For private companies

Technical accounting for private companies

The first audit, a new standard, a lender asking for GAAP financials: GAAP IQ answers the question with page-level citations, then drafts the memo, the schedule, and the policy manual.

First audit

Walk into the first audit documented

The first-year request list asks for positions and support that were never written down. Write them down first: memos with the guidance quoted, schedules the audit team can recompute.

Positions on paper before fieldwork

Describe the transaction in plain words. MemoIQ scopes the issues, drafts each one with the guidance quoted and the analysis cited, and lands a conclusion the file can stand on.

Judgment calls stay yours

Threshold calls pause for you, or autopilot decides and flags each assumption in the margin. Missing facts become open questions that tailor the memo when answered.

Schedules an auditor can recompute

ScheduleIQ extracts the inputs and a deterministic engine computes every number. An auditor recomputing any row gets the same cents, and the final period carries a rounding plug so balances land at exactly zero.

The auditor's markup comes back in

Export to Word, import the returned file, and the comments and tracked changes attach to the matching memo blocks. Your response copy goes back with your edits as redlines.

Standards adoption

ASC 606 and 842, adopted with the guidance open

Adoption questions rarely stay inside one standard. The research engine plans the sweep, crosses standards when the question does, and shows you where the firms disagree.

Research with the sources open

Ask the ASC 606 or ASC 842 question in plain English. Parallel researchers sweep 27 Big 4 handbooks, 33K+ guidance passages across 23 ASC topics, and a verifier checks every citation against its source text before you see the answer.

Every claim opens the handbook

Citations are pills that open the source at the exact page with the supporting text highlighted. When KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte read a judgment area differently, the positions appear side by side.

Follow-ups never count

One question is one research session: tables, pushback, and the fourth follow-up all belong to the same thread, so checking an answer is never rationed.

Two adoption fact patterns are already worked through in the guides: the five-step ASC 606 walk for advisory fees and sales commissions under ASC 340-40.

GAAP financials a lender's diligence can check

Covenants and credit committees read the schedules before the narrative. Every number comes from a deterministic engine, never from a model, so the arithmetic holds up to a recomputation.

Debt schedules that foot

Describe the loan in plain words: bullet, level-payment, or percent-of-principal repayment. The effective-interest walk is computed by a deterministic engine and exports Excel-ready.

Leases under ASC 842, both flavors

Operating leases get straight-line lease cost, finance leases get ROU amortization plus liability interest. Anything the AI defaulted or interpreted is surfaced as an assumption for you to confirm.

Footnotes drafted against the requirements

DisclosureIQ writes the note the way it would appear in the financial statements and returns a requirement-by-requirement checklist: met, needs a detail from you, or not applicable with a reason.

No technical team

No technical hire yet, still a technical file

Controllers at private companies field the hard questions between closes, with no national office to escalate to. GAAP IQ is the escalation path: cited answers, drafted deliverables, a policy manual that versions.

Answers without a consultant engagement

The question you would have parked for the next consultant call gets a cited, verified answer you can interrogate until it holds.

A reviewer for what you drafted yourself

Already wrote the memo? Import the Word file and AI review arrives as tracked changes with Accept and Reject, never silent mutations.

Your first policy manual

A questionnaire pins down your elections, each chapter is drafted with page-level handbook citations, and approvals build a versioned manual. Type a change and it applies in place.

Decision trees for the structured tests

Classification tests arrive as decision trees the preparer walks, so the logic of the call is documented alongside the conclusion.

The tools

Four tools carry the private company file

Every plan includes all seven tools on GAAP IQ. These are the four a private company reaches for first.

Different seat? GAAP IQ also has pages for public companies, advisory firms, and audit teams. The full platform tour is on the AI technical accounting software page.

Pricing

Priced like a tool, not a consultant

Every plan includes all seven tools at full quality (TaxIQ in beta). Ask follow-ups, request tables, push back on an answer: all part of one research session.

FAQ

Common questions

Can GAAP IQ replace a consultant engagement for a private company?

GAAP IQ is a research starting point, not professional advice, and it does not replace the judgment of a qualified professional. What it changes is where an engagement starts: you arrive with a cited answer, a drafted memo, and schedules that foot, instead of a blank request list. Professional is $149 per month, so working a question yourself costs a flat monthly fee, not an hourly rate.

Where does GAAP IQ help with ASC 606 and ASC 842 adoption?

ResearchIQ answers adoption questions with page-level citations across 23 ASC topics, including revenue recognition under ASC 606 and leases under ASC 842. MemoIQ drafts the adoption positions issue by issue with the guidance quoted, and ScheduleIQ computes operating and finance lease amortization schedules with a deterministic engine, so the workbook foots to the penny.

What does it cost?

The Free plan is $0 and includes one full cited research session plus drafts in each tool to try: one memo, one disclosure, one policy, and two schedules. Professional is $149 per month, or $1,490 per year (two months free), with unlimited memos, disclosures, policies, and schedules plus 20 research sessions each month. Enterprise is $399 per month, or $3,990 per year, with unlimited research sessions and priority support. No credit card is required to start.

Will our draft agreements and financials stay confidential?

Your content is isolated to your account, encrypted at rest and in transit, and never used to train AI models. Every AI request carries a zero-data-retention constraint enforced in code, and uploaded documents are automatically deleted 24 hours later. The full posture is on the trust page.

Bring the question your auditor will ask first

The free plan is a one-time trial: one full cited research session, one memo, one disclosure, one policy, and two schedules.
