What that means

A Built team of 5 delivers the output of 8–9 U.S. hires, for 20–30% less.

2–2.5x more output per dollar

U.S. cost uses the national median salary for each role (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025) and doesn’t include benefits, payroll taxes or recruiting, so real savings are usually higher. Built ranges are based on teams running on the AI OS; we’ll give you exact numbers on a call.

Questions,
answered.

Do they give legal or tax advice?

No. Our teams support your licensed professionals; advice, opinions and sign-off stay with your attorneys and CPAs.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Access by role, client-data rules agreed before day one, and work inside your systems, under the same controls as your core team.

Can capacity follow our busy season?

Yes. Add people ahead of filing deadlines or a large matter, and scale back when the work settles.
