## Description

Cranston is an AI tax and accounting platform designed for CPA firms. It prepares federal and state returns inside the tax software firms already use, including Drake, Lacerte, CCH Axcess, UltraTax, and ProSeries, so teams can keep their existing systems and file from them. Cranston reads client documents, checks them against prior-year records, identifies missing or incorrect items, and drafts follow-up requests. It enters and calculates returns, links figures to their source documents, and prepares consistent workpapers for reviewer approval.

The platform supports individual and business returns, including Forms 1065, 1120, and 1120-S, with tools for trial-balance ties, proposed book-to-tax adjustments, K-1 packages, and carryforwards. Additional services include tax planning, tax research with citations, and bookkeeping. Cranston also works with TaxDome, Gmail, and QuickBooks. Reviewers retain control: Cranston does not send or file work until approved. The company describes security measures including encryption, role-based access, audit logs, and isolated firm workspaces. Tax preparation is priced at $40 per prepared return, with other services priced by consultation.
