L3 LLP

CPA-Managed Accounting, Business Systems & AI

Tired of flying blind?

Most companies get little forward-looking insight from their bookkeeping. It's a regulatory exercise run on disconnected systems — a cost center that tells you where you've been, never where you're headed.

What if your books, and the systems and AI agents behind them, could be your oracle?

The Problem

Your books close. Then what?

For most companies, bookkeeping is purely a regulatory exercise. The books get closed, the taxes get filed, and nobody looks at the data again. No forecasts. No trend analysis. No early warnings. There are reasons this keeps happening:

Bad Data

Miscategorized transactions, stale receivables, reconciliation gaps — when the data going in is wrong, every report coming out is unreliable.

Slow Close

If it takes weeks to close the books, you're making decisions with month-old information. Speed matters — stale financials are as useful as no financials.

Lacking the Technology

Spreadsheets, legacy tools and systems that don't talk to each other weren't built for analytics. Without the right stack, turning financial data into forward-looking insight is nearly impossible.

Lacking the Human Resources

Great analytics needs people who understand accounting, systems and your business. Most companies can't justify a full-time team with that mix of expertise.

What We Deliver

Accounting Is Just the Foundation

We maintain your books with CPA-level precision, on systems and AI agents we set up and run — then build an analytical engine on top that turns your financial data into foresight.

CPA-Managed Bookkeeping

Clean, accurate books maintained by CPAs — not just clerks. AI-assisted entry and reconciliation do the legwork, a CPA reviews the result, and every transaction is categorized with analytics in mind.

Analytics & Forecasting

Trend analysis, cash flow projections, and scenario modeling drawn directly from your live financials. See what's coming — not just what happened.

Tax Planning & Strategy

Proactive tax strategy for real estate, ecommerce, and high-net-worth individuals. We minimize liability and surface opportunities before deadlines hit.

Early Warning Systems

Automated checks watch your financials for anomalies and risks — margin erosion, cash crunches, expense drift, duplicate payments — so problems get flagged before they become crises.

Business Systems & Automation

We Build and Run the Systems Your Books Live In

Clean books depend on the systems underneath them. We migrate, configure and operate the ERP, data and automation layer, with the same CPA discipline we bring to the ledger.

ERP Migration & Implementation

Moves from one platform to another, such as off QuickBooks Online or NetSuite. We extract, map and load the data, then tie every count and balance back to the source system and rehearse the cutover before anyone switches over.

ERP Operations

Day-to-day operation of the ERP you already run, from QuickBooks to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: landed cost, inventory costing and posting controls, plus custom extensions taken through a test environment to production under change control.

AI-Assisted AP & Reconciliation

AI agents read the AP inbox, check for duplicates, code invoices from precedent and prepare drafts with the source documents attached. Our team reviews and posts. Bank reconciliations and data checks run the same way.

Data Warehouse & Reporting Controls

Read-only reporting warehouses fed from your ERP, bank and sales-channel data. Every report ties its control totals back to the ledger and is held back if a check fails.

Agents prepare. People approve.

Drafts, not postings

Agents prepare entries. A person approves before anything posts or pays.

Every change checked

Writes are previewed, read back from the system afterward and logged.

Recovery rehearsed

Backups are taken and restores are tested before changes go in.

AI & Agent Systems

AI You Can Verify, on Systems You Control

We build and run AI agents for finance and operations teams. You can run the models on your own hardware, check where each one came from, and review an agent's work before it counts. Every step leaves a record you can check.

Open-Weight Models on Your Hardware

We run open-weight language models on servers you own, with or without a GPU, so your data never goes to an outside AI service. We test the candidate models on your actual work before choosing one, and we choose on accuracy, not just speed.

Verified Model Supply Chain

We check where a model's weights came from using its model card, training-data cards and technical papers, not just the publisher's name. Each model's source, licence and SHA-256 hash goes into a bill of materials, and every download is verified against its published hash.

Agents Connected to Your Systems

Agents work in your ERP and operations systems through their APIs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Credentials stay in a vault the agent never reads. Agents prepare drafts, and a person approves before anything posts, pays or is sent.

Code Decides, the Model Explains

Quantities, dates, thresholds and totals are worked out in code, where they can be tested. The model explains the result and writes the draft. An automatic check rejects any draft that contains a number not found in the source data.

Built in-house. Run on our own work.

Our own platform

Our co-founder designs and builds the agent platform L3 runs on: scheduled agents, approvals, a credential vault and plugins.

Our own books first

Our own ledger runs on a self-hosted ERP, operated with agents. We prove a setup on our own practice before we recommend it.

Dedicated deployments

Each client deployment gets its own dedicated, isolated instance behind single sign-on.

How It Works

From Bookkeeping to Business Intelligence

We don't just maintain your books — we fix the systems they run on and turn them into a decision-making tool. Here's how.

01

Get the Data and Systems Right

We take over your books and the systems behind them — proper categorization, reconciliation, a chart of accounts designed for insight, and an ERP that fits how you operate.

02

Build the Engine

With clean data flowing, we layer on AI agents, automation and analytics: AI-assisted entry and checks, dashboards, trend monitoring, forecasts, and alerts. Your financials start telling you what's coming, not just what happened.

03

Reduce Uncertainty

Now you make decisions with confidence. Cash flow projections, scenario models, and early warnings become part of how you run your business — not an afterthought.

Case Studies

Real Work, Details Removed

Three engagements from our own records. Clients are anonymized.

ERP migration

Professional-services firm: QuickBooks Online to ERPNext

A small professional-services firm outgrowing QuickBooks Online.

  • Moved the full accounting history to a self-hosted ERPNext ledger, with counts and balances checked against the source before import.
  • Rebuilt branded invoices with automatic email delivery from the new system.
  • Day-to-day bookkeeping now runs on AI agents: agents propose entries and a CPA approves each posting.

ERP migration

Multi-channel ecommerce company moving off NetSuite

A high-volume ecommerce seller with several related entities, moving to a lower-cost ERP.

  • Built separate test and production ERPNext environments with nightly backups and tested restores.
  • Extracted catalog, master data and transaction history from the legacy ERP, tied to that system's own totals.
  • Stood up a read-only analytics warehouse and a reconciliation across the legacy ERP, the shipping platform and the new ERP.

ERP operations

Consumer-products brand: landed cost and AP automation

A consumer-products brand selling direct and wholesale on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

  • Built and deployed a custom Business Central extension through a test environment to production.
  • Set up landed cost so import duty and freight flow into inventory and reach cost of goods sold when the product sells.
  • Automated AP intake and bank reconciliation: duplicate checks, coding from precedent and draft invoices for a person to review and post.
