Challenge

The challenge was to Develop an indispensable AI assistant tailored for tax professionals, seamlessly integrating into their workflows. The key challenge lay in designing an intuitive UX/UI capable of effectively presenting vast amounts of complex data and strategies to users. The solution also required implementing intricate tax calculations for both federal and state levels in the United States, accounting for diverse factors such as varying tax rates, income brackets, filing statuses, deductions, etc. Additionally, the system needed to cross-reference all relevant data against specific federal and state regulations to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Actions

We delivered a robust application designed to calculate tax obligations or refunds based on client income data and facilitate the creation of tax plans to minimize obligations or maximize refunds, with or without AI assistance. The application consists of two main components:

  • User Interface: A streamlined interface for end-users to interact with the application.
  • Admin Application: A backend tool for managing data and configurations.

Technical Highlights:

  • Deployment: The application is hosted on AWS for scalability and reliability.

Technologies Used:

  • Frontend: Developed with the React framework for a dynamic and responsive user experience.
  • Backend: Built as an API using the Nest.js framework, paired with a PostgreSQL relational database for secure and efficient data handling.
  • Integration: Seamlessly connects with Xero and QuickBooks, enabling automatic entry of clients' business income data into the system.

As of today, we have an established pipeline onboarding new users and a significant demand for demos.
