You didn’t spend 15 busy seasons
to chase a missing 1099 from a client at midnight.
Workpaper prep, source-document cleanup, tax research memos — a done-for-you service. You apply the judgment and sign the return. We do the stacking, sorting, tick-marking, and drafting. That’s the 10% that matters. We handle the other 90%.
Problem → Plan → Solution. You describe what you need, we respond with a detailed plan, and if you say go, we build the solution.
No credit card. The Plan delivered in 5 business days.

Not another satisfying tool. Not another agency.
Handled is a new model: Results as a Service. You don’t need another tool to learn. You don’t need another person to manage. You need the finished result — delivered and ready to use.

Handled
What we handle
Your problems. Our expertise.
Summaries & Briefs
An 80-page document, back as a 2-page brief. The risks, the deadlines, the buried action items — surfaced and put on top so you don’t have to read the whole thing.
Drafts & Documents
Polished writing in your voice — one careful document, or fifty personalized emails by tomorrow morning. You describe; we draft; we refine until it sounds like you wrote it.
Tools & Systems
A renewal calendar that pings you before deadlines slip. A Monday briefing that writes itself from your data. A client tracker that flags who’s gone quiet. Built for the way you actually work.
Research & Analysis
“What should I do about X?” You ask. We come back with the options, the trade-offs, and the data you need to decide — sources cited. Days, not weeks.
Data & Insights
500 messy rows in. Categorized, flagged, and summarized out. The boring sorting and pattern-finding — done. You get the answer, not the spreadsheet.
Built for the CPA's desk
Workpaper prep, source-document cleanup, transaction recoding, IRS-notice replies, tax research memos, recurring CAS reporting — the work that fills the hours between the work that requires your signature.
“Clients send transactions in messy spreadsheets with no categories. Sorting 500 line items takes half a day.”
Categorized spreadsheet with flagged anomalies and missing info
Saves 4-6 hours
“Every audit ends with a management letter. You’ve written hundreds, but each one still takes 3-4 hours to personalize.”
Personalized letter based on audit findings, in firm’s format
Saves 3-4 hours
“Clients call with complex tax questions. The research takes hours, and they want a clear answer with citations.”
Memo with analysis, IRS citations, comparable situations, options
Saves 3-5 hours
“New regulations come out every quarter. Translating them into client-friendly language is tedious but necessary.”
Plain-language summary with impact analysis by client type
Saves 2-3 hours
“Every new client means a different set of documents to track. The onboarding process is different every time.”
Intake form + document checklist + progress tracking
Saves Hours per new client
How Handled compares
| Competitor | Starting price | Best for | How Handled differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Karbon | $59/user/mo (Team, annual) | Firms wanting practice management with email, tasks, and client workflow in one place | A practice-management platform your team operates. Handled doesn’t manage your practice — we do the downstream work inside whatever system you use. |
| TaxDome | $800/user/yr (Essentials, 1-year) | Solo and small firms wanting client portal, e-sign, CRM, and billing in one subscription | A client-portal and workflow suite. Handled produces the deliverables that flow through portals like TaxDome — the actual workpapers, memos, and cleanup. |
| Canopy | $150/mo base + $45/user/mo (Starter, annual) | Firms wanting modular practice management plus tax-resolution tools | A modular platform the firm configures and runs. Handled is the human layer that fills it — workpaper prep, document wrangling, research — on a flat monthly fee. |
| ChatGPT Plus | $20/mo | Generic AI for drafting, summarizing, and brainstorming | A chat window you prompt. Handled returns finished, human-reviewed deliverables with IRC citations and tick-marked workpapers, not a first-draft conversation. |
| Handled | From $1,500/mo | Done-for-you service | We deliver, you approve |
Client stories
What our clients say
Stories from real professionals
In March I sent them a client’s 47-PDF email and a Lacerte export. Twenty-four hours later I had renamed workpapers, a missing-items list, and a draft income summary cross-referenced to page numbers. I’ve hired seasonal help that couldn’t do that in a week.

What Handled is not
Not a chatbot you have to learn.
No prompting, no training, no “try a better prompt.”
Not a scope document.
No project briefs, no Gantt charts, no status calls.
Not a Zoom meeting.
If we need a call to start, we failed. (Exception: Premium tier includes 2 live hours/month if you want them.)
Not a replacement for your audit opinion or tax signature.
The final return, report, and opinion are yours. We don’t sign off. You do.
Not AI slop.
Everything that leaves our shop is reviewed by a human before you see it.
Your first request is free.
No credit card. No commitment. First iteration back in 5 business days — keep iterating with us until you sign off. The only way to understand what “handled” means is to have something handled.
How the subscription works.
Two things make the subscription work the way it does. Both are deliberate.
Throw as many problems at us as you have.
We work on up to three at a time. Close one, the next starts. Don't dole them out — bring everything that's stuck. One problem usually surfaces the next; that's how this works best.
Pay only when we're working.
You pay while we're actively building or refining. When you sign off and nothing's in flight, payment stops automatically — no cancel button to find, no annual lock-in.
A typical year ends up closer to $6,000than $18,000 — because you only pay on the months we're working.
- 1Tell us your problem.You get the Plan in 5 business days. Free. No credit card.
- 2Say go.The subscription starts. Bring us up to three problems at once — we work on all of them.
- 3You sign off.When everything's signed off and nothing's in flight, billing pauses automatically.
- 4Open a new one anytime.A new request resumes the subscription for as long as we’re building. Refining is included — unlimited iterations until you sign off.
- 5Forever after.Anything we built that stops doing what we said it would, we fix free. Lifetime guarantee, no active subscription required.
