Ermos AI for tax position research.

Every established practice has answered most questions before; the answers are in advice letters and research memos filed by engagement, findable only by the person who wrote them. An Ermos unit turns that history into a research asset the whole practice can query.

How it works on the unit

1
Index the advice history

Advice letters, research memos and position papers are indexed on the unit, with access controls mirroring the practice's.

2
Ask what the practice has said

How have we treated this arrangement before, what position did we take on this provision, which clients does this ruling touch.

3
Get cited answers

Responses point to the letters and memos they came from, so research starts from the practice's own thinking instead of a blank page.

4
Verify against primary sources

Legislation, rulings and current ATO guidance are checked in the usual places before anything is signed. Firm knowledge accelerates research; it does not replace verification.

What this is and is not

It is research across your own knowledge, complementing your tax research subscriptions rather than replacing them. The law moves; the unit's job is making sure the practice's accumulated judgement moves with the practice instead of retiring with partners.

Why on-premise matters here

Advice history is client confidential information at its most concentrated. On the unit it stays behind your access controls, and everything ErmosIQ learns about how your practice researches stays yours.

Common questions

Does this replace our tax research subscriptions?
No. It searches your practice's own advices and positions; current law and rulings are verified in your research platforms as always. The two together are faster than either alone.
How is client confidentiality handled across engagements?
Access on the unit mirrors your existing controls, so restricted engagements stay restricted. Nothing leaves the practice.
What happens when a position changes?
Newer advice supersedes older in retrieval, and ErmosIQ down-weights stale material. Your team still confirms currency against primary sources before relying on a position.
