Why VALID

Taxes take too much work. VALID does the heavy lifting.

  • The rules change every year. 2025 alone changed the rules for tips, overtime, car loans and seniors.
  • IRS letters arrive in code. A notice number, a deadline, and very little plain English.
  • Firms run it by hand. Notices, client emails, engagement letters and billing live in different tools, and much of that work is never billed or recorded.

For CPA and EA firms

Your firm stops doing the busywork.

Drop in an IRS letter or a client email. VALID writes the deadline, the client email and the response letter, and keeps a record of which law was used and who signed. Your licensed staff just review and sign. Notice Desk is live today; client messages, engagement and billing, and the audit trail are being built with founding firms.
