The problem it solves

Sorting through a month of receipts, matching each one to the right revenue period, and calculating deductions by hand is slow, tedious work that's easy to get wrong. For accountants juggling multiple clients, that time adds up fast.

Who it fits

Accountants, tax professionals, or finance teams handling monthly deduction reporting.

How it works

  1. On a monthly schedule, the system pulls in expense receipts and revenue records
  2. AI reads each receipt and extracts the deduction details in a structured format
  3. It matches expenses to the correct revenue period and calculates eligible deductions
  4. A formatted tax report is generated and emailed to the tax team automatically
What you get

Deduction reports ready for your accountant's sign-off

Receipts get read, matched to the right period, and turned into a monthly deduction report sent straight to your tax team.

What you get

A formatted monthly tax deduction report emailed directly to your tax team.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a Gmail account, plus your existing receipt and revenue data sources.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
