What it does

Cranston is an AI back office that runs on top of the software CPA firms already use, such as QuickBooks, Drake and CCH Axcess. Its AI prepares tax returns, bookkeeping, reconciliations and client requests, tying every figure to a source document, while the firm's reviewers approve the work.
