How Adept: Accounting Principles & Solutions Reduced Bookkeeping by 75% with Digits

Adept: Accounting Principles & Solutions was built to help small and mid-sized businesses access enterprise-level accounting and operational systems — without enterprise-level costs.

Founder Taveion McCutcheon has spent his entire career in accounting, from junior roles to senior financial positions in government. But when he launched his own firm, he quickly saw a problem:

Too much time was going toward bookkeeping — not enough toward strategic advisory.

“I’m skilled in financial analysis and forecasting,” Taveion says. “That’s where I bring value. I don’t want to spend my time on tedious admin tasks.”

The Problem: Manual Bookkeeping Slowing Growth

Before Digits, Adept relied on traditional tools like QuickBooks and Excel. Taveion had worked in nearly every major accounting system — Sage, Intacct, QuickBooks Desktop and Online — and knew them well.

The challenge wasn’t understanding the tools — it was the time they required.

Before Digits, bookkeeping accounted for roughly 70% of his workload — hours spent reviewing transactions, categorizing expenses, and reconciling records before meaningful analysis could even begin. Taveion even experimented with building custom AI agents to automate parts of the bookkeeping process. But making them reliable required constant testing, retraining, and monitoring — turning automation into another system he had to maintain.

Everything changed when he came across a YouTube interview featuring Digits’ CEO, Jeff Seibert, on Insightful Accountant.

“About ten minutes in, I thought — this is exactly what I’ve been trying to build.”

Three Years of Cleanup in Two Days

At the time, Taveion had three years of books to clean up.

Using Digits, he completed the cleanup in just two days.

“That was the turning point.”

Instead of spending weeks (or outsourcing costly catch-up work), the books were reconciled quickly — and accurately.

A 75% Reduction in Bookkeeping Time

Since adopting Digits, Adept has reduced bookkeeping workload by approximately 75%.

“I haven’t really been doing bookkeeping anymore,” Taveion says. “Digits speeds up the entire process.”

That shift allows him to:

• Focus on financial analysis and forecasting

• Spend more time advising clients

• Move faster into tax prep and strategic planning

Instead of waiting until month-end, he and his clients now see numbers in real time.

“You can spend money and immediately ask how much you have left this month. That’s a game changer.”

Powering an AI-Driven Firm

Taveion built his own operational platform, ADA OS (Adept Data Automation Operating System), which integrates business tools into a single interface. Through Digits API, Adept’s platform can access real-time financial data and feed it directly into their system.

That means:

• Profit & Loss statements can be generated instantly

• Reports can be emailed automatically

• Financial data can be accessed via chat

“Digits is the main backend brain for accounting inside ADA OS.”

The Future of Accounting

Taveion believes bookkeeping will increasingly be automated over the next 5–10 years.

“I don’t think AI will take accountants’ jobs. I think accountants who learn AI will take jobs.”

By removing manual bookkeeping, firms can focus on what truly differentiates them: analysis, insight, and growth strategy.

The Verdict

Because of the speed, automation, and real-time visibility, Taveion actively recommends Digits to other firms.

“Because of how quickly you can clean up books and get to real advisory work, I’d recommend it to pretty much everybody.”

For Adept: Accounting Principles & Solutions, Digits isn’t just another tool — it’s the foundation that allows the firm to run a faster, more modern accounting practice.
