Overview
A CPA Bot agent logged into brokerage and Venmo accounts, downloaded statements, classified expenses, matched receipts, and prepared TurboTax amendment instructions.
Workflow
The user granted a custom 'CPA Bot' agent login access to Vanguard, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Venmo, accounting software, and Evernote. The agent autonomously downloaded hundreds of statements, compared 2024 tax returns against IRS records, identified duplicate charges and misclassifications, matched Lowe's receipts, traced transfers, and categorized rental expenses into repairs versus improvements. It also processed over 5,000 Evernote notes, tagging scanned receipts and organizing property deeds. The human role involved granting initial access and reviewing the agent's findings, though specific oversight steps are not detailed in the source.
Reported result
The agent reportedly saved the user over 100 hours and identified missed interest on a Morgan Stanley 1099 before an IRS notice was issued. It generated step-by-step TurboTax amendment instructions and ready-to-import fix files for accounting software. The user claims the agent organized finances more thoroughly than a human CPA. However, these outcomes are based on a single user's testimonial without independent verification or detailed metrics on error rates.

Try it
Act as a financial cleanup agent. I will provide read-only access to one brokerage account (e.g., [replaceable: Vanguard/Fidelity]) and one payment app (e.g., [replaceable: Venmo]). First, download statements for [replaceable: last 12 months]. Second, compare these against my existing tax records to identify discrepancies like missed interest or duplicate charges. Third, categorize expenses into 'repairs' vs 'improvements' for any rental properties. Output a JSON report listing discrepancies, suggested corrections, and a step-by-step guide for amending my tax return. Do not execute any changes. Before proceeding, ask me to confirm the scope and provide the necessary credentials securely. Start with a dry run on [replaceable: one month of data] to verify accuracy.
