Cut down R&D tax credit processing from weeks to just hours. Let AI Agents handle document extraction, QRE calculations, and IRS form generation, so you can focus on strategic business decisions.


Processing R&D tax credits typically requires 1 to 40 hours per client. CPAs must extract W-2 data from various formats, and much of this work is repetitive and straightforward.

As companies grow, training new CPAs can take months, but clients expect faster results. Keeping up is challenging, and manual reviews are unfeasible.

Some clients send clean Excel files, while others send scanned PDFs from various sources. W-2s vary in format, and time-tracking data is scattered across systems, making a custom approach necessary and making automation seem difficult.

Every calculation must be documented with case law, regulations, and client details to pass IRS review. However, manual records are hard to keep consistent.

Intelligent OCR Pipeline processes W2s (scanned or digital), Excel sheets, call transcripts, and time exports in minutes. Low-confidence items are flagged for review.

Structured data from documents becomes a queryable database tracking employees by name, title, wages, and state. It automatically flags wage mismatches and suspicious allocations before CPAs review.

Bulk aggregations use natural language, and complex queries go through an RAG framework. Pre-approved formulas avoid any unsupervised AI math.

Draft technical memorandums with proper citations. Each answer cites source documents with inline references and maintains an IRS-ready audit trail.

AI agents automatically fill out credit forms and generate a complete RTC workbook in your current Excel template format, eliminating the need for reformatting or manual data transfer.

CPA’s are always in control. AI summaries show context and reasoning for escalations. Free-form chat popup to handle edge cases. All decisions are logged for compliance.
