Soraban, the Intelligent Admin Copilot designed specifically for accounting firms, has announced the completion of its Series A funding round, led by Altos Ventures. In an industry grappling not only with a shortage of skilled professionals but also with an overwhelming volume of unbillable tasks, Soraban offers a targeted solution. While most automation tools address tax-related work, Soraban focuses on the 40–60% of the workweek that firms cannot bill, tackling the manual processes that drain both time and resources.

“Our mission is to remove the administrative burden that slows accountants and administrators down and costs firms significant revenue,” said Enoch Ko, CEO and Founder of Soraban. “The industry is facing a capacity crisis. Skilled professionals are in short supply, and while others are still experimenting, Soraban has already supported over 300 firms through five tax seasons. We can scale across more workflows with this increased investment, giving the profession a smarter, faster future.”

Purpose-built for accounting firms, Soraban automates the execution layer between tax software and clients, streamlining everything from client onboarding and document gathering to workflow coordination and final deliverables. As a result, businesses can expand without experiencing operational upheaval. Users have praised its impact; John Hopkins, Partner at Prospect Financial Solutions, noted that Soraban’s ease of use and automated reminders have saved countless hours, allowing his team to maintain productivity even after losing a key administrator.

Beyond replacing manual admin work, Soraban redefines workflows by reducing the need for accounting staff to handle routine tasks. The platform increases capacity without adding headcount and allows admin teams to focus on enhancing client experiences. By cutting turnaround times, boosting client satisfaction, and freeing up professionals to work in their areas of expertise, Soraban transforms firm operations.

According to Cathy Anderson of Altos Ventures, “Accounting firms are drowning in administration, not accounting,” . And also she said that,  “From the standpoint of the client, Soraban reconstructs the back office. When the client experience works, everything else falls into place—less chasing, more billing, and happier teams. Enoch’s background as both an engineer and former firm owner gives him unique insight into solving this problem at scale.”
