Combinely is an AI co-worker built for accountants that automates routine tasks to free up time for strategic work. It processes incoming emails, drafts responses, and generates deliverables based on firm data and client history. The tool integrates with Outlook and document systems to handle queries efficiently.

Key functionalities include email scanning for question extraction, context retrieval from past work, and automated drafting of replies or reminders. It also reviews financial documents, performs data extraction, and conducts basic calculations to identify issues. Client profiles track preferences and interaction patterns for personalized outputs.

Accountants use Combinely to manage workloads during peak seasons like tax time, reducing errors from fatigue and improving response times. The system learns from firm-specific processes to improve accuracy over time. It supports scaling services without adding staff by handling repetitive communications.

In comparison to competitors, Combinely offers more proactive automation than Karbon, which focuses on task management, and deeper document analysis than Fieldguide, geared toward advisory workflows. General pricing follows a subscription model suitable for small to mid-sized firms, with options that align closely with market rates for similar tools.

Users appreciate the time savings of one to two hours per day and the reduction in non-billable tasks. Some report initial setup challenges with data organization and occasional inaccuracies in complex scenarios. For best results, firms should organize internal resources beforehand and review outputs regularly to refine the tools performance.
