Accrual Launches AI Agent Platform Arc
The tax, audit, client accounting, and advisory platform for accounting firms has unveiled Arc, an AI agent platform that allows firms to delegate complex, multi-step work across their existing systems.
Practitioners give Arc an objective, approve its plan, and receive the completed work for review—from Excel workbooks and client reports to analyses and workpapers, the San Francisco-based company says.
Accrual rolled out Arc with 20 agents for common accounting firm workflows, with new agents added each week. Accounting firms can also teach Arc their own processes, save them as reusable agents, share them across teams, and schedule recurring work.
According to Accrual, Arc gathers information it has permission to access, asks questions when something material is unclear, and proposes a plan. Once approved by a practitioner, Arc works across connected systems to combine information, perform calculations, and produce the requested deliverable.
Jobs can run for minutes or hours, with multiple assignments underway at once, Accrual says. Practitioners can move on to other work, then review the results alongside a record of the sources, tools, and actions used to produce them.
