$45K+ Capacity Value Unlocked with Automated Document Processing

Client Overview

Cherokee CPA Services is a full-service accounting firm providing tax preparation, bookkeeping, and financial advisory services to individuals and small businesses. During peak tax season, they handle hundreds of client engagements while maintaining the personalized service their clients expect from a trusted CPA firm.

The Challenge: Tax Season Data Entry Nightmare

Like many accounting firms, Cherokee CPA faced a critical bottleneck during their busiest periods:

• Manual data entry from bank statements, receipts, and invoices consumed 8+ minutes per document
• CPAs were acting as data entry clerks instead of financial advisors
• Tax season required hiring temporary staff at premium rates
• Human error rates of 5-10% required expensive review cycles
• Client capacity was artificially limited by processing bottlenecks

The financial impact was significant: At billable rates of $75-$100/hour, the time spent on data entry was costing the firm $15,000-$20,000 per month in lost productive capacity during peak season.

More critically: clients were arriving with "shoeboxes" of documents that needed to become organized spreadsheets. This "shoebox to spreadsheet" problem was the single biggest constraint on the firm's growth.
