrics like time saved on research (target: 15-20 hours/week per user) and error reduction (aiming for 40% drop in compliance issues) using built-in analytics. Pre-launch, we baseline your current processes; post-implementation, dashboards show ROI in real dollars—e.g., $15/hour saved on junior staff time. Based on AICPA data, this often yields payback in 4-6 months. One client recouped their fee through avoided overtime alone, adding $8,000 to their bottom line in the first quarter.
