Challenges we remove

The roadblocks holding accounting firms teams back

Lockdale is designed to sit inside your environment so every bottleneck is addressed without adding compliance risk.

  • 80-hour weeks during tax season burning out your best people
  • Missing deductions that larger firms' software would catch
  • Manually entering data from hundreds of financial documents
  • Struggling to keep up with constantly changing tax codes
  • Risking client trust by using public AI for sensitive financial data
Workflows we stand up first

How accounting firms teams use Lockdale day-to-day
