A sole practitioner turns trusted AI into leverage across research, advisory, preparation, and delivery

Executive summary

Facing the dual pressure of a 450-return workload and rising client expectations for fast, defensible guidance, Joseph C. Greco, Jr., CPA, needed AI he could trust with professional work. The firm adopted a connected Thomson Reuters workflow — CoCounsel for research and document analysis, Ready to Advise for standardized planning and client-ready deliverables, UltraTax for preparation, and SafeSend for secure delivery and e-signature. The trust moment that unlocked adoption came when Greco ran a nuanced real estate professional scenario through three tools. The generic AI was "completely wrong," a competitor was "close," and "CoCounsel was on spot" with citations — proof he could stand behind. Together, these solutions now compress research hours into minutes, turn advisory insights into clear plans with implementation steps, and move finished returns to clients in just a few clicks — all while strengthening client relationships through transparent, plain-English outputs.
