The real cost of manual intake
Industry analysis of mid-market CPA firms found the average firm loses over 340 staff hours per tax season just collecting and organizing client documents. That's highly trained staff doing work that requires zero tax expertise.
Staff hours lost
Per tax season, chasing missing documents and decoding incomplete organizers.
Full workweeks burned
On work that requires zero tax expertise and zero billable hours.
In unbillable staff time
Per season, per firm. The intake tax, paid in burnout and missed K-1s.
How NILA works
From client invite to CPA-reviewed export. NILA handles the repetitive part before prep starts, so your team's time goes to work that actually needs a CPA.
Clients open a link, complete the intake conversation in their preferred language, and upload documents from anywhere. Your firm manages the workflow and reviews the output in English.

你好,李先生!我看到您去年报税时申报了一份W-2。今年还在同一家公司工作吗?
是的,但去年12月换了部门,工资也涨了。
Got it. Same employer, role change in December. I'll flag that for your CPA to confirm.

| Prior-year intelligence | No | Pre-fills only | Pre-fills only | Compares & flags gaps |
| Reviewed export formats | Manual | Yes | Yes | Excel, Smart ZIP, Lacerte |

NILA saves us 45+ minutes per client on intake follow-up. Across hundreds of clients, that's a significant number of hours recovered every season.

FAQ
NILA's client-facing intake conversation supports multiple languages, including Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Farsi, Vietnamese, and Japanese. The firm dashboard, onboarding, support, review workflow, and structured output are currently in English.
Today NILA provides three reviewed export formats: structured Excel, Smart ZIP, and Lacerte GL Bridge. These are export workflows, not native API interfaces for Drake, ProSeries, or CCH Axcess. Your CPA reviews extracted fields before generating any export.
NILA is built with explicit advice deferral. It gathers facts only. It never opines on filing status, deductions, or strategy. Every advice-adjacent question gets routed back to your team. This is intentional and non-negotiable.
About 60 seconds for the firm. Add your first client, upload their prior year return, and NILA auto-builds their checklist. The client gets a login email and 2FA setup. No app download, no training.
Mandatory 2FA on every account. Documents stored in encrypted cloud storage. AI runs in isolated environments with no model training on client data. SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. Full audit trails on every action.
