Accounting firm office representing AI automation for CPA and accounting professionals

    Accounting & CPA Industry

    AI automation for accounting firms — collect documents faster, miss no deadlines, chase fewer invoices.

    Talos builds workflow automation for CPA firms and accounting practices. Automate client document collection, deadline reminders, and billing follow-up so your team focuses on the work that requires expertise — not chasing clients.

    Who we work with in accounting

    We serve CPA firms and accounting practices where administrative overhead steals time from billable client work.

    Small to mid-size CPA firms

    Firms with 2–50 staff spending too much time chasing documents and sending deadline reminders manually.

    Tax practices

    Tax preparers and enrolled agents managing hundreds of clients through the compressed January–April filing season.

    Bookkeeping practices

    Bookkeeping firms that need consistent monthly document collection from clients without manual follow-up.

    CFO advisory firms

    Outsourced CFO and advisory practices managing recurring deliverables across a growing client roster.

    What we automate for accounting firms

    Client document collection

    Automated reminders via email, SMS, and voice to collect tax docs, bank statements, and receipts — with escalation if clients don't respond.

    Client onboarding

    Digital intake forms, engagement letters, and payment collection automated from initial inquiry to signed engagement.

    Deadline reminder sequences

    Automated multi-channel reminders to clients ahead of quarterly estimates, filing deadlines, and extension dates.

    Invoice & billing follow-up

    Automated AR follow-up that contacts past-due clients by email, SMS, or call without staff involvement.

    Tax organizer distribution

    Automated distribution of tax organizers with personalized client links and collection tracking.

    Client communication workflows

    Automated status updates to clients when their return is in review, filed, or when IRS notices arrive.

    What changes when accounting firms automate

    Without AI automation

    • Staff spends hours each week chasing clients for documents — peak season becomes chaos
    • Billing follow-up is inconsistent — revenue sits as uncollected AR for weeks
    • Onboarding new clients is slow with manual engagement letters and intake forms
    • Deadline reminders fall through when staff is busy — errors and penalties follow

    With Talos automation

    • Document requests go out automatically and escalate until received — staff focuses on review
    • AR follow-up runs on autopilot — invoices get paid 40% faster
    • New clients onboard digitally in under 24 hours with no back-and-forth
    • Every client is reminded at the right time, every time — deadlines are never missed
