What is GOAT.tax?
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.
What is Procurify?
Procurement-to-pay tool is squeezing latency out of AP — bulk pay, in-line edit, pay-on-approval.
Procurify is shipping a steady stream of AP-team velocity improvements: Bulk Payment Preparation, an at-a-glance progress view on order requests, Advanced Bill Filtering, in-line bill editing in Beta, Pay-on-Approval for Bill Payments, and Bulk Approve Payments. Earlier in the window, Approval Pools, Direct Debit for Bill Pay, and an AI Intake for Orders early-access program all landed.

GOAT.tax
5.0FINANCE
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
◆ Current state
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving upmarket: Section G applies only to filers above $1.5M in QREs and $50M in gross receipts, and multi-company plus Controlled Group work targets complex corporate structures. A steady UI redesign of workspaces runs alongside, aimed at making large studies manageable.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Controlled Group model to surface as user-facing computations, and Section G output to flow into the generated 6765 report within the next few releases.
Procurify
1.7FINANCE
Procurement-to-pay tool is squeezing latency out of AP — bulk pay, in-line edit, pay-on-approval.
◆ Current state
Procurify is shipping a steady stream of AP-team velocity improvements: Bulk Payment Preparation, an at-a-glance progress view on order requests, Advanced Bill Filtering, in-line bill editing in Beta, Pay-on-Approval for Bill Payments, and Bulk Approve Payments. Earlier in the window, Approval Pools, Direct Debit for Bill Pay, and an AI Intake for Orders early-access program all landed.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is being optimized for high-volume AP and procurement teams, where the bottleneck is no longer feature breadth but the number of clicks per invoice processed. In-line editing, bulk approvals, pay-on-approval, and approval pools collectively compress the steps between bill entry and money out the door. The AI Intake for Orders early-access feature is the directional bet for where the cycle goes next — turning unstructured order requests into structured intake automatically.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Intake to expand out of early access and likely a parallel AI capability for bill ingestion (OCR-plus-LLM) given the in-line edit groundwork. Direct Debit support is likely to see broader regional/banking expansion. Approval pools will probably grow into more nuanced routing rules.
