AI agents for accounting and CPA firms

Tax season, staffing shortages and clients who send documents at the last minute. Agents chase documents, prepare workpapers and keep engagements profitable.

Agents for Accounting & CPA FirmsWorks with CCH Axcess, Thomson Reuters UltraTax, KarbonFirst agent targeted in ~10 weeks
In short

Midsize Accounting & CPA Firms companies use AI agents to take on four kinds of work: chasing client documents; bookkeeping and close for clients; engagement profitability; hiring and staffing for busy season. The agents work inside the systems you already run and escalate exceptions to your team; Luby's standard plan targets the first one in about 10 weeks.

FAQ

AI agents in Accounting & CPA Firms: common questions

How are midsize Accounting & CPA Firms companies using AI agents?

The most common starting points are: chasing client documents; bookkeeping and close for clients; engagement profitability; hiring and staffing for busy season. Each one is handled by agents that run the routine work and escalate exceptions to a person.

Which systems do the agents work with in Accounting & CPA Firms?

Agents connect to the systems you already use, such as CCH Axcess, Thomson Reuters UltraTax, Karbon, QuickBooks Online, through APIs or secure browser automation when there is no API. No rip-and-replace.

How long until the first agent is in production?

Luby's standard plan targets about 10 weeks: roughly 4 weeks of discovery and 6 weeks to put the first agent into supervised production, with the business metric tracked from day one. Systems access and the process chosen can move that date.

Will AI agents replace our team?

That's not how we design them. Agents take over repetitive steps and your people keep the decisions: by default Luby agents run at Level 3 (supervised), so exceptions and approvals always go to a person. In most midsize companies the effect is absorbing growth with the same team.

How is our data protected?

Luby is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701. Agents run in your cloud or an isolated environment, with models under no-training terms.
