Case Study

How a 5-person firm automated 31 systems.

A Silicon Valley tax and advisory firm serving 700+ clients was buried in manual onboarding, document handling, and follow-up. Here is exactly what we built, and what changed.

A firm growing faster than its systems.

The firm is a Silicon Valley tax and advisory practice with a five-person team serving more than 700 clients. Every client touchpoint, from onboarding to document collection to billing, was running through manual steps spread across half a dozen disconnected tools.

Nothing was broken, exactly. It was just slow. Every new client meant the same 45 minutes of manual setup, copied by hand between systems, before any actual work could start. Documents came in and had to be sorted and re-keyed one at a time. Invoices and follow-ups got done when someone had a spare minute, which on a five-person team was rare.

The firm brought us in to find every one of those manual steps and replace it with a system that runs itself.

  • 45 minutes of manual work per new client, every time
  • Documents sorted and re-keyed by hand, one at a time
  • Six disconnected tools with no system talking to another
  • Billing and follow-up done whenever someone found the time

31 systems, 6 platforms, one connected firm.

We mapped the firm's real workflow first, then built and deployed each system into the CRM, document management, communication, and billing tools the team already used.

Client onboarding

New client intake, welcome sequences, data collection, and system setup across the CRM now run automatically from a single trigger, no manual re-entry between tools.

Document intake & classification

Uploaded documents are sorted, classified, and routed into the firm's document management system automatically, with no one manually opening and filing each one.

Client communications

Status updates, deadline reminders, and routine replies are drafted and sent automatically across the firm's communication tools, in the firm's own voice.

Billing & collections

Invoicing and past-due follow-up run on a set schedule instead of whenever someone has a spare minute, so nothing sits unbilled or unpaid.

After Agent Setup

45 minutes to under 2.

Onboarding a new client went from 45 minutes of manual setup to under 2. Documents that used to be sorted by hand are now classified and routed the moment they land. Billing and collections run on their own schedule instead of competing for someone's attention.

Across the 31 systems, the team reclaimed roughly a full-time employee's worth of hours every week, time that now goes to the advisory work clients actually pay the firm for.

We used to lose an entire employee's worth of hours every week to work that a system should have been doing. Now it just happens.
