We're Not Building a Bot. We're Training an Accountant

When most vendors say "AI for accounting," they really mean it can do some GenAI tricks or handle a task or two.

When we say it, we mean Archie is learning to be an accountant.

And we mean it literally. We are training Archie to pass the CPA exam.

We're not here to bolt generic AI into a spreadsheet or dashboard. We're doing something different, something much harder, and much more important.

We're building a teammate. An accountant who reads the same textbooks, follows the same regulations, and one day could walk into your firm and start helping on day one.

Step 1: Archie Goes to Accounting School

We don't prompt Archie to act like an accountant. We train him to be one.

We start with a powerful base model and rewire its foundation through a combination of full and prefix fine tuning. We begin with a strong base, then we feed it knowledge similar to the way a real human learns it.

We're talking real accounting education: GAAP, IFRS, FASB regulations, CPA prep materials, academic journals, industry guides, and more.

Then we extract the text, convert every table and image into structured JSON, chunk it by chapter and page, and feed it all into Archie's training pipeline.

We don't just upload PDFs and hope for the best. We scan, chunk, structure, and test every piece of content to ensure Archie actually learns the material.

"It's like planting the brain of an accountant inside the model," Stuart explains. "And it means it won't be great at politics or pets anymore, but it will know accounting like a pro."

It's costly and time-consuming. It's also necessary for our long-term success.

Once the content is loaded, we test Archie's knowledge the way any accountant would be tested: with thousands of CPA-style questions, pulled from the very material it's being trained on. And it's not just about right answers. It's about learning to reason like an accountant.

This is how Archie builds the judgment to flag issues, explain variances, and ask intelligent follow-ups. Not just what happened, but why.

Step 2: He Gets His Regional Credentials

Archie's global from day one, but accounting isn't.

So we train him on the regulatory frameworks of the countries where he'll work: starting with the United States, then expanding to UK, Canada, and Australia.

That means he doesn't just know what ASC 606 is. He knows how to apply it. He doesn't just recognize a tax code. He understands the impact.

This is how we make sure that when Archie walks into a US firm, he speaks your language. And when he lands in Toronto, London, or Melbourne, he adjusts accordingly.

Step 3: Archie Picks a Major and a Career Path

Accountants don't just work in "accounting." Neither will Archie.

We're training him across every discipline, but to start, we're going deep in the ones that unlock the most impactful workstreams: Advisory, CFO Services, Wealth & Investment, and Bookkeeping.

On top of that, Archie is learning how different industries work. Because doing books for a McDonald's franchise is nothing like doing them for a private equity firm.

The industries we train Archie on will depend on you: our design partners and early adopters. We're running hundreds of interviews every month to understand where he can drive the most impact.

Step 4: Archie Starts His Internship

Once Archie has the fundamentals, the specializations, and the regional nuance, he's ready to get to work.

That's where you come in.

We onboard Archie just like you would a new hire. He gets access to your GL, budgeting tool, CRM, practice management system, and shared drives. We walk him through your processes. We answer his questions. We teach him how your firm works.

This isn't a plug-and-play integration. It's an onboarding.

Archie learns how you and your firm work. That's when the magic happens. Archie becomes the analyst who spots missing accruals, the assistant who suggests journal entries, and the intern who already knows where everything lives.

From there, Archie starts helping out: spotting anomalies in budget vs actuals, recommending accrual entries, asking smart questions about prepaid schedules, surfacing insights from contracts and client files, and getting smarter with every interaction.

He's not perfect yet. But he's getting sharper by the day.

And here's the best part: Archie wants feedback. Every correction, every confirmation, it all helps him get better, faster.

Would You Like Archie to Intern at Your Firm?

We're inviting a small group of firms to be part of Archie's early internship program.

If you're ready for AI that doesn't just automate, if you want a teammate who actually understands accounting and learns how your firm works, join the waitlist.

Let's train the future of accounting together.
