Building Compliance Intelligence for Professionals

Prefiler Labs is on a mission to give every chartered accountant, CPA, and compliance professional a decision-support system that thinks like they do — structured, traceable, and math-driven.

Our Story

Prefiler was born from a simple observation: accounting professionals spend enormous time manually reviewing bank statements, cross-referencing transactions, and identifying compliance risks — work that is repetitive, error-prone, and critically important.

We built Prefiler as a hybrid intelligence platform that combines deterministic rule engines with AI narrative generation. Unlike pure-AI tools that treat compliance as a language problem, Prefiler treats it as a math and rules problem first — using AI only where it adds genuine value: generating human-readable explanations of verified data.

Every risk score is derived from explicit weighted matrices. Every flag is traceable to a triggered rule. Every output is schema-validated before it reaches the professional. This isn't AI replacing accountants — it's structured intelligence making them faster and more confident.

Today, Prefiler supports 30+ bank formats across Indian and international institutions, detects FEMA/FIRC requirements, flags presumptive taxation eligibility, catches GST registration triggers from payment patterns, and generates CA-grade narrative analysis — all before the first filing.
