AI Coach in Action

Real example: Tax code lookup during busy season

"My client operates a consulting business. Does she qualify for the Section 199A deduction?"

Let me help you determine Section 199A eligibility:

Consulting may qualify if it's not a "Specified Service Trade or Business" (SSTB) under IRC §199A(d)(2).

Key factors:

  • Income threshold: Single $191,950 / Joint $383,900 (2024)
  • Type of consulting services provided
  • Whether services rely on client's reputation/skill

💡 From your firm's knowledge: You handled 3 similar consulting clients last year—would you like me to show those positions?

"Yes, show me how we handled similar cases"

Here are 3 consulting clients from 2023 where you took the 199A deduction:

  • TechConsult LLC - Management consulting (qualified)
  • Strategy Partners - Business strategy (qualified)
  • Miller Advisory - Financial consulting (required analysis)

Would you like me to draft the client explanation using your standard template?

Preserve Decades of Tax Expertise

When senior partners retire, decades of complex tax strategies, client precedents, and regulatory workarounds disappear. Perpetual Core captures and preserves your firm's collective accounting wisdom so it compounds over time instead of vanishing.

Without Perpetual Core

Expertise walks out the door

Senior Partners Retire, Tax Wisdom Vanishes

When your tax partner retires, 30 years of multinational tax strategies, obscure deduction techniques, and complex client positions disappear forever. Junior CPAs start from scratch.

Duplicate Research Costs Billable Hours

Each CPA researches the same tax code sections, same client scenarios, same IRS positions that someone else already figured out last year. Hours wasted reinventing the wheel.

Client Precedents Lost in Email Archives

That perfect tax position you took for a similar client 3 years ago? Buried in someone's email. CPAs can't find it, so they miss opportunities or make inconsistent recommendations.

Junior CPAs Take Years to Develop Expertise

New hires spend 5+ years learning complex tax strategies through trial and error. They don't know what senior partners know about navigating audits and difficult client situations.

With Perpetual Core

Expertise compounds forever

Capture Senior Partners' Tax Strategies Forever

Document your top tax partners' approaches to complex multinational structures, estate planning strategies, and IRS audit positions. When they retire, their 30 years of wisdom stays—accessible to everyone, forever.

Every Tax Position Becomes Searchable Precedent

AI indexes every successful tax strategy, client precedent, and regulatory position your firm has taken. Search "Section 199A for professional services" and instantly find 12 examples with IRS outcomes.

Client History at Your Fingertips

Every client's tax positions, planning strategies, and historical decisions instantly searchable. Ensure consistency across years and partners. Never lose context when clients switch CPAs.

Junior CPAs Learn from the Best Immediately

New hires ask AI: "How do we handle cost segregation for real estate clients?" They instantly access your senior partners' approaches, successful strategies, and lessons learned from audits.

Real Example: International Tax Partner

How one firm preserved 35 years of multinational tax expertise

The Situation

Senior tax partner with 35 years experience announced retirement. He specialized in complex multinational corporate tax—transfer pricing, foreign tax credits, GILTI calculations for tech companies with European subsidiaries. His expertise on navigating IRS examinations for international structures, his library of successful tax positions, and his relationships with IRS agents lived in his head and old work papers. The firm was losing their most profitable practice area.

The Solution

Over his final year, he documented everything in Perpetual Core: his transfer pricing methodologies, approaches to foreign tax credit planning, GILTI mitigation strategies, and successful tax positions for dozens of multinational clients. AI indexed his 35 years of client work—tax opinions, planning memos, IRS correspondence, audit defense strategies. He recorded his thinking on complex scenarios and how he'd handled difficult IRS examiners.

The Result

Two years after retirement, the firm's international tax revenue actually increased 28%. How? Three younger partners now had instant access to his 35 years of expertise. They searched his approaches during client consultations, used his planning memos as templates, and followed his IRS audit playbooks. New multinational clients saw the same sophisticated strategies. The firm turned one expert's entire career into permanent institutional knowledge that made everyone better.

"We thought losing our international tax partner would devastate that practice. Instead, Perpetual Core preserved his 35 years of brilliance. Now every CPA can tap into his expertise. It's like he never left."— Managing Partner, Regional CPA Firm
