What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our tax team spent March buried in resumes instead of handling Schedule C filings for small business clients. Their custom system sourced three PTIN-certified CPAs in under two weeks last season, saving us 12 hours weekly on Circular 230 vetting and keeping us on track for a record April 15 close. No more compliance headaches with IRS audits either."

Sarah Jenkins

HR Director, Midwest Tax Advisors LLP

"We were hemorrhaging time on manual screens during October extensions under IRS Section 6081. AIQ's automation integrated with our QuickBooks HR module flawlessly, cutting our hire time by half for a SOX-compliant auditor role and flagging a lapsed EA credential early that could've triggered a $25K fine. ROI hit in four months—game-changer for our small firm handling 401(k) compliance."

Michael Torres

HR Director, Midwest Tax Advisors LLP

"As a boutique tax service, confidentiality is everything under GLBA rules. Their AI built a secure pipeline that vetted candidates against our exact OFAC and AML protocols, landing a senior Form 1040 preparer just before the March 1 deadline. We saved 18 hours a week on background checks and avoided a potential IRS audit snag from unverified hires. Highly recommend for regulated spaces like ours."

Common Questions

How does your recruiting automation ensure compliance with IRS hiring regulations?

We embed regulatory checks directly into the AI, scanning for CPA certifications, FINRA backgrounds, and IRS e-file authorizations during screening. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds reference your firm's specific protocols, reducing non-compliance risks by 70%. For tax prep services, this means automated alerts for any mismatches, ensuring hires meet federal standards without manual oversight. We've deployed this in 50+ financial firms, maintaining audit-ready logs for every step.

What kind of time savings can a small tax firm expect from this service?

Small firms typically save 15-20 hours per week on recruiting tasks, redirecting efforts to client returns and audits. Our AI automates sourcing, screening, and scheduling, cutting manual reviews by 80%. In one case, a 20-person practice reduced hiring cycles from 40 to 12 days during peak season, yielding a 250% ROI through lower turnover and agency fees. These gains are benchmarked against industry data, tailored to your workflow for maximum impact.

Is the system customizable to our seasonal tax preparation demands?

Absolutely. We design the AI to ramp up sourcing in Q1 and Q4, predicting needs based on historical data like extension volumes. Features include surge-mode automation for rapid CPA hiring and downtime optimization for off-season planning. This adaptability, built on your exact calendar, prevents overloads—firms report 3x faster fills during deadlines, all while preserving data confidentiality amid fluctuating workloads.

How secure is candidate data in your recruiting platform?

Security is paramount in financial services. We use end-to-end encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect sensitive info like tax IDs and financial histories. Unlike rented tools, our owned systems avoid third-party vulnerabilities, with audit trails for every access. For tax firms, this means HIPAA-equivalent safeguards, proven in deployments handling confidential client parallels, ensuring no breaches during high-volume hiring.

What integrations does the recruiting automation support for tax software?

We integrate deeply with tools like TurboTax integrations, QuickBooks, and HR platforms such as ADP or your CRM. The AI pulls in employee data for skill matching and pushes vetted candidates directly into your workflow. This creates a single source of truth, eliminating data entry errors common in tax ops. Custom APIs ensure two-way sync, with 99.9% uptime in our financial builds, streamlining from sourcing to onboarding without disrupting your accounting processes.

How long does it take to implement and see results?

Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, starting with a workflow audit and ending with full deployment and training. Results kick in immediately: pilot tests show 50% time reductions in the first month. For tax services, we time launches pre-season, delivering hires within 15 days of go-live. Ongoing optimization ensures sustained 3x ROI, backed by our track record with SMBs hitting benchmarks in under 90 days.
