For accountants & tax preparers
Read the K-1 without uploading the SSN.
Client documents come full of identifiers no AI vendor should hold.
Muet reads them entirely on your Mac.
What it does for accounting work
- Answers questions about long PDFs. “What’s the basis on this brokerage consolidation?” “Where’s the deduction footnote?” “What does this 47-page operating agreement say about K-1 allocations?” Answers cite the page.
- Reads scanned documents. Bank statements, receipts, mileage logs, and paper-only client exhibits. OCR runs on the Mac, so the scan never leaves it.
- Spreadsheet Q&A. Open an Excel or CSV file and ask questions in plain language. It is parsed locally and never uploaded.
- Edits documents in plain language. Tracked-change edits to a DOCX for revising engagement letters, IRS notice responses, and templated client correspondence without retyping.
- Redacts PII in one pass. SSNs, EINs, account numbers, and beneficiary names are removed, and Muet saves a clean anonymised copy with no tracked changes, comments, or metadata, ready to share onward.
- Translates foreign tax documents. For expat clients, without sending the document to an online translator.
Why this matters
Almost every document a CPA touches contains identifiers that shouldn’t be in someone else’s prompt log:
- SSNs and EINs on every return.
- Bank and brokerage account numbers on every statement.
- Beneficiary names and addresses on every estate document.
- Salary and bonus figures on every payroll worksheet.
- UHNW positions and deal terms on private-client materials.
The IRS Safeguards regime, FTC Safeguards Rule (revised 2023), GLBA, and the 2025 wave of state-level financial-privacy enforcement all turn on whether a third party touched the regulated data. With Muet, none does.
The work this is built for
- 1040 prep with PDF source documents from the client.
- Partnership and S-corp returns where each K-1 PDF has to be read carefully.
- Estate, trust, and gift returns with sensitive beneficiary data.
- Audit response and supporting-document reviews.
- Reading scanned bank statements and receipts during bookkeeping.
- IRS notice response drafting.
- Forensic accounting and litigation support.
- Family-office and UHNW work where client confidentiality is contractually paramount.
What it costs
$390 per Mac per year on one annual invoice, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
A per-token cloud subscription spends API credits on every page of a brokerage PDF and logs every prompt on someone else’s servers. Most CPA practices recoup the licence in the first week of busy season.
