Junior accountants and SAIPA / SAICA trainees ask seniors a lot of questions. Most have answers somewhere — in last year's tax notes, in the firm's SOP wiki, in a SARS Interpretation Note, in a previous client file. Finding them takes longer than asking. An internal AI assistant trained on the firm's actual library cuts that interruption tax dramatically.
What we build
Tax-treatment retrieval
Find the firm's prior position on specific tax treatments, with citations to source documents and historical precedent.
SARS guidance lookup
Interpretation Notes, Binding Rulings, ITA references — searched and contextualised for the question at hand.
Client procedure assistant
"What's our process for client X's monthly bookkeeping?" answered from the firm's procedure library.
Engagement-letter retrieval
Find prior engagement letters by service type and counterparty, with adaptation suggestions.
Slack/Teams native
Junior staff ask questions where they already work. Cited answers in seconds.
Privilege-respecting
Permission-aware. Junior staff don't get answers from documents they can't access directly.
What we never do
The AI never gives final tax advice or signs off on positions. It retrieves and contextualises; the registered tax practitioner reviews, adapts, and signs.
What it costs
Implementation. R26,000-R85,000 depending on document volume and integration depth.
