The accountant shortage ends here

Your books close
while you sleep

Torch is AI bookkeeping built by a chartered accountant, not a software engineer who read a blog post. Real accounting intelligence. Continuous reconciliation. Books that are always audit-ready.

300K+ CPA shortage in the US
97% Categorization accuracy
24/7 Continuous reconciliation

The profession is breaking. Most AI "fixes" make it worse.

Every AI accounting tool promises automation. Few understand what accountants actually need. Torch was built from inside the profession, not outside looking in.

The shortage

300,000 CPAs are retiring. Nobody's replacing them.

Fewer graduates, more complexity, same deadlines. The math doesn't work without AI that actually understands accounting.

The bolt-on problem

Most tools add AI to old workflows. That's backwards.

Bolting machine learning onto legacy bookkeeping software is like putting a jet engine on a horse cart. You need AI-native architecture.

The trust gap

Business owners don't trust black-box AI with their books.

And they shouldn't. Torch shows its work, explains its reasoning, and flags anything it isn't confident about.


Three steps to books that run themselves

01

Connect your accounts

Link your bank feeds, QuickBooks, or Xero. Torch reads your chart of accounts and learns your business in minutes.

02

AI categorizes and reconciles

Every transaction is categorized, matched, and reconciled continuously. Not once a month. Not once a week. Always.

03

Review and close

Month-end close drops from days to hours. Torch surfaces only the items that need your judgment. Everything else is handled.

An accountant built this. You can tell.

Two decades of running accounting operations at scale. From Accenture's global outsourcing practice to CPA firm growth consulting. Every design decision comes from lived experience.

GL

General ledger fluent

Not a generic ML model. Torch understands debits, credits, accruals, and the nuance between "office supplies" and "computer equipment."

CA

Chartered accuracy

Built to ICAS standards. Every categorization is auditable. Every reconciliation shows its reasoning. No black boxes.

RT

Real-time dashboards

Cash position, P&L, AR/AP aging, all live. No more waiting for the monthly PDF that's already two weeks stale.

SC

Scales with you

Whether you're a solo CPA managing 30 clients or a firm with 500, Torch adapts. Multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-everything.


The future of accounting isn't less human. It's less tedious.

Torch handles the repetitive work so accountants can do what they're actually trained for: advising businesses, spotting risks, and building wealth.
