We interviewed 500+ CPAs and accountants. These are the document
processing and workflow problems they told us about and how Tax
Velocity solves each one.
Problem
Staff Shortages & Burnout
Your best people spend 40% of their week on research that
could be automated. Staff churn is accelerating and
replacing senior staff costs $80K+.
Our Solution
Ai Workflow Multiplier
Let each staff member handle 2.5× the client load. AI
handles first-draft research so your CPAs focus on
high-value advisory work they love.
Problem
Complex Research Takes Too Long
An S-Corp election analysis can take 4 hours. Multi-state
nexus questions derail your whole day. Research backlog
extends client delivery timelines.
Our Solution
Instant, Cited Tax Research
Get cited, defensible answers in under 60 seconds IRC
sections, Rev. Rulings, PLRs, and CCAs with full audit
trail. Even covers complex cases.
Problem
Compliance Risks & Audit Exposure
Missing a nexus trigger, an R&D credit eligibility
check, or a penalty abatement opportunity costs clients
thousands — and costs you the relationship.
Our Solution
Proactive Risk Detection
Automatically flag every entity for compliance gaps,
triggers, and opportunities — before filing. Catch what
human review misses at 3am in busy season.
Problem
Generic AI Tools Aren't Tax-Safe
ChatGPT hallucinates IRC sections. Generic AI trains on your
data. Your clients expect accuracy you can stake your
license on — not a chatbot disclaimer.
Our Solution
Purpose-Built for Tax Professionals
Every answer cites the source. We never train on client
data. Built by CPAs for CPAs with a malpractice-aware
accuracy standard from day one.

Why Tax Velocity
Why CPA firms choose Tax Velocity over generic OCR tools
Generic OCR doesn't know W-2 from 1099 — and definitely doesn't know
what to do with a K-1 footnote. Tax Velocity is built for the
documents, schemas, and compliance reality CPAs deal with every day.
Purpose built for tax documents
Unlike generic OCR tools, Tax Velocity understands the structure of W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, Schedule C, 1065s,
and 1120-Ss. Field extraction is accurate because the model knows what it's reading — not just where text
appears on a page.
Your client data is never used for training
Every document your firm processes stays yours. We use zero-retention infrastructure and our Data
Processing Agreement contractually prohibits any use of your client data to train or improve any AI model
ours or anyone else's.
SOC 2 Type II certified, on our first audit
We achieved SOC 2 Type II certification before opening to paid customers. The entire document processing
infrastructure was architected around the controls framework — security is not a layer on top, it's the
foundation.
Designed by CPAs, not just engineers
Our founding team includes former Big 4 tax managers who lived the document processing problem firsthand.
We know the difference between a K-1 Box 1 and Box 2 — and why it matters to get it right every time.
99%+ accuracy that you can stake your license on
We benchmark field-level extraction accuracy on a standardized set of real tax documents and publish
results quarterly. Our numbers beat every generic OCR tool we've tested against — and we'll show you the
data.
Immutable audit trails on every document
Every extraction, validation, and export is logged with timestamp, user identity, document version, and
model version. If a document ever comes into question — in a review, an audit, or a client dispute.
Simple, transparent pricing
Pricing that scales with your document volume
No hidden fees, no per-page charges buried in fine print. Every plan
includes onboarding support, SOC 2 documentation, and unlimited
access to our CPA support team.

What tax professionals say about Tax Velocity
Real outcomes from real firms — measured in hours saved, errors
eliminated, and capacity recovered.
★★★★★
We cut document processing time by 75% and now handle 30%
more returns with the same staff. I look back at manual data
entry as almost unthinkable now — Tax Velocity changed how
our entire practice operates.
I evaluated four OCR tools before Tax Velocity. The others
choked on K-1s and brokerage statements. Tax Velocity nails
them on the first try — and the audit trail alone is worth
the subscription.
Client document security and compliance — by design, not retrofit
CPA firms handle some of the most sensitive financial data in existence.
Tax Velocity was architected from the ground up to protect it.
SOC 2 Type II Certified
Annual independent third-party audit covering security, availability,
processing integrity, and confidentiality. Full SOC 2 report available
on request under NDA before you sign anything.
End-to-End Document Encryption
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Every client document
is encrypted from the moment it enters Tax Velocity before it leaves
your browser. Encryption keys are managed per-firm, never shared.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions scoped by role, client, engagement, and document
type. Every user action upload, extraction, review, export is logged,
timestamped, and exportable for engagement documentation and IRS
defense.
