Tally, the green accountant of the family

Hi, I'm Tally, the accountant of the AI Solutions family. Built for small practices and sole traders.

Accounting work with local AI agents.

Prepare, check and explain figures using AI running on your own computer. Keep your documents where they belong. Review every answer before you accept it.

  • Local-first processing - no blanket upload of your books
  • Evidence-led answers with sources you can trace
  • Always-on guardrails; you stay in control

The AI Solutions system

Agents that do the prep. You keep the judgement.

Each agent has a clear role. None is built to replace your accountant. They reduce manual work, surface gaps and help you explain your numbers with confidence.

Your accounting assistant

Find answers in your files, prepare working summaries and bring supporting records together. Flag missing information, duplicates and mismatches for review instead of hiding them in a confident answer.

Verification and consolidation

Bring the books and supporting documents into one review workflow. Cross-check figures against their sources, surface differences and prepare a consolidation summary for the accountant to check.

Your always-on technical agent

Keep an eye on the local service, flag failed tasks and help with approved maintenance. Always-on means the host computer is switched on, awake and running the agents. It is not an uptime guarantee.

Your protective security agent

A defensive, white-hat agent for your own system: check for warning signs, flag risky settings and help you review access. It supports good security practice; it does not make the computer unhackable. Testing or changes need permission.

How information flows.

A clear, auditable flow. Local documents stay local. Remote access is optional and authenticated.

Sample conversation and workflow labels. No real documents, amounts or client records are shown.

Start with one useful workflow.

  1. 1

    Choose the work

    We look at one repetitive task, the documents it needs and what a good result looks like.

  2. 2

    Check the setup

    We agree the hardware, local processing, access permissions and any remote connection before sensitive files are used.

  3. 3

    Review the output

    You test the assistant's work, check the evidence and agree what it may do without asking.

  4. 4

    Keep control

    Use clear approvals, activity records and a way to pause the agents. Expand only when the first workflow earns its place.

Clear answers before you connect anything.

Do my documents leave the computer?

In the local-first setup, original documents and document processing stay on client hardware. Phone access can transmit requests, status or results you choose to view. Cloud connectors, backups or external AI services would change the data flow and must be agreed separately.

Can I use it from my phone?

Yes, through the remote-access setup agreed for your computer. The host must be on, awake and connected. Access should be authenticated; the computer must not be exposed through an unauthenticated public endpoint.

Does it replace my accountant or accounting software?

No. It assists with preparation and review. Your accountant remains responsible for the final judgement, and any connection to existing accounting software is a separate part of the setup.

What does the protective agent guarantee?

No system can guarantee that it will never be compromised. The protective agent helps check and flag risks; access controls, updates, backups and human review still matter.

Can I see it before committing?
