For accounting, bookkeeping & tax practices
AI labs are paying accounting practices for how the work gets done: close checklists, reconciliations, review notes and SOPs, with client identifiers stripped. Some programs now take firms from 10 staff.
What's valuable
Records of real work and how it turned out. The more years and the better kept, the more they're worth.
How a month-end close actually runs at your firm, step by step.
Every break, what caused it and how it was resolved.
The reviewer's comments on a preparer's work. Thousands of them show what a senior accountant catches.
Tasks, due dates, hand-offs and turnaround from your workflow tools.
Engagement checklists, onboarding steps and client-request templates.
Chart-of-accounts mappings and QuickBooks, Xero or NetSuite setups, with client identifiers removed.
What labs learn from it
“This accrual is double-counted; see the June entry.” A note like that is a lesson an AI can't get from a textbook. Thousands of them, each with the fix that followed, teach a model to review work the way your seniors do.

We never promise a number. Value depends on how much data you have, how many years it covers and how well it's kept. Your valuation tells you where you stand.
See where you standHow it works
You don't need to prepare anything for the valuation, and nothing leaves your company until you've seen it and signed off.
Answer a few questions about your company. Within one business day we email you what buyers want from businesses like yours and what drives the price. No data needed yet.
We match you with buyers who want your kind of data, then handle anonymization, PII removal and the paperwork. You approve every file and every term before anything leaves.
Your company is paid under the license you sign. The buyer pays our fee, so it costs you nothing.
Privacy
You decide what's in scope. These never leave, and nothing goes anywhere without your written sign-off.
How we anonymize
The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. You never pay us anything: there's no upfront cost, and if no deal closes, nobody owes anything.
The method, yes; the client, no. Close checklists, review notes, reconciliation workflows and SOPs carry the value. Client names, tax returns and tax-return information, and account numbers are left out, and anything that would need client consent stays out unless you have it.
Nothing leaves until it has been through three steps. Personal data (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers) is removed or replaced with placeholders. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you. And you sign off in writing. Customer personal data, privileged or regulated records, and HR and payroll files are left out entirely.
Your valuation arrives within one business day. If you go ahead, scoping and signing usually take a few weeks. Buyers pay once the data is delivered and accepted, typically 60 to 90 days after acceptance, and some pay sooner.
It depends on the data. Employee names and contact details are removed like everyone else's, and HR, payroll and personnel files never leave. Some material, such as call recordings or staff messages in certain states, can carry notice or consent rules; we flag it before anything is shared. Many owners choose to tell their team, and your counsel has the final word.
Nothing. The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. There's no upfront cost, and if no deal happens, nobody pays anything.
Then nothing happens. The valuation is free and commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before you sign, and nothing is ever shared without your written approval.
