The first 90 days focus on three repeatable workflows where speed matters and professional judgment stays in charge.
No unsupervised tax answers. No black-box client advice. Every output stays reviewable.

The operating reality
You already know the math isn’t working.
Hiring experienced staff is the No. 1 current issue for firms with 11 to 30 professionals. Workload and capacity ranks No. 3. Across every firm size, managing change from technology and AI is the top five-year issue.
The tool that could give your team hours back is also creating a new control problem. Putting client information into unapproved public AI tools can create confidentiality, security, and disclosure risk.
Across professional services, 34% report using AI tools their organization has not sanctioned. That is shadow AI: unmanaged risk created by people trying to get the work done.
Private AI that actually gets used
Three parts. One accountable outcome.
Most deployments stop at software. PrivateStride combines the private system, the behavior change, and the ongoing operator.
Every engagement starts with the Private AI Assessment, so the install is scoped on your numbers, not ours.

The 90 day adoption plan.

The accountable operator.
Updates, monitoring, security, new use cases, and quarterly reviews are managed around one operating number: time returned.

Who it’s for
Accounting and CPA firms with 10 to 75 professionals.
For partners who are done waiting for the hiring market to save them. You should also be willing to back a better workflow with real leadership.
An honest fit check
This is not for every firm.
- Not an unsupervised tax-answering system
- Not consumer AI with a policy memo around it
- Not for leaders unwilling to assign champions
