AI security in accounting
More than half of accounting professionals use AI in their work, but many firms still lack data guidelines to match. Kintsugi builds security into sales tax compliance by default and focuses on transparency around how customer and client data is managed, protected, and handled when something goes wrong.
Kintsugi's approach includes independently verified SOC 2 Type II certification and AES-256 encryption.
New integrations
Kintsugi introduced a Bill.com integration that delivers automated, jurisdiction-accurate tax on every invoice.
Bulk exemption certificate management
Premium customers can upload up to 3,000 exemption certificates at once in a range of formats. Kintsugi's OCR and AI catalog-backed validation helps sort, verify, and match each certificate to the right customer and jurisdiction.
Teams can also request certificates from customers with one click, track each request, and send automated reminders before certificates expire.
Customer success: Free to Grow CFO
Free to Grow CFO serves CPG brands in ecommerce and retail. As its client base grew, sales tax complexity pulled staff away from advisory work. Kintsugi's customer support and human-in-the-loop automation helped the firm support clients across borders while saving time.
Ask Kintsugi
Nonprofits and government entities are often exempt on qualifying purchases, but exemptions are not automatic or universal. Each state can require its own certificate, form, and expiration rules, so exempt customers should provide the required documentation before an audit.
Government notices can be filing confirmations, payment acknowledgments, account updates, penalty assessments, or audit requests. Review them quickly: Kintsugi Mail can receive and scan tax-authority mail, preserve a digital record, and surface urgent items.
