SAM for CPA Firms

Client Confidentiality. Protected by Hardware.

Your clients entrust you with their most sensitive financial information. Cloud AI puts that trust at risk. SAM runs on your hardware, in your office — tax returns, financial statements, and client data never leave your possession.

The Problem

Every accounting firm wants AI for tax prep, reconciliation, and client reporting. But cloud AI creates unacceptable risks:

  • Client tax returns and financial statements uploaded to third-party servers
  • SSNs, EINs, and bank account data exposed to vendor infrastructure
  • No guarantee cloud provider won't use your client data for training
  • Peer Review compliance requires demonstrable data controls
  • Potential violation of AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Rule 1.700

The SAM Solution

SAM is a local-first AI assistant that runs on a Mac mini in your office. Your client data stays on your hardware:

  • Tax returns and financials read locally — never uploaded anywhere
  • Local LLMs handle routine analysis with zero internet exposure
  • QuickBooks integration pulls data directly — no cloud middleman
  • Hardware-attested security via Apple Secure Enclave
  • Complete audit trail satisfying Peer Review requirements

Built for Accounting Compliance

SAM's architecture is designed to satisfy the regulatory and professional standards that govern accounting practice.

📊

AICPA Professional Conduct

Rule 1.700 requires confidentiality of client information. SAM keeps all client data on your hardware — no third-party exposure, no vendor risk.

🔍

Peer Review Compliance

Demonstrate to reviewers that your technology stack maintains client data controls. SAM's audit trail shows exactly what was accessed, when, and by whom.

🏛️

State CPA Board Rules

Most state boards require safeguards for client financial information. Local-first processing with hardware attestation exceeds the standard of care.
