For CPAs & forensic accountants
Spend the engagement on judgment, not matching.
You already know where trust-account engagements go: days rebuilding three-way tie-outs in spreadsheets before the real analysis can even start. OAE Trust Resolution does the mechanical verification deterministically, so your hours go to the findings, the questions, and the opinion.
The problem
Where trust-account engagements actually lose money
- The tie-out tax. Reconciling bank, trust book, and client ledgers for every month of the period is days of low-value matching, billed at a rate the client resents or eaten at a rate you resent.
- Spreadsheet workpapers are fragile. A formula edit, a pasted-over cell, an undocumented adjustment, and suddenly your workpapers can’t explain themselves to a reviewer or a disciplinary board.
- Capacity is capped by drudgery. Every engagement that takes a week of manual reconciliation is an engagement you can’t take during the busy season.
What you get
Time back, capacity up, and a deliverable built to be examined
Deterministic three-way reconciliation
The tie-outs that eat days happen in minutes. The engine verifies bank ↔ trust book ↔ client ledgers for every month in the period; you review exceptions instead of building matches.
Rule-cited findings in severity & confidence lanes
Negative client balances, checks to cash, stale balances, commingling signals. Each arrives citing the rule it tests. You triage by what matters instead of re-deriving why an item is a problem.
Append-only decision log with required rationale
Your professional judgment is documented as you exercise it. Every accept, waive, or escalate carries a written reason and can never be silently edited. The workpapers build themselves as you decide.
SHA-256 evidence custody
Every figure in your report traces to a hashed source file. When a reviewer or regulator asks “where did this number come from?”, the answer is a click, not an archaeology project.
Attorney question packets & secure response portal
Open items become structured packets the attorney answers in one secure place. No inbox threads, no “see my earlier email.” The inquiry trail is part of the engagement record.
Cryptographically hashed audit package
Deliver a package whose integrity can be independently verified. If it’s ever questioned, months or years later, the hashes prove nothing changed after you signed off.
- Reproducible by design: the same evidence always yields the same result, so your conclusions can be re-derived, not just re-asserted.
- New Jersey rule pack with cited authorities is live today; the engine is data-driven per state and more states are rolling out.
- Flat price per review: one trust-account engagement, one price, so you can quote engagements with a known cost. See pricing
