## The Problem

Invoices arrive via email, PDF, mail, and vendor portals — Estate Tax Specialists re-key them into Lacerte, chase GL codes and approvers, and still end up with duplicates and late fees.

## What We Build in Lacerte

AI pulls bills from every channel, extracts line items, assigns GL codes using Estate & Gift Tax patterns, routes approvals, and sends payment files to Lacerte — processing cost per invoice drops from $15 to under $2. Purpose-built for teams running Lacerte — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Lacerte Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Lacerte configuration.** We map the specific Lacerte objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your estate & gift tax practice.
2. **Build on the Lacerte API or agent.** Integration happens inside Lacerte — 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 Lacerte with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
