Frequently asked questions
Can Chatsy integrate with our practice management software?
Yes, Chatsy integrates with popular accounting practice management tools including Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect, and CCH via API. Client data, document status, and filing information sync with your existing workflows.
How does the AI handle document collection?
Configure document checklists for each service type and the AI sends personalized reminders to clients for specific missing documents. Clients upload directly through the chat interface, and the system tracks which items have been received versus outstanding.
Does the chatbot provide tax advice?
No, Chatsy provides information based on your firm's published guidance and general tax deadlines, but it does not provide specific tax advice. When clients ask advisory-level questions, the AI routes them to the appropriate accountant or partner with full conversation context.
How does it help during tax season specifically?
During tax season, Chatsy handles the surge in client questions about deadlines, required documents, filing status, and refund estimates. This frees your accountants and support staff to focus on preparation work rather than fielding repetitive calls and emails.
Is client financial data secure?
Chatsy uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, with workspace isolation by row-level access controls. Conversations are never used to train AI models. Client data is handled according to your retention policies. Note: Chatsy does not currently offer SOC 2 Type II reports, audit log exports, or SSO. If those are required for procurement, contact us about your specific needs.
Which AI chatbot is best for accounting?
For client-facing communication during tax season (document intake, deadline FAQ, status updates): Chatsy and Intercom work well when trained on firm-specific guidance. For internal research and tax-code Q&A: Blue J Tax, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, and Checkpoint Edge are purpose-built. For general-purpose drafting: ChatGPT and Claude. The "best" tool depends on whether the bot talks to clients or to your accountants.
Is there an AI for accountants?
Yes, several specialized tools. Blue J L&E and Blue J Tax for tax research, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel and Checkpoint Edge for tax and legal research, Karbon AI and Canopy AI for practice management, and Intuit Assist inside QuickBooks. For client-facing intake and document collection workflows, general-purpose chatbot platforms like Chatsy fit because they can be trained on firm-specific content without leaking client data into a public model.
Can ChatGPT do accounting work?
ChatGPT can draft client emails, summarize tax code sections, explain concepts in plain language, and help with bookkeeping reconciliations at a high level. It should not be relied on for binding tax advice, calculations against current code, or anything submitted to the IRS without a CPA review, models can produce plausible-but-wrong references. For client communication and document intake, a tool like Chatsy trained on your firm's actual guidance is safer than open ChatGPT.
When AI chatbot is not the right fit for accounting
We'd rather help you find the right tool than sell you the wrong one.
- You provide regulated tax advice that legally requires a licensed CPA before any guidance is shared.
- Your client engagements are exclusively partner-led and high-touch by design.
- Your data is governed by accounting confidentiality rules that need a separate vendor review.
