Frequently asked questions: Tax and accounting research assistant

The assistant draws on the French General Tax Code (CGI), the official public finance bulletins (BOFiP) and administrative guidance, and connects to your specialist legal subscriptions.

The answers are reasoned and sourced. They provide a solid working basis, to be confirmed by an expert as soon as the financial stakes become significant.

Sources are refreshed regularly. The assistant shows the date each cited text was last updated, so the currency of the information can be checked.

Yes, the scope extends to employment and social security questions by adding the corresponding sources to its knowledge base.

-65% production time

Automated financial reporting

Producing periodic financial reports (monthly dashboards, management reporting, summaries for the executive committee) keeps controllers busy aggregating and formatting rather than analysing. APQC benchmarks put the median time to produce monthly consolidated statements at 6 calendar days, and more than 10 days for the bottom quartile.

Under €3 per invoice processed

Automated supplier invoice processing

Processing a supplier invoice by hand costs between €12 and €16 all in, across data entry, account coding, matching with the purchase order and chasing approvals. Industry benchmarks put automated processing below €3. As volumes grow, repetitive data entry occupies accounting teams who would be better placed handling exceptions.

-75% reconciliation time

Automated bank reconciliation

Reconciling bank statements with accounting entries takes several hours per account each month, and more again at high volumes. AICPA estimates put the error rate of manual processing at between 1 and 8% of transactions, and unresolved differences delay the close.
