AI workspace for accounting and advisory firms.Turn Client Files Into Finished Engagements.
Docsbench AI agents work through client records, source documents, and prior workpapers, connect the evidence, and draft the audit findings, tax examination responses, advisory reports, and forecasts your engagements deliver.
Bring the trial balances, ledgers, invoices, contracts, receipts, prior workpapers, and engagement instructions into the client’s project. Docsbench’s agents read across all of it, so the evidence that takes weeks to gather and connect is in one place from the first request to the final draft.
Gather and classify
Work Through the Whole Client File.
Ledger lines, receipts, invoices, and contracts. Docsbench matches records to their support, applies your mappings and workpaper categories, flags likely miscoding, and keeps every original beside its proposed change. What took the team weeks to gather becomes a schedule you can review.
Compare balances across years, test figures against contracts and shipping documents, and reconcile schedules to the returns. Docsbench shows each finding with the records behind it, so your reviewer can check the evidence, not just the conclusion.

Revision
Draft the Deliverable. Revise It on Request.
Management letters, IDR responses, QoE reports, and lender forecasts, drafted in your firm’s format with the supporting workbook behind them. When the client changes a date or a reviewer removes an adjustment, tell Docsbench which files to update, and it shows what moved.

Built for Every Service Line.
Audit findings, examination responses, quality-of-earnings reports, forecasts, and the monthly client pack each start from a different client file and end in a different deliverable. Choose your practice.
From Trial Balance to Management Letter.
“Map the trial balance to our leadsheets, flag fluctuations above our threshold, and pull the client’s explanation for each.”
“For the purchase samples we selected, check each for approval evidence, and list the exceptions with document references.”
“Draft the findings summary and management letter points from the exceptions, referencing each workpaper.”
Spend less of the engagement assembling evidence and more on the judgments only your auditors can make.

Answer the IDR With Every Exhibit in Place.
“Pull support for every contract-labor payment in the IDR from the 2023 and 2024 ledgers, contracts, invoices, and 1099s, and list what’s unsupported.”
“Reconcile the examined payments to the filed returns, using the adjustments in our workpapers.”
“Draft the IDR response memo with an exhibit index, and set aside the items that need the tax manager’s position.”
Turn weeks of document hunting into a response your tax team reviews, not rebuilds. The same approach prepares year-end tax workpapers.

Build the Quality-of-Earnings Report From the Data Room.
“Build the QoE databook from three years of financials, payroll, and contracts, with proposed EBITDA adjustments and their support.”
“Analyze revenue by customer and contract, and flag anything a buyer will question.”
“Draft the QoE report from the databook, then remove the related-party rent adjustment and update both.”
Give your advisory team more time to test the adjustments and advise the client on the deal.

Build the Forecast From Three Years of Records.
“Build a 24-month three-statement forecast from three years of history, the payroll register, leases, and the expansion plan.”
“Add base and downside cases, and show when cash falls below the minimum the lender requires.”
“Turn it into a lender deck and advisory memo, then push the second location’s opening back a quarter and update all three.”
Free advisors from building models and decks so more of each engagement goes into advice.

Clean Books Before Every Close and Tax Season.
“Recode this year’s ledger to the client’s chart of accounts, and list anything you can’t place with confidence.”
“Compare September with budget by location, tie the totals to the trial balance, and draft the commentary in our client template.”
“Build the client review pack in last month’s format, with open questions for the client at the end.”
Spend less time cleaning up records and more time on the client conversation, with books ready for the audit, tax, and advisory work that follows.

Your Review Chain Stays Intact.
Docsbench drafts the work. Your preparers direct it, your managers review it, and your partners decide what reaches the client.
1
Preparer Directs.
Supplies the client file, mappings, and templates, and approves or rejects each flagged item.
2
Manager Reviews.
Checks findings against their source documents, tie-outs, and formulas, and leaves notes Docsbench works through.
3
Partner Decides.
Reviews the final deliverable and signs what goes to the client.
Can we check every finding before it reaches the client?
Yes. Each finding, adjustment, and figure links to the records behind it. Inspect the source documents, the original and proposed classifications, tie-outs, and formulas before anything is delivered.
Does Docsbench change the client’s books?
It works on the exports and documents you supply. Corrections apply to the working files in your project, and any adjustment in the client’s accounting system remains your team’s decision and action.
Who makes the audit, tax, and advisory calls?
Your professionals do. Docsbench applies your mappings, thresholds, and instructions, drafts the deliverable, and sets aside what needs a decision. Auditors own procedures and opinions, tax specialists own positions, and advisors own their conclusions.
Can we use our own templates and prior workpapers?
Yes. Upload your report templates, prior-year workpapers, mappings, and letters. Docsbench drafts new work in your format and can edit existing files.
Take On the Next Engagement.
Spend less time gathering evidence, building schedules, and drafting from scratch. Give your professionals more time for the judgment, advice, and client relationships that the firm is built on.
