Built in the open, by accountants, country by country
The trust layer for people using AI for tax and accounting.
It guesses. Accountants around the world are making sure it stops, by writing the Guides your AI reads and putting their name on the ones they stand behind.

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
RW · PayrollA Guide for calculating employee payroll, PAYE and social contributions in Rwanda.
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
Describe the job
One sentence: “Prepare a Malta VAT return for a small business.”
- 2
Build it with your AI
It drafts a source-cited Guide from your method; you steer and correct it.
- 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.

Start by naming the connector, so your AI knows exactly what to use. Paste this: “Using Open Accountants, please tell me how you can help me, considering what you know about me.”
See what stands behind an answer
Your AI can give an answer. Open Accountants shows what stands behind it.
Every answer can trace back to the Tax Guide used, its authoritative sources, applicable period, current version and professional review record.

The network is growing now. Many jurisdictions and professional areas still have no Guide with a named accountant behind them.
Coverage
The world's Tax Guides still need accountants behind them.
Do not let anonymous AI answers become the new tax authority — every Guide here shows its sources, version, and the named professional behind it.
Choose a country, state or province to see its Guides, their status, and the accountants already writing them.
The interactive map works best on a larger screen. see coverage by country.
