# Tax Return Review for Controllers

> AI reconciles each line of the return against source docs in NetSuite and the prior year, explains variances over 5%, and produces a review workpaper the senior can sign off on — cutting review time in half.

- **Role:** [Controller](https://calish.com/workflows/for/controller/)

## The Problem

Senior reviewers spend hours tick-and-tying Mid-Market Controller returns against source documents and prior year — and small-dollar variances still slip through into partner review.

## What We Build

AI reconciles each line of the return against source docs in NetSuite and the prior year, explains variances over 5%, and produces a review workpaper the senior can sign off on — cutting review time in half.
