Accrual brings AI-native automation to the accounting profession by unifying tax preparation and review into one system. Its AI agents function as preparers, ingesting messy client inputs such as complex K-1s, 1099s, spreadsheets, emails, photos, and multi-hundred-page statements, then organizing the information, identifying missing data, and generating draft returns ready for a CPA's review. The platform integrates with existing tax engines rather than replacing them and is currently focused on individual returns. Founded by Cosmin Nicolaescu and Siddarth Chandrasekaran and headquartered in San Francisco, Accrual launched out of stealth in February 2026 with $75M in funding led by General Catalyst, alongside Go Global Ventures, Pruven Capital, and Edward Jones Ventures.
