“A game-changer for our technical accounting team — I don't know how I'd work without it.”

Contract analysis and memo drafting
We use Gaapio's contract analysis constantly for new lease agreements, and it writes most of our technical accounting memos — including our ASC 606 revenue recognition memos and any complex, one-off technical issues that come up.
The memos come out structured, well-supported, and grounded in actual ASC guidance, so we're not starting from a blank page and we're not second-guessing whether the references are real.
Complex M&A and purchase accounting
This is where Gaapio really earned its keep. We closed multiple acquisitions this year with complicated purchase price accounting and complex earnout arrangements.
We were able to upload the stock purchase agreements and the valuation reports prepared by our specialists, and have Gaapio review the valuation reports against the SPAs — catching inconsistencies and helping us tie the accounting back to the deal terms. It also helped us work through complex convertible debt issues that would have otherwise eaten days of research.
Real, measurable ROI
Conservatively, Gaapio has saved our team 500+ hours in the last six months and over $100,000 in advisory fees. That's not a rounding-up estimate — it reflects research and drafting we genuinely used to outsource or grind through manually.
Night-and-day vs. ChatGPT
Our team previously relied on ChatGPT, and we had multiple instances where it led us in the wrong direction on critical technical accounting issues. It wouldn't reference reliable ASC guidance or Big 4 interpretive guidance the way Gaapio does, it generated weak memos, and it completely lacked the built-in prompt guidance that Gaapio has baked in across the entire platform.
Gaapio's citations actually check out against the Codification — which matters enormously when you have to stand behind a position in front of your auditors.
Beyond the hours and dollars, Gaapio has given our entire team real confidence in our technical accounting decisions. It's become such a core part of how we work that everyone on the team has said, more than once, “I don't know how I'll ever be able to work somewhere in the future that doesn't have Gaapio.”
“If you're a technical accounting team weighing this against a general-purpose AI tool, there's no comparison. Gaapio was built for this work, and it shows.”
