Use cases

Account analysis and anomaly flagging

Automatic detection of unusual entries, duplicates, inter-account inconsistencies. AI presents anomalies; the collaborator decides.

Client summary notes drafting

First draft of monthly or annual summary notes from firm data. AI handles formatting and tone and brings out the key points. The accountant validates and personalizes.

Automated tax and social monitoring

Weekly synthesis of changes to the French Tax Code, DGFiP positions, Conseil d'État rulings. Filtered to your client sectors.

AML compliance support

Help drafting client risk assessments, alerts on atypical transactions, Tracfin reports preparation. AI prepares the file; the decision remains the firm's.

Ethics and regulatory framework

Accounting professional secrecy and duty to advise

Accountants are bound by secrecy on client information. Transmission to a third-party LLM without precaution may trigger disciplinary liability (CNCC, OEC). An EU-hosted model combined with data anonymisation lets the firm justify its choices before its professional body.

AML and vigilance duty

AI can speed up flagging of atypical transactions but does not replace human analysis and Tracfin reporting decisions. Any solution must produce an auditable decision trail.

What we don't do

  • Bookkeeping: that's your expertise. AI supports the analysis and leaves the bookkeeping to you.
  • Issuing accountant attestations: they require the accountant's personal signature, which engages their liability and cannot be delegated.
  • Statutory audit missions: reserved for auditors registered with the H3C.
  • Personalized client tax advice: decision and signature stay with your firm.
  • Final Tracfin reporting decision: discretion remains with the firm, AI does not decide for you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use ChatGPT to analyse a client FEC? +

Yes, with precautions. A FEC contains sensitive client info covered by secrecy. Solutions: strictly anonymise before sending, use an EU contracted instance (Mistral, Claude via EU Bedrock), or process locally with Ollama. We help you choose the option suited to your files and put it in place.

Is the training OPCO-eligible? +

Qualiopi certification (certificate QUA009472) grants access to OPCO EP funding (Atlas for accounting). Actual support depends on participant status and on the funding body’s decision. All required documentation is provided.
