The challenge
Associates were spending 60-70% of their time on routine bookkeeping reconciliation and first-draft memos. Partners spent ~25% of their time on detailed review work that should have been senior-associate level. Client engagement throughput was capped by associate availability.
The approach
PSG-funded AI bookkeeping platform replacing manual reconciliation. EDG-funded custom internal RAG system on the firm's matter precedents + technical memos. CTC-funded structured retraining of all 12 associates on AI first-draft + critical review workflow.
The outcome
Associate first-draft time dropped 47%. Partner review time freed up ~14 hours/week. Firm took on 30% more engagements without hiring. Effective grant subsidy: 55% of total project cost.
