Start with the work

AI drafts. Your professionals decide.

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.

01

Document drafting

Start with your approved engagement letters, memo formats, and firm language—not a blank prompt.

Designed outcomeFirm-ready first drafts
02

Workpaper summarization

Turn dense workpapers into review notes, open items, and partner-ready context without re-reading every page.

Designed outcomeFaster review cycles
03

Client communications

Draft clear, consistent requests and explanations. Your professional reviews every word before it leaves the firm.

The operating reality

You already know the math isn’t working.

Hiring experienced staff is the No. 1 current issue for firms with 11–30 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.

01The Sovereign Stack

The private system.

Dedicated AI hardware and software installed on site, configured with approved firm materials and leased with planned upgrades.

02The Absorption Method

The 90-day adoption plan.

Baseline three workflows. Redesign the work. Train champions. Remove friction weekly. Measure the hours that come back.

03Managed AI

The accountable operator.

Updates, monitoring, security, new use cases, and quarterly reviews—managed around one operating number: time returned.

The data boundary

Private by architecture, not by promise.

Prompts, approved firm materials, source documents, and generated outputs are processed on your dedicated server. They are not sent to public model providers.

  • Role-based access and multi-factor authentication
  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Permissioned, logged remote support
  • Controlled update channel

What this means for your firm

A capacity case you can inspect.

The target, the usage, and the economics stay visible. Every assumption can be challenged before you buy.

Prompts, source documents, and generated outputs are processed on your dedicated on-site server.

13weeks

From baseline to proof

You see usage and recovered time each week, not a success story assembled after the fact.

Capacity without a recruiter

Redeploy recovered time to the work clients are waiting for.

Controls that support your program

Technical safeguards and AI-specific WISP documentation are included.

A more transferable operation

Documented workflows and measured adoption make the firm easier to scale and diligence.

The guarantee

Hit the written time-recovery target—or we keep working at no additional charge until you do.

We agree on the number after your baseline. You watch it move for thirteen weeks. Participation requirements and full terms are written into every proposal in plain language.

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—and 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
