Tax organizer intake
Send the right organizer, track incomplete answers and missing documents, summarize what arrived, and prepare the follow-up queue.
Managed operations for the work between client intake and final delivery.

The work moves. Your firm keeps the judgment.
Standing Order AI builds and maintains the workflows that collect, check, coordinate, and follow through—without leaving your firm with another platform to operate.
Not more software. A standing operation.
Most accounting firms do not need another isolated AI tool. They need recurring work to move across the systems and review points they already have.
We start with one process that repeatedly falls back on your best people. Then we map it, build it, put the professional review points in place, and maintain it.
Managed operations vs. AI platformsThe recurring work between deadlines.
The strongest starting points have a clear trigger, a repeatable path, and a named reviewer. The operation handles the movement; your firm retains professional judgment.
QuickBooks sync monitoring
Check that expected records moved between systems, flag mismatches or failed handoffs, and route exceptions to the right reviewer.
Month-end close coordination
Track open items, prepare follow-up queues, collect status updates, and keep client and internal handoffs moving.
Recurring reporting preparation
Assemble inputs, prepare first-pass summaries, and route the package for firm review before it reaches a client.
Firm knowledge and SOPs
Turn scattered process notes into a controlled knowledge system your staff and managed workflows can use.
Inbox and request triage
Sort recurring client questions, draft routine responses, and escalate anything that needs professional judgment.

Before we talk.
What kinds of accounting work can AI automate?
Good starting points are recurring, process-heavy workflows such as tax organizer intake, document requests, QuickBooks sync monitoring, inbox triage, month-end close coordination, reporting preparation, and follow-up. Final suitability depends on the firm’s systems, data, controls, and review requirements.
Does Standing Order AI replace accountants or professional judgment?
No. The operating model is human-led. We design automation around repeatable work while keeping approvals, exceptions, tax positions, audit conclusions, and client advice with the appropriate firm professional.
Do we need to choose an AI platform first?
No. We start with the process and the outcome. The underlying tools are selected only after the workflow, access needs, review points, and maintenance requirements are clear.
Can you work with Michigan CPA firms?
Yes. Standing Order AI is based in Michigan and can help firms globally.
