Frequently asked questions

Getting started and plans9 questions
What is Bizora AI?

Bizora's AI tax research assistant draws on a curated database of authoritative tax law sources for its core research, producing citation-rich answers linked directly to official materials such as IRC sections, Treasury Regulations, and rulings. Web Search mode can also retrieve current web sources for the latest legislative news and guidance. This allows users to independently verify results and rely on Bizora for audit-ready tax research and defensible positions.

Is Bizora AI a tax research tool or an AI tax assistant?

Both. Bizora AI is a tax research platform. The AI Assistant is one of its core features, alongside the Vault for document management, Canvas for drafting memos and emails, and Deep Research mode for complex questions. You ask questions in the Assistant, upload files to the Vault, and draft in Canvas.

Who is Bizora built for?

Bizora is built for tax firms looking to scale research and reduce time spent on compliance, audit and assurance teams researching GAAP, GASB, and PCAOB standards, private equity and venture capital firms handling tax-sensitive M&A transactions, in-house tax teams seeking faster, more accurate tax research, and software platforms looking to embed AI tax research capabilities via API.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Explore all features before committing to a paid plan.

What's included in each plan?

Bizora offers three pricing plans for its AI tax and audit research assistant: Essential ($29.99/month), Pro ($69.99/month), and Pinnacle ($119.99/month).

Using Bizora13 questions
What's the difference between Standard Research and Deep Research?

Standard Research gives you quick, citation-based answers, perfect for when you just need to confirm a code section or regulation. Deep Research goes several layers deeper. It breaks complex questions into steps, reviews multiple authorities, and builds a comprehensive, reasoning answer just like a senior tax advisor would. Standard Research is for quick, cited answers; Deep Research is for full analysis.

What is Deep Research mode?

Deep Research mode is built for complex questions. Bizora breaks your question into parts, reviews multiple authorities independently, and puts together a full analysis with citations from each step. Work that used to take hours of manual research comes back in minutes.

What is the Vault?

The Vault is a secure document workspace inside Bizora. Upload tax returns, K-1s, memos, engagement letters, or any client file. Then summarize documents, extract key data, flag differences across filings, or draft memos, all grounded in the actual uploaded documents. You can attach Vault files directly in the AI Assistant for document-specific answers.

What file types can I upload?

Word documents, PDFs, Excel files, JPG and PNG images, CSV files, and DOCX files. You can drag and drop files directly into the AI Assistant chat or upload them to The Vault.

Can Bizora review tax returns?

Yes. Bizora can review Form 1040, 1120, and 1065 returns through The Vault and the AI Assistant. Upload a return to The Vault, then ask Bizora to flag potential issues, identify missed deductions or credits, check for consistency across schedules, or surface areas that may need closer review. It grounds every response in the actual return you uploaded, not general guidance.

Can Bizora help me write tax research memos?

Yes. With Canvas, you can draft professional tax research memos directly inside Bizora. Research a question, get citation-backed findings, and write the memo without switching tools. Your conclusions stay tied to the sources that support them, making it easier to produce client-ready work product in less time.

What does the AI assistant do today?

Bizora's AI tax and audit research assistant helps professionals answer complex tax questions with authoritative citations; answer audit, accounting, and compliance questions cited to PCAOB, GASB, AICPA, and other standards; interpret IRS Code, PLRs, Treasury Regulations, and case law; support federal, state, and international tax compliance; translate complex tax language into plain English; save hours on income tax filing, transaction planning, and M&A analysis; and extract, review, and analyze client documents to surface tax issues and advisory insights.

Can Bizora support opinion-level or gray-area tax research?

How accurate is Bizora's AI tax research for compliance and audits?

Bizora's AI tax research assistant is trained exclusively on authoritative tax law sources and produces citation-rich answers linked directly to official materials such as IRS code sections, Treasury Regulations, and rulings.
