The details

What Caddi does with Lacerte

Why teams automate Lacerte

Intuit Lacerte is professional tax-preparation software for accounting and tax teams, integrated through a local ODBC and .NET SDK. Caddi AI Agents automate the document extraction and data movement around it so returns move through the process without rekeying.

Tax season is bottlenecked by moving documents and figures between Lacerte and everything else. Caddi runs that extraction and data movement so preparers spend time on the return, not on data entry.

Questions about automating Lacerte

Does Caddi have a real Lacerte integration?

Yes. Caddi runs verified code against Lacerte's official APIs (and uses a secure, audited browser session when an API isn't available). Every automation Caddi builds for Lacerte is reviewed before it runs in production.

Do I need engineering help to automate Lacerte with Caddi?

No. You demonstrate the workflow, clicking through Lacerte the way you normally would, and Caddi turns it into a verified, repeatable automation. No code, no IT ticket, no Zapier-style wiring.

Is my Lacerte data safe?

Caddi is SOC 2 attested. Our AI watches and builds the automation; once generated, it executes as deterministic code against Lacerte, the same steps on every run, and any model step inside a run is scoped, logged, and reviewable.

Can Caddi connect Lacerte to the rest of my stack?

That's the point. Most Caddi automations span 3-6 tools. For example: pulling data out of an email, updating Lacerte, filing a document in cloud storage, and posting a confirmation in Slack or Teams. Every tool on the integrations page is fair game.

How do I find what to automate in Lacerte?

Caddi Discover reads the activity in the tools you connect, read only, and ranks the repeated work worth automating with the evidence behind each finding. Unlike process mining, it does not stop at the insight: the person who does the work builds the automation in Caddi Automate, and Govern keeps every run and decision on the record.
