Answer, cited, in minutes
Ask in plain language and get the position tied to the exact section, rule and circular - verified enough to sign, not guessed.
For CA Firms
Do the whole job - research to deliverable - and keep it in the firm.
AI for Chartered Accountants: Research to Deliverable in One Workspace
AI for chartered accountants has to clear a higher bar than general-purpose AI. A chartered accountant signs the opinion, so every conclusion has to be traceable to a section, a circular or a judgment. AskSolique is built for exactly that - research, drafting and firm knowledge in one workspace, with the source attached to every line.
AskSolique is built for how an Indian CA firm actually runs: high volume, tight deadlines, and a reputation that rides on every signed deliverable. It carries the work from the source to the finished note in one workspace.
The work on your desk
The work on your desk
A CA firm doesn't do one thing. In a single day the same team moves between advisory, compliance and representation - and every one of them starts with getting the law right.
- 01
Opinions & advisory
A client asks whether a transaction attracts tax, or how to structure it. You need the position, the section and the case law before you can put your name to a view.
- 02
Notice & assessment replies
A GST or income-tax notice lands with a deadline. You need the counter-position, cited, drafted and defensible - fast, and often for several clients at once.
- 03
Recurring compliance questions
ITC eligibility, TDS rates, place of supply - the same questions come back every week, and re-researching each one from scratch is pure lost time.
The old way
Why the old method fails your firm
- 01
Research eats the billable day
Hours disappear into portals and PDFs before the real advisory work even begins - time you cannot bill at its true value.
- 02
Knowledge walks out the door
The research a senior did last year lives in their head or a lost email. When they leave, the firm re-learns it from zero.
- 03
General AI can't be signed
A chatbot gives a fluent answer with a section number that may not exist. You cannot put that in front of a client - so you verify it all again by hand. See how AskSolique compares to traditional research tools.
- 04
Turnaround loses the client
The client who gets an answer the same day stays. The firm that takes three days to confirm a position quietly loses the relationship.
What standing still costs
What it costs your firm to stand still
Every week the firm runs the old way, it leaves money and margin on the table: senior hours burned on lookup that a junior - or the tool - should handle, deliverables priced on effort instead of value, and knowledge that resets every time someone resigns. Meanwhile the firm down the road that answers the same question in an hour is winning the retainer you were both pitching. Standing still isn't neutral - it is slowly ceding the fast, high-margin work to whoever adopted the better workflow first.
Put a number against each of these for your own firm before you decide. Take the hours a senior spent last month on lookup rather than judgement, multiply by their charge-out rate, and compare it against the cost of the tool. Most firms find the research time on a single recurring compliance question - ITC eligibility, TDS rate, place of supply - already exceeds it.
- Billable hours lost to lookup
- Knowledge that resets on resignation
- Clients won on turnaround by faster firms
The AskSolique way
How a CA firm uses AskSolique
Not a chatbot on the side - the workspace the whole matter runs through, from the first question to the signed note.
Draft in your firm's voice
Turn the cited position into the opinion or notice reply in the Delivery Center, with the citations carried straight through.
A Personalised Knowledge Base that compounds
Every answer your team produces stays searchable inside the firm, so the next person starts where the last one finished.
What you get out of it
More matters, same team
Cut the research time on every deliverable and your existing people take on the next brief instead of the next lookup.
Price on value
Faster, defensible turnaround lets you charge for the judgement, not apologise for the hours.
Sign with confidence
Every answer traces to the source, so what leaves the firm is defensible on audit and in front of the client.
Keep the knowledge
The firm's collective research becomes an asset that stays, instead of leaving with the person.
Why now
The shift is already under way
Across the profession, the firms pulling ahead are not the ones with the most juniors - they are the ones whose seniors spend their time on judgement because the lookup is handled. An AI tax research tool for India is becoming table stakes the way tally and e-filing once did; the question is no longer whether the profession adopts it, but whether your firm is early enough to win the work the late adopters lose. The cost of waiting is measured in the clients and the margin that move, quietly, to whoever moved first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does AI for chartered accountants actually save a firm time?
On the research that sits between the question and the deliverable - finding the provision, checking whether it still reads that way, and pulling the authority behind it. That is the part that eats an afternoon and never appears on the bill.
Does it work for a small practice, or is it built for large firms?
It works at both ends. A sole practitioner gets depth across six tax and regulatory areas that would otherwise mean a specialist referral. A larger firm gets consistency across everyone doing the same kind of work.
Can I use the output directly in a client memo?
Yes - the answer comes with its citations, so it can move into a memo or an opinion with the source already attached. The review and the sign-off remain yours.
Will it help with notice and assessment work?
Yes. Put the facts to it and it works through the position, the provision and the authority you would rely on in a reply, and the reply itself can be drafted on your own letterhead in the same workspace.
What happens to the research once the matter closes?
It stays in your Personalised Knowledge Base, so the next person who gets the same question starts from your firm's earlier answer rather than from nothing.
How is AskSolique different from a general chatbot for a CA firm?
A general chatbot answers from what it absorbed at training time and cannot show you where the answer came from. AskSolique reasons over the maintained Indian corpus, shows the section, circular or judgement verbatim, and keeps the firm's own prior positions available to the next person who needs them.
Built by people who have lived this work
AskSolique is built by a tax & regulatory strategist and a distributed-systems technologist - because a defensible answer needs both deep regulatory judgment and serious engineering underneath.
