The backstory
Karbon gives accounting firms a shared workspace to track client work, deadlines and email in one place, replacing the spreadsheets many small firms used to run engagements. AI-powered bookkeeping tools now automate much of the routine data entry and reconciliation work that used to generate the tasks Karbon tracks, shrinking the volume of manual workflow that firms need to manage.
