AI assistant for accounting firms
Soraban was founded in 2021 by Enoch Ko (Founder).
Soraban's building an intelligent admin assistant for accounting firms. Our AI is first automating the client data intake process and data entry into legacy accounting software.
We are looking for ambitious people to build the best piece of software for accountants.
Soraban is an AI-powered admin assistant designed specifically for accounting and tax firms to automate and streamline administrative workflows, particularly client data intake and document collection. Its platform reduces manual entry and administrative tasks by about half, enabling accounting professionals to focus more on advisory work rather than repetitive busywork. Soraban serves CPA firms and tax professionals primarily in North America, including some of the fastest-growing CPA firms such as YourBottomLine and DarkHorse CPAs. The company’s mission is to eliminate manual busywork that drains accounting teams and limits firm capacity, thereby increasing efficiency and client satisfaction through AI-driven automation[1][2][3][5].
Soraban was founded in 2021 by Enoch Ko, a software engineer with a background in tax accounting and experience consulting for large enterprises and startups. Initially focused on complex web applications, Ko pivoted Soraban to address the broader challenge of administrative inefficiencies in tax firms. The idea emerged from firsthand experience with the burdensome manual processes in accounting workflows. Early traction came from participation in Y Combinator’s Winter 2021 batch, which helped validate the platform’s security and market fit. Since then, Soraban has grown to over 25 employees and expanded its product suite while securing Series A funding led by Altos Ventures to scale further[1][3][4][5].
Soraban rides the growing trend of AI and robotic process automation (RPA) in professional services, particularly accounting, where labor shortages and rising demand create pressure to optimize workflows. The timing is critical as firms face talent shortages and increasing client expectations for digital, seamless experiences. Soraban’s focus on automating the “work before the work” — client data intake and admin coordination — addresses a neglected but crucial layer in accounting workflows. This positions Soraban as a key enabler of digital transformation in accounting, helping firms modernize operations, reduce overhead, and improve client satisfaction. Its integration with legacy tax software also bridges the gap between traditional tools and modern AI-driven automation, influencing the broader ecosystem by setting new standards for efficiency and client collaboration[2][3][6].
Looking ahead, Soraban is poised to expand its AI capabilities across more tax and accounting workflows, leveraging its Series A funding to scale adoption beyond its current 300+ firms. Trends shaping its journey include increasing automation in professional services, demand for remote-friendly solutions, and the push for better client experiences through technology. Soraban’s influence may grow as it helps redefine how accounting firms manage administrative tasks, shifting the industry toward higher productivity and less manual chaos. Its continued innovation in AI-driven workflow automation could make it a foundational platform in the accounting tech stack, enabling firms to grow capacity without proportional increases in headcount or operational complexity[3][6].
