AI tax prep, built for Lacerte firms
Juno integrates with Lacerte to automate the prep work between source docs and a filed return. Juno extracts data from W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, balance sheets, and 100+ other document types, builds a review-ready Binder, flags mismatches for your judgment, then types the return into Lacerte field by field.

"I didn't build this because I love AI – I built it because I was tired of missing my kids' soccer games because of 14-hour days spent double-checking PDFs and answering one-off tax questions."
Why do Lacerte firms run Juno on Lacerte?
Built by a CPA, proven in Lacerte
Dave Haase, Juno's founder, built the tool. His firm still runs Juno every day. The Lacerte integration was beta-tested by Lacerte firms before launch, and used by 100s of Lacerte firms today.
Built for the way Lacerte firms work
Juno's export enters data automatically into Lacerte's fields. Works with desktop Lacerte and Lacerte instances hosted by RightWorks, Verito, or AWS.
Automates 95% of data entry into Lacerte
Juno automates 95% of the data entry into Lacerte. The fields you'd normally key by hand into Lacerte screens? Juno enters them for you. You can stop doing data entry and start doing review.
Loved by tax pros on Lacerte.
"We did the 1099s and the composites in Lacerte, and everything was fantastic."

Carlos

How does the Juno + Lacerte integration work?
Pulls data from source docs
Juno's AI tax prep pulls data from W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, balance sheets, and 100+ other document types. Blurry iPhone photos, 40-page combined uploads, handwritten organizers. If your client sent it, Juno reads it. Validate in a few minutes, not hours.
Instantly creates the Binder
Juno automates tax workpaper preparation for every return. Your team can flag fields, assign items to each other, and track what's been done and what's left to do. Every data point links back to the source doc, so you're never guessing where a number came from.
Map your Lacerte forms exactly how you want
Each return, you decide how every form maps to Lacerte. Juno tracks what's already been exported, so your team always knows where each return stands.
Pushes data into Lacerte
Approved data flows directly into the right fields in Lacerte. No retyping. No copy-paste. The data lands in minutes, instead of the hour it takes by hand.
Flags what needs your judgement
Juno's AI tax review compares source docs to what landed in Lacerte and surfaces mismatches: a missed state return, a typo, income on the wrong line. It also checks prior year and shows what changed, so reviewers see real exceptions instead of re-checking every line.
Common questions about Juno + Lacerte
Juno is the AI tax prep tool built for Lacerte firms. Juno extracts data from your source docs, builds a review-ready workpaper, and types the data directly into Lacerte at about 15 forms every 3 minutes.
Yes. Juno connects to Lacerte wherever it lives: Lacerte Desktop and Lacerte instances hosted by RightWorks, Verito, or AWS. For hosted environments, your hosting provider installs the Juno integration app inside the hosted environment as part of setup.
Yes. 1065, 1120-S, and 1120 returns push to Lacerte via Trial Balance Import, with the P&L and Balance Sheet as separate documents mapped to income and deduction screens. Juno also integrates with QuickBooks Online and Xero, so both the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statement come straight from the books.
The Juno Lacerte export runs at about 15 forms every 3 minutes.
The data that lands in Lacerte is a 100% match to what you've already verified in Juno. Accuracy happens earlier in the process: Juno extracts data from source docs and does a first-pass review, then you verify every data point in the Binder. The export step just delivers your verified data into the fields you mapped.
Yes. For each document on a returning client, you choose what should happen: add a new form, skip it, or map it to an existing form in the return. Prior-year carryovers and pro forma data stay clean, no duplicates on rollover.
Yes. Juno partners with K1x for complex K-1s at no extra charge, reads the statements and footnotes on the back of the K-1, and handles multi-state allocations.
Yes. Juno accepts Schedule C, E, and F in any client format including Excel, CSV, PDF, and handwritten. You can choose to export either all the details or only category totals. For these schedules, set up the properties or businesses in Lacerte first so Juno can map to them.
The Lacerte export is set up on your onboarding call once you become a customer, so it's not part of the 7-day trial. The demo above shows what an export looks like on a real return. If you want to walk through how it'll work for your kind of returns, book a call and we'll talk it through.
The Lacerte integration is included in every Juno subscription. No extra cost, no add-on fee. Juno pricing is based on the number of returns your firm does.
