## The Problem

Chasing Public Accounting Ops clients for 1099s, K-1s, brokerage statements, and receipts consumes the first three weeks of every filing season — and the slowest 10% of clients create 80% of the deadline risk.

## What We Build in Canopy

AI monitors Canopy and the client portal, auto-classifies incoming documents, flags what's missing against the prior-year return, and sends personalized nudges on a cadence — reducing document-gathering time by 65%. Purpose-built for teams running Canopy — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Canopy Integration Approach

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