What is the best AI for accounting questions?

For general accounting questions, any of the big assistants, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok, does a good job. Ask what a balance sheet shows or how depreciation works and you will get a clear answer. For tax questions that depend on your situation, ask your CPA.

Questions about your own numbers are different. "What did I spend on contractors last quarter?" needs your actual books. A general chatbot only knows what you paste in, a pasted statement is one account for one month, and where it has gaps it may guess.

That is where Switchbooks fits. Connect it to ChatGPT or Claude and the assistant reads your real books: it runs a Profit and Loss for any dates, searches transactions and opens the entries behind any number. You choose read-only or allow changes, and Switchbooks charges nothing extra for the connection. Here is how it works.
