Guides, workflows and accountability

Open Guides. Cited sources. Human accountability.

OpenAccountants gives software and AI visible, source-cited Tax Guides instead of asking them to rely only on training data. Workflows help apply that knowledge. Named accountants review and maintain the public Guides, and review user-specific work where needed.

The four steps

1

OpenAccountants prepares the Tax Guides

Source-cited Tax Guides are drafted for every jurisdiction, with each figure traced to its authority.

2

Partners review the complete Guides

Accounting professionals review a full displayed Guide against its sources, submit corrections and may take ongoing responsibility for selected Guides.

3

OpenAccountants versions and publishes them

Accepted reviews become structured records, machine-readable files, public diffs and current releases.

4

People and AI retrieve what is relevant

People, software and the AI you already use reach the same maintained Guides — on the website, on GitHub, or added straight to your AI.
