Translate my accountant's spreadsheet into the tax portal
A couple filed their own taxes - his simple, hers split between employment and freelancing. The AI made sense of the Excel spreadsheet their accountant sent and translated it into exactly what the tax portal expected, beating the tax advisor they hired two years earlier, who had made a significant mistake.
How it works
- Receive the accountant's Excel spreadsheet
- The AI interprets its structure
- Maps every figure into the tax portal's expected format
- Couple files both returns
- Result beats the paid advisor's error from two years before
Why it’s worth knowing
The agent's job was pure translation between two bureaucracies' formats - and the error-prone one turned out to be the human advisor they'd paid.
