KNAV, an INSIDE Public Accounting top 300 firm, has launched KNAV Tara, the firm’s AI platform designed to support assurance, tax, and advisory teams.
KNAV Tara brings together data, documents, and workflows into a single system, helping teams manage large volumes of work while maintaining clear oversight and accountability, the Atlanta-based global accounting and advisory firm said on July 1.
“Tara” means “guiding star” in Sanskrit.
“This is how we believe work should evolve,” Nishta Sharma, CEO of KNAV Advisory Inc., said in a statement. “KNAV Tara brings the structure, speed, and consistency that AI can offer while keeping judgment, review, and accountability with our people. It is not just about doing more work faster. It is about doing better work, with greater clarity.”
KNAV Tara is built on enterprise-grade large language models, accessed securely through Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, ensuring that the platform operates within a controlled and private cloud environment designed for professional use, the firm says.
In its first phase, KNAV Tara is being applied to selected audit procedures, including matching transactions with supporting documents, extracting key data from contracts, invoices, and statements, and preparing first drafts of accounting memos. These capabilities are intended to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and allow teams to focus more on review, analysis, and decision-making.
KNAV says it has designed KNAV Tara as a comprehensive AI platform, with a phased rollout approach across the firm.
The platform has also been built to support KNAV’s global operations, with data safeguards embedded into its design. Client data remains within its respective jurisdiction, with no cross-border movement, ensuring alignment with regional requirements.
Headquartered in Atlanta, the firm operates across seven countries, serving more than 1,500 multinational and growth-focused organizations.
