Features / AI

How Taxcc uses AI — quietly, everywhere

When software companies talk about "AI features", they usually mean a button with a rainbow gradient and a magic wand icon. That's not our approach.

At Taxcc, AI is laced through the product rather than bolted on — subtle, practical, and built to make your day smoother without you having to think about it. And one rule applies everywhere: every suggestion is a draft. A human approves everything. Nothing is filed, posted or sent by AI on its own.

Where AI quietly lends a hand

Building workflows

Create a workflow — say "Onboard new client" — and sensible steps are drafted from the title alone: AML checks, prior-year records, kickoff call. Edit, untick or rearrange them; you are never starting from a blank page.

Client record → Workflows & tasks → type a title.

Fees and pricing factors

Pick a client\u2019s services during onboarding and Taxcc suggests fees — plus pricing factors like record-keeping quality, software package and transaction volume, each with adjustment bands and a rationale. Apply them with one click, or ignore them entirely.

Onboarding wizard → Fees → "Suggest fees & pricing factors".

Engagement letters and proposals

Instead of writing proposal wording from scratch, Taxcc drafts the intro, a per-service scope schedule and a terms summary for the client in front of you — matched to their entity type and services.

Onboarding wizard → Engagement → "AI-draft proposal wording".

The copilot

Ask which clients have a confirmation statement due next month, or what is blocking a VAT return. Answers are grounded in your practice data, scoped to your tenant, and always draft-only.

Available on every page of the app.

Companies House auto-fill

Type a client name and the company profile, officers, PSCs and statutory deadlines arrive on their own — no rekeying.

Onboarding wizard → Company step.

Document understanding

Portal uploads are matched to outstanding document requests automatically, so a chase closes itself the moment the client responds.

Client portal → document requests.

Your context, your suggestions

In AI settings you tell Taxcc whether you are an accountancy practice, a bookkeeper or a tax advisory firm — and anything else that matters ("40-client rural practice, mostly sole traders"). Every suggestion is tailored to that context.

Your model, your data routing

Expert users can route all AI activity through their own OpenRouter account: choose exactly which models are used and where your data goes. Your key is stored encrypted and never shown again. No key configured? Built-in suggestions still work — the product never goes blank.

The guardrails, in plain English

Human approval required

AI drafts; you decide. It cannot file with HMRC or Companies House, submit payroll, post journals, take payments or send anything to a client without you approving it.

Tenant-scoped

Suggestions only ever see your practice\u2019s data. Client context is capped, filtered by tenant, and enforced at the database layer with row-level security.

Audited

Every AI suggestion and copilot exchange is written to your practice audit trail — what was asked, which mode answered, and when.

Honest about its limits

If the AI provider is down or unconfigured, Taxcc says so and falls back to sensible built-in templates rather than guessing silently.
