Document management with AI classification
Clients upload a pile of files; AI reads each one, identifies the document type and tax year, names it to your firm's convention, and files it against the right checklist item.

- Automatic recognition of W-2, 1099, K-1, 1098, brokerage, and bank documents
- Tax year and entity detection so files land in the right engagement
- Consistent naming applied to every document automatically
- Duplicate and unreadable-scan detection before staff time is spent
The real cost of a client upload
A client sends 34 phone photos named IMG_4471. Someone on your staff opens each one, works out what it is, renames it, files it, and ticks the checklist. Multiply that by 400 returns and document handling becomes one of the largest hidden labor costs in a tax practice.
AI classification removes that step. Each upload is read, classified by document type, matched to a tax year and an entity, renamed to your convention, and attached to the checklist item it satisfies — before a staff member ever opens it.
A document library organized the way preparers think
Documents live inside the engagement and the household, not in a folder tree someone has to remember. Search by client, year, document type, or status, and see at a glance which checklist items are satisfied and which are still open.
- Versioning when a client re-sends a corrected document
- Rejection with a reason when a scan is unreadable or incomplete
- Retention rules and per-document audit history
- Optional mirroring to Dropbox in your existing folder structure
Humans stay in charge of the exceptions
Low-confidence classifications are flagged for a quick human confirmation rather than filed silently. The AI does the volume; your team handles judgment. Every correction improves how future documents for that client are handled.
Frequently asked questions
- How does AI document classification work?
- When a client uploads a file, the AI reads it, identifies the document type such as W-2, 1099, K-1, or bank statement, and files it against the right checklist item and tax year.
- What if the AI classifies a document incorrectly?
- Staff can reclassify in one click. Low-confidence results are flagged for review rather than filed silently, so nothing lands in the wrong engagement unnoticed.
- Do clients have to name files correctly?
- No. Clients can drag in a folder of photos and PDFs with meaningless names and the system sorts and labels them for your team.

Every partner, manager, preparer, admin, and client signs in through one secure, auditable identity layer — with single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and controlled onboarding and offboarding of staff.
RBAC/PBAC & PermissionsDefine exactly what each role can see and do — then layer policy rules on top so access follows the client, the entity, the pod, and the engagement rather than one flat permission list.
Staff & POD AdministrationGroup your team into PODs — small pods of preparers, reviewers, and admins who own a book of clients together — then manage assignments, capacity, and coverage from one screen.
Client & Household ManagementLink spouses, dependents, trusts, partnerships, and closely held companies into a single household so your team sees the whole relationship instead of six disconnected client records.
