FAQ

Common questions

Does it replace my staff?
It removes the repetitive work so your staff can focus on preparation, review and advisory. Many firms use IHS Flow to get through tax season without seasonal hires.
Which accounting systems do you support?
We connect to popular accounting platforms through OAuth and APIs, and use browser automation or file exports where needed.
Is client financial data secure?
Yes — MFA, encryption, tenant isolation and audit logging on IHS-owned infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II controls.
Can we start with just one workflow?
Absolutely. Most firms start with document collection or AP processing and expand from there.
