AI Operations Manager for accounting firms

Survive busy season. Without chasing every client yourself.

VERA tracks which clients still owe you documents, drafts the reminders, prepares engagement letters for partner review, onboards new clients, and follows up on unpaid fees. It runs practice operations, not the accounting work, and your team approves every action.

Stop wearing every hat

Stop spending busy season chasing paperwork.

The work is not the bottleneck. Waiting on clients is. VERA runs the chasing so your preparers have something to work on.

Document chasing

The same clients go quiet every year. VERA tracks exactly what is still outstanding per engagement and drafts a specific, itemized request instead of another vague nudge.

Engagement letters

Work should not start on a handshake. VERA populates your own letter from the onboarding record so a partner can review and send it the same day.

Deadline reminders

Send every client a dated heads-up about what they owe you and when, in one batch you approve, rather than one-off emails at 11pm.

New client onboarding

Organizer, access requests, and prior-year document list go out as one clean onboarding step instead of three scattered emails.

Advisory growth

The clients most likely to buy cleanup or monthly close work are already in your book. VERA spots the fits and drafts the proposal for a partner to review.

Unpaid fees

Know which fees are aging and send a polite reminder in seconds, instead of writing off the awkward ones after the season ends.

What VERA does for you

Everything a great practice manager does - on your approval.

VERA proposes the work; your team decides what happens. Professional judgment always stays with your CPAs.

01

Know exactly who is holding up which engagement

VERA keeps a live list of outstanding documents per client and ranks it by how long each item has been waiting, so nothing stalls silently.

02

Chase clients without sounding like a robot

Each request names the specific missing items for that engagement, written in your practice's voice, and waits for you to approve or edit.

03

Start every engagement on paper

VERA populates your own engagement letter and onboarding packet from the client record and routes them for partner review before anything is sent.

04

Get ahead of client deadlines

VERA drafts dated reminders about what each client still owes and when, batched so you can approve the whole season's cadence at once.

05

Turn compliance clients into advisory clients

VERA flags the clients whose engagements suggest a fit for cleanup, monthly close, or planning work, and drafts the proposal for a partner to review.

06

Collect fees without the awkward email

VERA ranks unpaid fees by age and amount and writes the polite reminder with a payment link for each one.

Ask in plain English

Tell VERA what you need, in your own words.

The kind of thing accounting firms ask for every day. VERA drafts it and waits for your approval.

From the field

Built for how accounting firms actually work.

The hard part of busy season was never the returns. It was waiting on clients. VERA keeps a live list of who owes us what and writes the request for each one. I approve a batch in the morning and my preparers actually have work in front of them.
E
Ellen Marsh
Partner, CPA Practice
We were starting work before the engagement letter was signed more often than I want to admit. Now VERA fills in our own template the day a client onboards and puts it in front of a partner. That habit fixed itself.
R
Rafael Ibarra
Managing Partner
The document reminders are specific. They name the three things that client is actually missing, not a generic please send your documents. Response rates changed noticeably.
S
Sandra Koh
Practice Manager
Every year I meant to offer more advisory work and every year busy season ate the plan. VERA flags the clients that fit and drafts the proposal. I still decide who we offer it to, but the drafting is done.
D
Douglas Reiner
CPA and Fractional CFO
Chasing fees after the season is the worst conversation in this business. VERA lists the aging balances and writes the polite version for me. I approve them and stop dreading it.
N
Nia Fontaine
Firm Owner
Onboarding used to be three emails over two weeks. Now the organizer, the access requests, and the prior-year list go out as one packet the moment I approve it.

What credits get you

Real per-action costs from the product.

  • Draft a post, email, or reply3 credits
  • Create a full content calendar25 credits
  • Research your competitors25 credits
  • Analyze business data or a report20–50 credits
  • Run an approved automation5–25 credits
  • Heavy agent task (web + tools)50–150 credits

Your plan’s monthly credits work across all of these, mix and match drafts, research, and automations however you like.

How credits work

What uses credits?
AI work: drafting content, research, analysis, and running approved automations. Simple chats cost the least; heavy agent tasks cost more.
Do unused credits roll over?
Your monthly plan allowance resets each billing cycle. Credit packs you buy separately roll over and don't expire.
Can I buy more credits?
Yes, add credit packs anytime (from $10 for 500 credits), or turn on auto top-up so work never stalls.
What are the plan limits?
Each plan includes a set number of seats, connected integrations, and scheduled tasks (see each card). Approval and automation capabilities also step up by plan.
What does that look like in practice?
Using the per-action costs above, Growth's 2,500 monthly credits cover roughly 800 drafted posts, or 100 competitor research runs, or 100 full content calendars a month, mix and match however you work.
What do I get during the 7-day trial?
A limited pool of trial credits to explore VERA, enough to evaluate it, not the full paid allowance. Upgrade anytime and your selected plan's full monthly credits and features unlock immediately.
What happens when I run out of credits?
The next AI action pauses before it runs (nothing is half-charged) and VERA prompts you to buy a credit pack or upgrade your plan. Work already completed is unaffected, and your monthly credits refill at the start of the next billing cycle. Turn on auto top-up and VERA adds a pack automatically so nothing stalls.

Frequently asked questions.

01Does VERA prepare returns or give tax advice?

No. VERA works on practice operations: chasing documents, preparing engagement letters from your templates, sending deadline reminders, onboarding clients, drafting advisory proposals, billing, and marketing. It does not prepare or file anything, does not give tax or accounting advice, and does not review or sign off on work. That all stays with your CPAs.

02Will VERA email my clients without permission?

No. Every request, reminder, letter, and invoice nudge is a draft. Someone at your practice approves, edits, or declines it, and every action is logged.

03How does it help with busy season document chasing?

VERA keeps a live list of what each engagement is still missing and how long it has been outstanding, then drafts an itemized request naming those specific documents. You approve the batch instead of writing them one at a time.

04Can it prepare engagement letters?

It populates the engagement letter your practice already uses with the client, scope, and fee from your onboarding record, then routes it for partner review. The terms and the decision to send remain yours.

05Can it send deadline reminders?

Yes. VERA drafts a dated reminder per client covering what that client still owes you and when, batched so you can review and approve the whole list at once. It reminds; it never files.

06Can it help us sell advisory services?

Yes. VERA flags clients whose engagements suggest a fit for cleanup, monthly close, or planning work and drafts a scope and fee proposal for a partner to review. The recommendation is always a person's call.

07Can our seasonal staff use VERA?

Yes. Growth and larger plans include multiple seats, so your practice manager, preparers, and partners can review and approve work together through the season.

Ready when you are
