AI in Accounting Firms is applied primarily to the volume of routine work. This involves data extraction from clients' incoming documents, checking the completeness of materials before processing, flagging missing documents and discrepancies, preparing answers to clients' recurring questions, and searching methodological guidance. The benefit is greatest during closing periods and tax return season, when capacity determines how many clients the firm can handle. An essential condition is confidentiality and protection of client data – documents must not be entered into tools without contractual arrangements covering the processing. Professional assessment and responsibility for accuracy remain with the accountant; the model serves as assistance, not as a source for interpreting regulations. The benefit is best measured by the number of documents processed per employee, since this figure is precisely what determines the firm's capacity.
