Accounting Firm Document Intake Assistant
Tax season buries accounting firms in client documents — W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, and mortgage forms arriving by email and upload, never all at once. This assistant reads each document as it lands, identifies its type and tax year, extracts the key figures, and files it to the right client return. It matches every file against the client's expected checklist, so you always know which documents are still outstanding — and drafts the follow-up to chase them.

- The assistant reads it, identifies the document type and tax year, and extracts the key figures.
- Each document is filed to the right client return and logged as one row in your tracking sheet.
- It matches every file against the client's checklist and drafts a follow-up for anything still missing — for your review.

Works with Gmail, Google Sheets
This assistant connects to Gmail, Google Sheets once — no code required. It is not a plain field-copy integration: as data moves, the AI adds a real decision step (classify, extract, prioritize, draft), and a human approves before anything is sent to Gmail.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Accounting Firm Document Intake Assistant sort my client tax documents?
The assistant reads each document as it arrives via email, upload, or manual add, identifies the document type (e.g., W-2, 1099, K-1) and tax year, extracts key figures, and files it to the correct client return in your tracking sheet.
Do I need to write any code to use this assistant?
No, this is a no-code AI automation. You just connect your Gmail and Google Sheets once, and the assistant handles the rest—you only review and approve before anything is sent.
Which apps does this assistant connect to?
It integrates with Gmail for incoming client document emails and Google Sheets to log and track each document and outstanding items.
Does the assistant automatically send follow-up emails to clients for missing documents?
No, it drafts the follow-up email for any missing documents, but you must review and approve it before it is sent—nothing is auto-sent.
Can I customize the checklist of expected documents per client?
Yes, the assistant works with your client's expected checklist in Google Sheets, so you can define which documents are needed for each client, and it matches incoming files against that list.
