Industry automation
Professional Services Automation
Proposal-heavy firms burn hours rebuilding engagement letters, fee schedules, and proposals from old templates, then chasing signatures across email while workpapers live in another office's shared drive. Talegen helps Central PA CPA, advisory, and estimating teams tighten intake, proposal assembly, and recurring client communication without forcing a generic "agency" stack. Based in York, PA.
Common problems
Where Friction Usually Shows Up
- Engagement letters and fee schedules rebuilt from last year's files
- Proposal packets assembled from email threads and old decks
- Signature and renewal status tracked in a spreadsheet
- Multi-office workpapers and status that only one person can find
- RFP intake that scatters across inboxes before anyone owns the response
Pain to service map
Pain To Service Map
Intake → proposal → signature → delivery handoffs are unclear
CRM, documents, e-sign, and task tools force rebuilds
Practice tools, proposal tools, and delivery trackers are siloed
Shared drive / spreadsheet / off-the-shelf practice tool is the bottleneck
Deciding on another practice or proposal platform

Who This Is For
Proposal-heavy professional firms: CPA and advisory practices, estimating and related local experts whose week runs on intake, engagement letters, proposals, fee schedules, and recurring client communication. Not a catch-all for every "professional." Creative shops and pure agencies are not the lead reader for this card.
Where The Loop Breaks
Journal of Accountancy and firm-ops write-ups keep circling the same admin truth: engagement letters only protect you if they actually go out, get signed, and stay tracked. Renewal cycles and multi-office workpapers are where spreadsheet status quietly fails when one person is out. RFP intake is the cousin problem on the sales side: the packet work repeats, and context drops between sales, delivery, and admin.
Where We Start
We start with the engagement letter / proposal / fee schedule loop you already run. If the pain is repeated writing and lost status, Business Automation and light Custom Software usually beat a full platform swap. If the pain is tool sprawl across offices, Systems Integration and IT Consulting come first.
What We Leave Alone
Scope judgment, partner review, and anything that should stay a human call. We do not turn this page into a marketing-agency pitch.
