## The Problem

CPA Firm Administrators write time at week's end from memory — billable hours get lost, project codes are wrong, and write-offs eat realization.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current time entry & wip capture process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
