Tools for accountants.
Public-practice and in-house accountants. The stack centres on the general ledger, e-signature for engagement letters, and an automation layer for repeatable client work.
"The accountant's stack lives or dies by audit-trail integrity. Every tool earns its seat by improving traceability, not by saving keystrokes."
