## The Problem
Hargrove EA Services specializes in Offers in Compromise and penalty abatement cases. These aren't simple correspondence audits — they require multi-document narratives, financial analysis, and persuasive framing. "We were capped at maybe a dozen active OICs at a time," James explains. "Every case needed 30-40 hours of drafting, and we had two of us."
## The Solution
The Hargroves integrated AuditKit into their document assembly workflow. For each new notice, they uploaded the IRS correspondence and let the AI pull relevant template structures and citation language. "It didn't write the argument — it structured the bones. Our job became quality control and strategy."
The firm also used AuditKit's citation database to auto-pull relevant IRM sections and case law, eliminating hours of manual research per case.
## The Results
Within four months, Hargrove EA Services carried 26 active OIC cases — more than double the prior year — without hiring. Average hours-per-case dropped from 34 to 19. "We're not doing less work. We're doing the high-value work," James notes. "The AI handles the scaffolding. We handle the argument."
