Designed for sensitive work

Your documents remain your documents.

Private storage, protected document text, separate client workspaces, short-lived file access, and a record of every upload, open, and delete.

Separate by client

Engagements never share documents or conversations.

Traceable by design

Answers cite the source; actions appear in the audit trail.

Your model, your choice

Use built-in AI, your API keys, or a model running locally.

Bring clarity to the work behind every number.

Start a private workspace for your next client, return, reconciliation, or research question.
