  • 10 agent templates built specifically for accounting practices
  • Connects to Gmail, Google Sheets, and Calendar — works with your existing tools

  • No code, no configuration files, no API keys

The real cost of manual work in accounting.

Your team spends hours on tasks that follow predictable patterns — chasing documents, calculating estimates, sending reminders. Every hour spent on accounting automation that could be handled by AI tools for accountants is an hour not spent on advisory work that clients actually value.

How IIMAGINE solves it
Deadline management
ProblemTracking dozens of overlapping deadlines across individual returns, business filings, quarterly estimates, and payroll — all with different due dates and extension statuses.
ConsequenceMissed deadlines mean penalties for clients, liability for your firm, and damaged trust that takes years to rebuild.
SolutionThe Client Deadline Tracker agent monitors all upcoming deadlines, identifies at-risk clients, and sends reminder emails automatically — every week, on schedule.
Chasing overdue invoices
ProblemFollowing up on unpaid invoices requires persistence and consistency. Manually tracking who owes what, when they were last contacted, and what escalation level is appropriate takes time away from billable work.
ConsequenceInconsistent follow-up leads to aging receivables, cash flow problems, and awkward conversations that get harder the longer you wait.
SolutionThe Accounts Receivable Chaser reads your invoice data, applies tiered escalation (gentle reminder, firm follow-up, final notice), and handles the communication so nothing slips through.
Quarterly tax estimates
ProblemCalculating estimated payments for self-employed clients, S-Corp owners, and freelancers requires projecting income, applying current rates, accounting for withholding, and communicating clear payment instructions.
ConsequenceErrors or delays in estimates expose clients to underpayment penalties. Manual calculations across dozens of clients create bottlenecks before every quarterly deadline.
SolutionThe Tax Estimate Calculator agent reads client income data, runs the projections using current rates and safe harbor rules, and drafts payment instruction emails — ready for your review before sending.
Document collection
ProblemEvery engagement starts with gathering documents from clients. Every tax season requires chasing the same information year after year. Clients forget, delay, and lose track of what they have already sent.
ConsequenceIncomplete files delay filings, push work into crunch periods, and force your team to spend time on logistics instead of accounting.
SolutionThe Document Request Automator sends personalized checklists and follows up on missing items. The New Client Onboarding Coordinator manages the entire collection process from engagement to first filing.
Month-end bookkeeping review
ProblemReviewing monthly transactions for missing receipts, uncategorized items, and anomalies is tedious but essential. It requires consistent attention to detail that is hard to maintain across many clients.
ConsequenceUnreviewed books accumulate errors that compound over months, making year-end close painful and audit preparation expensive.
SolutionThe Monthly Bookkeeping Reviewer scans transaction data, flags uncategorized items and anomalies, and generates exception reports so your team focuses only on items that need human judgment.

Unified Context Engine
AI that understands your practice

IIMAGINE classifies your data around your objectives and priorities using our SCOPED framework (Status, Challenges, Objectives, Priorities, Enablers, Deadlines). The AI advice you get is grounded in what actually matters to your firm — not generic suggestions.

Agents
Delegate work to AI employees

Create agents from templates or from scratch. Give them access to Gmail, Sheets, and Calendar. Assign tasks on a kanban board the same way you assign work to humans. Every client-facing action requires your approval.

Data Governance
Client data stays compartmentalized

Set access rules once — they apply to every person, every agent, every model. Your tax agent cannot see payroll data. Your associate cannot access partner-level files. Boundaries that apply equally to humans and AI.

Local AI

Best practices for AI in accounting.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Using the public interface of ChatGPT or Gemini for client data — your data is used for training, which may be non-compliant
  • Sending AI-generated client communications without review — always approve before sending
  • Relying on a single AI model without testing it against your actual work — quality varies significantly by task type
  • Skipping data governance setup — an AI agent with unrestricted access is as risky as an employee with unrestricted access
  • Creating one giant prompt instead of splitting tasks into specialized agents with clear responsibilities

Recommended approaches

  • Start with one agent (deadline tracking is the easiest win) and expand as your team builds confidence
  • Run Model Testing on a sample of your real work before committing to any AI provider
  • Use the human approval system for all client-facing actions — build trust with your team gradually
  • Keep agent instructions focused — one agent per workflow performs better than one agent trying to do everything
  • Review agent output for the first few weeks, then adjust instructions to improve quality over time

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. Unlike the public interfaces of ChatGPT or Gemini, data processed through IIMAGINE is not used for AI model training. You can also run sensitive conversations through Local AI (on your own machine) for zero data transmission. Data governance rules ensure agents only access what you explicitly allow.

No. Agent templates come pre-configured with instructions, tools, and sample data. Setup is: connect your Google account, replace sample data with your real client data, create a task, and click run. No code, no API keys, no configuration files.

Free plan to start with credits included. Paid plans from $29/month with additional credits. You see the exact cost of each agent run before it executes. A typical deadline reminder run costs less than $0.01 in AI credits.

No. These agents handle repetitive administrative tasks — chasing documents, sending reminders, calculating estimates, reviewing transactions. They free your team to spend more time on advisory work, client relationships, and complex accounting that requires professional judgment.

Yes. After installing a template, swap Google tools for their Microsoft equivalents — Outlook for Gmail, Outlook Calendar for Google Calendar, Excel for Google Sheets. The agent instructions adapt to whichever tools are connected.

You can create custom agents from scratch with the agent builder. Define instructions in plain English, connect tools, and assign tasks. Or modify any installed template to match your exact workflow.

When an agent needs to send an email or create a calendar event, it pauses and waits for your approval. You see exactly what it wants to send, to whom, and can approve or reject. The agent only proceeds after you explicitly allow it.

Yes. Agents live in your workspace and are accessible to team members based on the roles and permissions you set. Multiple people can review and approve agent actions.
