How we build

One approach, across tax prep, bookkeeping, and tax research.

Built by engineers and accountants

Engineers who built production AI work with a co-founder who ran his own accounting practice.

AI prepares, reviewers approve

The AI prepares the work. Your reviewers approve it. Nothing posts, files, or goes out to a client without review.

Inside the tools firms already use

Cranston works with the tools your firm already uses: QuickBooks, Xero, Drake, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, UltraTax, email, and shared files. There is nothing to replace.

Learns from live firm work

Firms use each feature in live client work. Their feedback determines which features we keep.
