AI Closed the Books. Who Reviewed the Accounting?
Your AI accounting platform prepares the month-end close. But complex U.S. GAAP judgments still deserve experienced attention. CountHaus provides a separate CPA perspective on defined areas of AI-prepared accounting—without replacing your existing software.
The books may be closed. The questions are not.
AI can accelerate accounting workflows, but a finished close is not proof that every significant treatment is appropriate under U.S. GAAP.
A Close Can Look Complete
Reconciled-looking reports may still include unsupported balances, incomplete schedules, or entries that deserve closer attention.
GAAP Requires Judgment
Revenue contracts, equity awards, financing terms, and significant estimates can require analysis beyond automated transaction processing.
Founders Need Clarity
Management needs to understand significant accounting conclusions—even when the underlying workflows are handled by software.
CPA oversight where the accounting gets complicated.
CountHaus reviews selected accounting matters in your AI-prepared close and documents findings and recommended corrections. Work is tailored to the size and complexity of your business.

CountHaus does not sell or replace your AI accounting system. We provide nonattest CPA advisory over defined accounting matters. This is not a financial statement audit or review, and it does not certify the entire close as GAAP compliant. Management retains responsibility for the books and financial statements.
How We Work
Define the Scope
Identify your AI platform, accounting systems, reporting needs, and the significant areas to be assessed.
Evaluate the Accounting
Inspect agreed records, schedules, entries, and relevant documentation against applicable U.S. GAAP requirements.

Provide observations, recommended adjustments, and explanations for management to consider and approve.
Your AI platform stays. Your oversight gets stronger.
Choose a one-time assessment or a recurring CPA advisory cadence. The scope is based on your accounting complexity, system access, close deliverables, and the areas you want evaluated.
Project-based or recurring. CountHaus is not required to run your bookkeeping or replace your existing accounting team.
Discuss CPA OversightDo we need to switch AI accounting platforms?
No. CountHaus works alongside your existing software and accounting process. The engagement depends on access to the records and reports needed for the agreed assessment.
Does CountHaus perform the month-end bookkeeping?
Not as part of this service. The premise is that your existing team or AI accounting platform prepares the books. CountHaus separately assesses specified accounting areas.
Will you review every transaction and guarantee GAAP compliance?
No. Work is limited to the procedures and accounting areas defined in the engagement. We do not provide blanket assurance, certify the entire close, or guarantee the absence of errors.
Is this an audit or financial statement review?
No. This is nonattest CPA consulting, not an audit, examination, or financial statement review engagement. No assurance conclusion or audit opinion is issued.
Can this be a recurring monthly service?
Yes. Depending on your needs, CountHaus can provide a monthly advisory cadence or a one-time assessment focused on specific areas of accounting complexity.
