## The Problem

Every Public Accounting Ops KPI lives in a different tool and the owner only sees them when the controller rebuilds the deck.

## What We Build in Karbon

AI pipes KPIs from Canopy and every other system into a live dashboard, writes weekly commentary on movement, and sends an exception summary — the owner sees the business in real time. Purpose-built for teams running Karbon — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Karbon Integration Approach

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