Current & deferred provision

Calculate current and deferred tax expense side by side, with every temporary and permanent difference tracked to its source.

Rate reconciliation

Automated statutory-to-effective rate bridge that updates live as inputs change — no more rebuilding the recon by hand each quarter.

Deferred inventory & valuation allowance

A living ledger of DTAs and DTLs by jurisdiction and attribute, with structured valuation allowance analysis built in.

Return-to-provision true-ups

Reconcile the filed return against the estimated provision and flow true-up adjustments through automatically, fully documented.

ETR analytics

Real-time visibility into effective tax rate drivers, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, from current-period actuals through forecast.

Audit trail

Every input, override, and calculation change is logged with who, what, and when — ready to hand to your auditor without reconstruction.

Controls & roles

Granular, role-based permissions and approval workflows built for enterprise tax departments operating under SOX.

Intelligent variance detection

Automatic flags on accounts and rate drivers that move outside expected ranges, so anomalies surface before the close, not during it — without a preparer combing through every tab.

03 — THE AKROS DIFFERENCE

Built different, on purpose.

Everything we build ladders up to these. Not because they're good marketing pillars — because they're what's been missing from tax provision software for a decade.

01

A modern experience, not a legacy client

Fast, intuitive workflows built on a modern technology stack — not a decades-old desktop tool wearing a new coat of paint, and not a batch job you kick off and wait on. Provision preparers move through current and deferred calculations, rate reconciliation, and reporting without fighting the software to get there.

  • Calculations run in real time — no batch jobs, no waiting
  • Built on today's technology stack, not yesterday's
  • New capability ships continuously, not once a year
  • Designed around how tax teams actually work
02

Transparent by design

Every calculation is visible and traceable, not buried behind a black box. See exactly how a number was built — from the trial balance line, to the rate assumption, to the return-to-provision adjustment that produced it.

  • Full calculation lineage on every figure
  • Version history on every input and override
  • Audit-ready exports, no reconstruction required
03

Intelligent, not just digital

Most provision tools are just digitized data entry. Akros goes further — built-in variance detection and rate-driver analysis flag what's unusual before your reviewer has to find it, so tax professionals spend their time on judgment calls, not reconciliation.

  • Automated variance and anomaly flags, not manual scanning
  • Rate-driver analysis built into the calculation itself
  • Designed to get smarter as more data flows through it
04

Built for the mid-market, not just the Fortune 500

Enterprise provision software is priced and implemented for companies with dedicated IT teams and six-figure software budgets. Akros is built to be accessible, so mid-market tax teams aren't stuck choosing between an unaffordable platform and Excel.

  • Transparent, accessible pricing — no six-figure minimum
  • Fast implementation, not a multi-quarter rollout
  • Built for teams without a dedicated software budget line

HOW IT WORKS

From trial balance to filed return, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Connect your data

    Pull trial balances and prior-period data in through a structured import — no manual re-keying between systems.

  2. 02

    Configure your provision

    Set up entities, jurisdictions, and tax attributes once. Akros carries the structure forward every period.

  3. 03

    Calculate with confidence

    Run current and deferred provision, rate reconciliation, and valuation allowance analysis with full calculation transparency.

  4. 04

    Review & report

    Route through approval workflows, then export audit-ready workpapers and disclosures — no rebuilding required.

BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE

Security and controls tax departments can stand behind.

Corporate tax data is sensitive and the process sits inside SOX scope. Akros is architected accordingly — not bolted on after the fact.

Enterprise SSO

SAML 2.0 single sign-on designed to integrate with your existing identity provider and access policies.

SOC-compliant posture

Built to a security and availability standard aligned with SOC 2 principles, with formal certification underway.

Role-based access

Granular permissions by entity, jurisdiction, and workflow stage, so reviewers see only what they're meant to approve.

Audit-ready controls

Change logs, approval trails, and access history designed to hold up under SOX testing and ITGC review.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

Built to move the numbers that matter to a tax department.
