## The Problem

Monthly close for Small Business Tax clients stalls on stubborn reconciling items — duplicate card charges, uncleared deposits, miscoded transfers — and the team burns Friday nights hunting them.

## What We Build in Drake Tax

AI matches bank and card feeds to UltraTax CS entries, auto-codes recurring transactions with learned rules, and surfaces only the true exceptions to the bookkeeper — close lands 5 days earlier. Purpose-built for teams running Drake Tax — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Drake Tax Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Drake Tax configuration.** We map the specific Drake Tax objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your small business tax practice.
2. **Build on the Drake Tax API or agent.** Integration happens inside Drake Tax — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Drake Tax with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
