AI is changing how tax expertise is discovered. Build your position before the new professional layer is already established. Build a Guide →

What you build

Turn one job you know into a Guide with your name on it.

Describe an accounting job you do every week. Your AI drafts it into a source-cited Guide, you steer it, and it publishes under your name — then other accountants attest to it and AI puts it to work.

Rwanda Payroll

Authored by Cettina Vella, CPA
1,240 uses through AI
2 accountants attest
2025 · v4 · Rwanda Income Tax Act, Art. 47

Illustrative example.

One Guide, and your name starts working for you.

  • Distribution you can’t buy

    Every answer an AI builds from your Guide puts your name in front of someone who’d never have found you. Reach no ad spend buys.

  • A founding legacy

    A permanent place in the professional layer AI now runs on, staked before the category fills up. The knowledge carries your name for good.

  • Standing you can prove

    Named colleagues attest to your work. A public, verifiable record of expertise you can put in front of any client.

  • Upside as it grows

    The accountants behind the Guides people rely on are first in line for what comes next: paid work, commercial terms, a stake in what they helped build.

How you build one

Describe a job. The AI drafts it. You publish it.

  1. 1

    Describe the job

    One sentence: “Prepare a Malta VAT return for a small business.”

  2. 2

    Build it with your AI

    It drafts a source-cited Guide from your method; you steer and correct it.

  3. 3

    Publish under your name

    It goes live credited to you. Then invite accountants to attest to it.

What we built

Accountant-written Tax Guides, inside the AI you already use.

Open Accountants is free to add to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other AI tools. Add it once, and your AI draws its tax answers from the open Tax Library: source-cited, versioned, and showing exactly which accountant wrote each one.

Nothing to download. Add one address to the AI you already use, sign in once when it asks (free), ask it a tax question, and see the difference for yourself, before you write a single Guide.

Wire it into your AI in about two minutes

Pick your AI, paste the address, done in about two minutes.
