Your firm is growing.
Your bench isn't.

01 · The Talent Gap

You can't hire fast enough

Good staff are expensive, scarce, and take months to train. The talent market isn't going to fix itself before your next busy season.

02 · The Capacity Wall

Deadlines don't flex

But your team's bandwidth does. Every engagement season, something has to give. Usually it's quality, turnaround, or your own sanity.

03 · The AI Shift

AI is changing the work

And you don't have the time or the team to figure out how to use it, while everyone around you is talking about little else.

04 · The Expectation Gap

Your clients expect more

They want advisory, reporting, and insight while you're still trying to close the books. The gap between what they want and what you can deliver gets wider every year.

See the total impact
of partnering with TAG.

Cost reduction is the easy part of the story. The bigger number is the advisory revenue your senior people unlock once they're off prep and bookkeeping. Most U.S. CPA firms see 50 to 65% cost savings, plus meaningful new advisory billings, inside twelve months. Move the sliders to model your firm.

The economics are obvious. The harder question is whether your offshore partner has the QA discipline and tech stack to actually replace a senior. That's where TAG is built differently. Managing Partner, Regional CPA Firm

AI doesn't replace
professional judgment.

It compresses everything around the work, from research and drafting to reconciliation and document review, so your people have the time to spend on judgment, advisory, and the client relationship itself.

The Question

How does TAG actually use AI in delivery?

Document ingestion, source-document tagging, first-pass workpaper drafts, anomaly detection in reconciliations, draft memos for review. Every output is reviewed by a qualified accountant before it leaves the firm.

Human-in-the-Loop
The Concern

What about data security and confidentiality?

Each client firm runs in a dedicated tenant. We don't train on your data. Workflow is compliant with IRS Pub 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule, with U.S. data residency, encryption at rest and in transit, and MFA on every endpoint. Our custom private LLM stack runs inside our own perimeter, so client data never leaves it.

Enterprise-Grade Stack
The Output

What does this mean for turnaround?

Same-day acknowledgement. 48–72 hour bookkeeping cycles. 5–7 business day prep turnaround at peak. Most firms see capacity uplift of 30–40% in the first 90 days.

Measurable
The Difference

Why not just hire an AI tool ourselves?

You can, and most firms try. The bottleneck is rarely the tool. It's the workflow design, the QA layer, the prompt engineering, and the change management around all of it. We've already done that work on live engagements.

Done For You

A delivery model built
for your practice.

Step 01 · Discovery

30-minute scoping call

We map your engagement portfolio, current pain points, and what success looks like in 90 days. No commitment. We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.

Step 02 · Pilot

One engagement, end-to-end

Pick a single engagement. We deliver it under your brand, your standards, and your review. You get to see how we actually work on quality, turnaround, and communication before you commit to any volume.

Step 03 · Pod Assignment

Your TAG team, same faces every season

You get a named team, typically one senior, two or three staff, and one reviewer, who learn your workpapers, your tone, and your clients. Same people, every season, with direct Slack or Teams access.

Step 04 · Steady State

Quarterly business reviews

SLAs tracked, quality scored, capacity rebalanced. We grow with your firm, adding pod members during peak and redeploying off-season. You hold the relationship; we hold the production.

Why firms choose TAG.

01

Practitioner-led delivery

TAG is run by working qualified accountants, not BPO operators. Every workflow, QA layer, and review checklist comes from production-firm experience and not a playbook bought off the shelf.

02

Pod model, not ticket queue

You get the same team, every engagement, every season. They learn your workpapers, your standards, your clients. Continuity that an offshore queue can never match.

03

AI-native workflow

Built for 2026, not retrofitted from 2014. Document AI, anomaly detection, and draft generation are embedded in delivery rather than bolted on after the fact. Your senior reviews; the AI prepares.

04

Full data separation

Your data sits inside a secure environment with per-client network isolation, zero-trust access, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Our team works through locked-down virtual desktops. Encrypted AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, immutable backups. GLBA WISP in place, aligned with IRS Pub 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule.

What partners
actually say.

We tried two other offshore providers before TAG. The real difference isn't the price. It's that their team actually thinks. They caught a K-1 discrepancy our own senior missed. First 90 days, 38% capacity uplift. Measurable.

I was skeptical about AI in tax prep. TAG's human-in-the-loop model changed my mind. The AI does the heavy lifting and a qualified CPA checks every line. We've added $400K in advisory revenue in one year because our seniors finally have bandwidth.

Same team, every busy season. They know our clients. They know our templates. The pod model is the thing. It isn't a ticket queue, it's an extension of our office. The security audit came back clean on every point.

The pilot was the smartest thing we did. No contract, one real engagement, full visibility into how they work. Fourteen months later we've scaled to 60% of our bookkeeping through TAG. The ROI paid for itself in the first quarter.

Built by practitioners,
for practitioners.

Tulsa Advisory Group is a 100-strong, multi-locational delivery team, backed by a 1,100-person parent practice with twenty years on the ground.

We aren't a BPO. We're a practice. The same partners who built a successful advisory over twenty years built TAG to be the kind of partner we wished existed when we were on the other side of the relationship: reliable, accountable, and not just another vendor.

The result is a delivery practice that thinks the way your firm does, works to global standards, and uses AI the way it should be used: to make professionals more capable, not to replace them.

The questions partners
actually ask.

Three things. First, pods: the same people on every engagement, not a ticket queue. Second, practitioner DNA. TAG is run by working qualified accountants, so the QA discipline matches what you'd expect in your own office. Third, AI is embedded in the workflow rather than a marketing slogan, with measurable turnaround and capacity uplift in the first 90 days.
We use three models depending on the engagement type: per-return for tax prep, per-client tiered for bookkeeping, and capacity blocks (hours) for audit support and advisory. We share unit economics openly during the discovery call. No setup fees during pilot.
Dedicated tenant per client firm. MFA on every endpoint. Microsoft Defender, encryption at rest and in transit, no commingled data. TAG's own custom private LLM tools run inside our perimeter, so your client data never trains a public model and never leaves our environment. Workflow design is compliant with IRS Pub 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule.
That's your call. Most TAG-supported firms position TAG as their delivery infrastructure rather than a separate vendor. The work goes out under your firm's brand, signed by your partners. We follow whatever transparency model you've chosen with your clients.
Discovery call within a week. Pilot engagement scoped within 10 business days of the call. First deliverable typically inside 3 weeks of pilot kickoff. Full pod onboarding takes 4–6 weeks for a steady-state engagement.
The pilot is the off-ramp. If the first engagement doesn't meet your standards, you walk. No contract, no commitment, no awkward conversation. We'd rather lose a pilot than lose your trust. Beyond pilot, engagement-level termination notice is 30 days.
