Accrual Launches Arc: Assign the Work. Review the Results.
Built for accounting firms, Arc works across connected systems to investigate discrepancies, prepare analyses and produce work ready for review.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 22, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accrual today launched Arc, an AI agent platform that lets accounting firms 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.
Arc launches with 20 agents for common accounting firm workflows, with new agents added each week. Firms can also teach Arc their own processes, save them as reusable agents, share them across teams and schedule recurring work.
Accounting software provides defined workflows for tax preparation, audit engagements and recurring client accounting work. But much of a firm’s work falls between those workflows: investigating a recurring discrepancy, pulling together information for a client meeting, responding to a tax notice or answering a partner’s question across several engagements.
That work often starts with a practitioner searching documents, reading client conversations and pulling data from multiple systems. Accrual calls it “the work that has no screen.” Arc gives firms a way to delegate it.
Delegate the work. Review the result.
Arc gathers information it has permission to access, asks questions when something material is unclear and proposes a plan. Once the practitioner approves, 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. Practitioners can move on to other work, then review the results alongside a record of the sources, tools and actions used to produce them.
“The breakthrough isn’t simply giving accountants access to a more capable AI model. It’s giving that model the context, tools, controls and accounting-specific understanding required to do real work,” said Siddarth Chandrasekaran, co-founder and CTO of Accrual.
Teach it once. Use it firmwide.
Firms can teach Arc how they handle tax notices, for example: review the notice against client records and firm templates, identify missing information, ask questions and prepare supporting work after the practitioner approves the plan.
Once they’re satisfied with the process, they save it as an agent for others to use. The next practitioner starts with the firm’s established approach. Teams can also schedule agents to handle recurring work.
