Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

By the numbers

Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.

Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.

Questions tax preparers ask

What's a typical engagement length for Tax Preparers?

Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.

Can you walk us through a comparable build?

Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 0.15% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Draft reports, proposals and commentary, Analyse spreadsheets and statements, Answer policy questions with sources, Automate onboarding and reminders, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.

Can it keep track of ACC levies?

Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.

Do you work with Xero?

Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
