Capabilities

Everything a tax practice needs to automate — in one platform

Studio bundles every CPA Pilot AI capability into a workflow engine your firm controls.

Tax Return Data Entry

Upload any 1040, 1120S, 1065, or state return and Studio extracts structured data — names, SSNs, EINs, income, deductions, schedules — and maps it to your tax software fields. Reduce manual entry time by 70–90%.

Tax Planning Workflows

Build planning sequences tailored to your client tiers — year-end projections, entity analysis, Roth conversion modeling. Studio runs the analysis, generates the client-ready report, and sends the draft to your team for review.

Custom Task Builder

Build automation sequences specific to how your firm operates: client onboarding, deadline reminders, document collection, quality review checklists, handoff workflows. No code required — or bring your own scripts if you want full control.

Built-in Tax AI

Every workflow has access to the full CPA Pilot AI layer: tax research, return review, return summary, email drafts, entity selection, and projections. No stitching together separate tools — it's all native inside Studio.

Firm-Level Security

SOC 2-aligned. Client data is never used to train AI models. Role-based access controls let you define who on your team can run, edit, or view each workflow. Audit logs on every automation run. SSO available on the Guided plan.

Integration-Ready

Studio connects to Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProSeries, and most major practice management tools via API or file-based pipelines. Zapier and webhook triggers let you wire Studio into any existing stack without rebuilding your workflows.
