// AI assistance

An AI assistant that knows the working file, supplies citations and drafts submissions

The three tasks that consume the most time in a professional firm — and where AI reliably takes the load today.

Engagement 4711 · audit 2021–2024

Response to tax audit

Draft
  1. Audit request Captured

    Tax audit request · 6 items

  2. Working file Checked

    2021–2024 · 214 documents reviewed

  3. Gaps Identified

    Item 3: evidence missing · item 5: prior year differs

  4. Response With you

    Draft prepared · the assessment is yours

AI note: Item 5 was treated differently in the 2022 accounts — source: notes, page 14.

// Tax audit

The AI searches the working file. You write the assessment.

With an audit request, the effort rarely sits in the professional answer but in assembling it: which documents exist, how was this handled in prior years, what is missing? Upload the working file — including scans. The AI checks the request item by item against the file, names the gaps and presents the draft response.

  • Audit request checked item by item against the working file
  • Deviations from prior-year treatment are flagged
  • Missing evidence is named rather than overlooked
  • OCR for scanned legacy files and paper documents

// Confidentiality

Client data does not belong in a public chat window

§ 203 of the German Criminal Code and tax secrecy leave little room for manoeuvre. Mindverse is built for confidentiality-bound professions from the ground up — not certified after the fact.

Confidentiality preserved

Licensed professionals are bound by confidentiality under § 203 of the German Criminal Code, and client data is covered by tax secrecy. Contracts, access rights and logging are built for that.

Hosting in Germany

Processing in region eu-de in Frankfurt am Main. Sovereign models run entirely on German infrastructure — with no detour through third countries.

Never trained on client data

Financial statements, contracts and correspondence are never used to train AI models. Processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR included.

Access per engagement

Roles and permissions at firm, team and user level: who may see which engagement file and approve which draft is configurable and logged.

The AI does not give tax advice

Providing tax advice commercially is reserved to licensed professionals under § 3 of the German Tax Advisory Act. Mindverse Studio researches, structures and drafts — it does not advise and does not sign. Professional responsibility remains entirely with the firm.

Security in detail

// Mindverse Studio

Your working file becomes the AI's working basis

Contracts, prior-year files and templates already exist. Mindverse Studio makes them searchable — and turns them into the source behind every AI answer.

// Knowledge bases

Engagement files and templates as a reliable source

Add contracts, prior-year accounts, audit reports and template letters as a knowledge base — per engagement or for the whole firm. The AI answers from exactly those documents and cites the source for every statement.

  • Answers with a citation instead of general internet knowledge
  • Access controlled separately per engagement, team or firm
  • OCR and full-text search across scanned legacy files

// Automation

Deadlines and series correspondence as a workflow

Deadline reminders, requests for missing documents or client bulletins about a change in the law are defined once as a workflow. Every draft passes an approval step before it is sent — nothing leaves the firm unchecked.

  • Visual workflow builder with human-in-the-loop
  • Triggered on a schedule or by an event
  • Event logs for every run — documented and traceable

// Areas of use

Where professional firms work with Mindverse

From the annual accounts to the tax audit — wherever documents have to become text and evidence.

// Background

AI in professional firms: what actually holds up today

Not automated advice but cited groundwork is where language models stand up against professional regulation.

The skills shortage has reached professional firms

Engagements grow, new entrants to the profession do not, and the deadlines do not move regardless. AI does not replace licensed professionals, but it takes text production off the firm: the response, the letter, the notes, the file memo. The content editor supplies the draft; the assessment stays with the professional.

The working file is the real body of knowledge

What actually defines an engagement sits in your own documents: contracts, prior-year treatments, audit reports, correspondence. As a knowledge base that body becomes searchable — and the AI answers questions about the engagement from it, with a citation. That is what separates a usable assistant from a chatbot with general knowledge.

Without a citation, a tax statement is unusable

A plausible-sounding but wrong statement about a deadline or an election is a liability risk. That is why Mindverse Studio works against your own body of documents by preference and shows what an answer rests on. Anything unsupported is flagged as unsupported — not embellished.

Reserved work stays reserved work

Providing tax advice is reserved to licensed professionals under § 3 of the German Tax Advisory Act — no language model changes that. The workable path is therefore not automated advice but cited groundwork with human approval: exactly the model that workflows with human-in-the-loop implement.

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions about AI in tax advisory

Does the AI replace tax advice?
No — and it is not allowed to. Providing tax advice commercially is reserved to licensed professionals under § 3 of the German Tax Advisory Act. Mindverse Studio does not give tax advice: it researches, structures, summarises and drafts text. The professional assessment, the advice to the client and the signature stay with you. That is precisely why the platform exposes the source behind every statement instead of hiding it.
What about professional confidentiality and tax secrecy?
Tax advisors are bound by professional confidentiality under § 203 of the German Criminal Code, and client data is additionally covered by tax secrecy. Mindverse Studio runs on servers in Germany, we sign a processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR, and your content is never used to train AI models. With sovereign models the language model also stays on German infrastructure — no third-country transfer along the processing path.
Can the AI work with our client files?
Yes. Contracts, financial statements, audit reports and correspondence go into a knowledge base — including scans, text recognition handles the rest. The AI answers questions about the engagement from exactly those documents and cites the source for every statement. Access can be restricted per engagement and per team.
Does AI help with research into official guidance and case law?
For analysing it, yes; for inventing it, no. Add the administrative guidance, commentary and decisions relevant to your engagements as a knowledge base — the AI searches that body, summarises and points to the source. Anything not in there is flagged as unsupported rather than plausibly written out. For open research, AI research with cited sources is also available.
How does AI support a tax audit?
Audit requests can be checked against the working file: which documents exist, which are missing, how was an item treated in prior years? The AI reviews the file, orders it chronologically and drafts the response with references to the underlying documents. You review the assessment and sign — the audit strategy remains your decision.
Does this work for client correspondence too?
Yes, and that is often where the biggest time gain sits. Recurring questions about deadlines, documents and assessments are classified and answered as a draft based on your templates and the engagement file. Series communication — for instance about a change in the law — can be prepared as a workflow with an approval step.
Is this suitable for smaller firms?
Yes. You can start with individual seats and move to team features later: shared knowledge bases, roles and permissions, audit logs and single sign-on. See Teams & Companies for how this works in larger units.
What does it cost for a firm?
Mindverse Studio starts at €19 per user and month; Team and Enterprise plans add governance features, sovereign models and SSO. You can try it free for 7 days without a credit card — full details on the pricing page. For law firms there is a dedicated product, AnwaltGPT.
