Talisman is a platform made up of multiple purpose-built tools, each automating a specific part of the accounting workflow. Individually, these tools map to familiar tasks accountants already perform. Together, they create compounding efficiency across the entire close because the close is a sequence of interconnected steps—not isolated actions.
- Accounting firms are limited on growth: overworked teams and talent shortages keep firms from scaling effectively.
- Generic automation falls short: plug‑ins don’t adapt to client nuance; 30‑40% of work stays manual.
- The “gray zone” is where time disappears: uncategorized transactions, missing docs, suspense items, client follow‑ups.
- Evidence gap: scattered documents and workpapers create audit risk.
Result: slow closes, burnt‑out teams, and stalled advisory revenue.
