More on Arc in @AccountingToday "Arc extends Accrual's platform across tax, audit, client accounting services and advisory. It works alongside Accrual's other dedicated workflow products to handle investigations, analyses and other assignments that span systems. Permissions, recorded actions and human review are built into the process; practitioners retain responsibility for final judgment and approval." accountingtoday.com/news/acc…

Every accounting firm has work that has no screen. The investigation that crosses three systems. The client question that requires digging through old correspondence. The analysis someone assembles by hand because no workflow was ever built for it. Meet Arc. Give Arc a substantive job. It gathers the context, develops a plan for approval, does the work, and brings back finished work for review. We built Arc first to run Accrual. Now we’re bringing it to accounting firms.

We started Accrual in tax. We always believed that was the beginning. Today, we’re expanding across tax, audit, and advisory, with one intelligence platform built for the way accounting firms work. We’ve been building for where the profession is going. See what’s new: accrual.com

Working at the edge of AI-native means we're not just building AI for our clients. We're building it for our team. Meet Arc: the Accrual Remote Coder. An agent platform we built ourselves, for ourselves. CPAs propose changes to the tax logic they review. Account managers show up to calls already briefed. Support ships its own fixes. Titles stop mattering when the tooling removes the boundary between them. Our teammate Jarrod wrote about what that looks like from the inside - this is the first of two posts on Arc.

Accrual has converted 100% of our pilots to production with the biggest accounting firms in the country. @getCos chatted with @pablosrugo on the latest episode of The Product Market Fit Show to share more about Accrual's growth. From Cos: "Most AI tools in accounting quietly patch over failures. Humans fixing what the model got wrong before you see it. Running the same return multiple times and handing you the best version. We don't do that. We show firms exactly what the AI produces, return by return, side by side with what they finalized. Where we're wrong, we say why." Listen here: pmf.show/episodes/ep-43-ep-4…

"Writing code is one of the most satisfactory things in my life. Almost every day, if I had a choice, I would end up writing code," - @getCos, Co-Founder and CEO of Accrual. Our team isn't all engineers, but we're bringing an engineering mindset to everything we do at Accrual: never stop building, improving, and delivering. Many thanks to @_uncoveredmedia for capturing what we're all about. founderuncovered.com/p/cosmi…

Firm Growth Forum with @AccountingToday is a wrap! It was great to see so many clients, advisors, and industry leaders all in one place this week in sunny San Diego. Very proud of the way Accrual showed up - from panel discussions, to onstage case studies with @Armanino_HQ, to dinners and nonstop conversations. The through line was clear: firms are moving past the question of whether AI will matter in accounting. They are focused on how to pilot it, evaluate quality, build trust with reviewers, and move from a controlled test to a firm-wide rollout.

A new genre of AI benchmark keeps reaching the same verdict: "AI can't do accounting." We've read them. The problem isn't the execution. It's that they evaluate an agent in isolation, asked to produce a Form 1040 in one shot, with no review, no iteration. No preparer would work that way either. Production systems are built differently. They pair the agent with a deterministic tax engine. They give it the same context a preparer has: emails, prior-year work papers, client notes. They flag uncertainty instead of guessing. They iterate, with secondary agent reviews catching inconsistencies before a human ever opens the draft. The right question for firm leaders isn't "what does this AI score?" It's "is this designed to work the way tax preparation actually works?"

AI isn't a question of strategy for accounting firms anymore. It's one of execution. Great conversation @houlihanlokey 's ONE Global Conference this week about the billable hour, deployment strategy, and AI’s role in growth and service line expansion. A few things that stood out - @getCos : ➡️ AI is now a board-level execution mandate. The days of "wait and see" are gone. ➡️ Compliance is the engine. Automating compliance workflows generates the leverage. ➡️ The innovation of today is the commodity of tomorrow. Models are evolving at an incredible rate, and accounting has been historically neglected, which means abundant low-hanging fruit. Expect the floor to rise every tax season.

Our team is back from @BDOAlliance EVOLVE! A year ago, the question was "will AI matter for tax?" This year, nobody asked that. The questions were sharper: where does Accrual actually work, and how do we put it into a firm without breaking the things that already work? Most of our "just taking a look" conversations turned into workflow conversations within ten minutes. That tracks with where the market is. A few takeaways: ➡️ Firms aren't shopping for tools anymore. They're rethinking the whole arc, intake, prep, validation, review, as one system. Point solutions are starting to feel like the problem, not the answer. ➡️Trust is the constraint. Not speed, not UX. Accountants want traceable data, continuous validation, outputs that a preparer can sign their name to. Without that, faster is worse. ➡️Buying still happens in rooms like BDO Evolve, not on websites, not from a demo link. Every vendor is claiming AI right now, and firm leaders are sorting real from noise. The bar to earn trust is a real conversation. Usually over dinner. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and joined one of our events!

Tax engines. Portals. CRM. Workflow. Billing. Time tracking. Plus the email and shared drives holding it all together. Accrual plugs into the stack you already have. Here’s how we think about integration: accrual.com/insights/how-acc…

A successful AI pilot does not always translate into deployment. The gap between "this worked for the pilot group" and "this is now how thousands of people across nationwide offices prepare taxes" is where most enterprise AI initiatives stall... That's not because the technology failed, but because rolling out AI tools is genuinely novel work that demands more hands-on training, change management, and workflow redesign than most firms anticipate. We've published a step-by-step guide, which draws from practical experience successfully implementing AI tax prep across firms during the TS26 season. We're out here demystifying AI integration.

K-1 automation isn't an extraction problem. It's a comprehension problem. You can read a K-1 perfectly and still produce the wrong return. The numbers are right, but they land in the wrong fields, flow to the wrong state calculation, and create a false sense of completeness during review. The real challenge isn't reading the document. It's knowing: → where each number belongs in the return → how state rules change that mapping → how prior-year context affects the decision That's a three-layer problem: understanding the document, planning the return, populating the worksheets. Most tools collapse all three into extraction, and that's where firms get burned. Across Accrual's client base this season, over half of all K-1s included state supplements and one in three involved PTET elections.

AI is reshaping the accounting profession faster than most firms are ready for. Next week at @BDOAlliance EVOLVE, our team will be on the ground talking about what AI adoption actually looks like in practice. If you're heading to Las Vegas, come find us at Booth #302. And, don't miss @getCos 's panel discussion on "AI in Tax." We'd love to connect and can't wait to see you there. #BDOEvolve

In the words of our co-founder @getCos 🚀 “We got pretty enamored with the idea of being able to help accountants and as a result of that, helping the end clients have much more impact on how they actually use their dollars and maximizing the impact of the dollar." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
