The opening
A problem every factory has, and almost nobody is solving
On a manufacturer's financial statements, overhead is a black box: one total, spread across products by output or labour hours. What the owner receives is a statement, not a course of action. This is not an isolated case — nobody has ever built the translation layer between the accounting view and the physical world. The finance manager does not understand processes and work orders; the production manager cannot compute the amounts or the tax consequences. There is nobody in between.
| Who is on the field | What they are strong at | What they cannot reach |
|---|---|---|
| MES and industrial software | Data capture, real time, systems engineering | They sell a system and ask the client to change process first. They barely touch the accounting view and own no cost conclusion |
| Lean and cost-reduction consulting | Genuine understanding of the line and strong shop-floor improvement | They deliver an improvement plan but cannot compute the tax effect — owners keep asking why the savings never show up in the statements |
| Accounting firms | Licence, methodology, brand | They do not enter the workshop and do not do cost reduction. Billed hourly, and owning no conclusion about the business |
| ERP costing modules | Native to the ledger, and inexpensive | A tool, not a delivery. The allocation rules still have to be set by a person — and being unable to set those rules is precisely the client's ailment |
Four kinds of player, four directions, and not one of them standing where the ledger meets the shop floor. That intersection is where Yidao sits — and why we think this is worth ten years of work.
Unit of delivery
Sixteen product modules, covering every business process in the company
Yidao's unit of delivery is not “a project”. It is sixteen product modules that can be taken apart and recombined. M01–M08 sit on the finance and tax side and get the money right, 109 standard work units in total; M09–M16 sit on the enterprise AI side and keep engineering, procurement, production, sales and marketing moving day to day. Each module states what the client provides, what we deliver and which companies it suits.

M02
Related-party transactions and pricing fairness
Line-by-line comparison of same-specification prices in the same period, buy-sell spread against processing cost coverage, and round-tripping detection — turning a structural judgement into a negotiable figure.
See it on the star map →M03
Transaction substance and use of funds
Answers one question: where did the money actually go. Tracing concentrated borrowings, account completeness, balances with shareholders and related individuals, cross-year reversals.
See it on the star map →M04
Tax risk scan and remediation
The shortest module and the easiest to start with. Ten-dimension invoice analysis, risk domains across four taxes, a remediation plan for each finding and a re-scan to verify it.
See it on the star map →M05
Management dashboard and cash flow
After cleaning nine kinds of export and matching entities across them: profit and loss to the ledger entry, profit rankings, receivable ageing against credit limits, a three-month rolling cash forecast.
See it on the star map →M06
Cross-border e-commerce compliance and VAT refunds
The compliance path under 9610 and similar regimes, the evidence chain and filing for export VAT refunds, and the tax treatment of offshore receipts and settlement.
See it on the star map →M07
R&D expenditure and super-deduction
Automatic collection across seven expense categories, cap calculations by category, auxiliary ledger and return, a 24-point risk check and the supporting file.
See it on the star map →M08
Manufacturing cost and equipment assets
Yidao's newest module and the most differentiated. Cost objects, restored material-labour-overhead and recomputed allocation, energy linkage, downtime and lost capacity priced, equipment cards and three-way matching, costed reduction opportunities.

M09
AI development workflow and implementation service
Connects requirements, design, build, test and release into a traceable process. Workflow and repository templates, AI skill packs, standards adaptation and team training.
See it on the star map →M10
Enterprise knowledge base
Turns product, process and business experience into knowledge a team can keep using: categories, content owners, scope of use and versions. Already integrated with the AI coach and online assessment.
See it on the star map →M11
AI teaching video generation
Turns existing decks into reusable training video, so onboarding, machine and process SOPs and policy briefings need not be delivered live every year.
See it on the star map →M12
AI sales call coach
Trainees hold a live voice conversation with an AI customer; afterwards the report carries the model's raw score, the reviewed score and a full transcript. Integrated with the knowledge base and assessment.
See it on the star map →M13
AI online assessment
Question bank, paper assembly, online sitting, AI-assisted marking and weak-point analysis on one line, with results feeding straight into the next round of remedial training.
See it on the star map →M14
AI technical solution researcher
Searches for candidate solutions to the problem at hand and assembles candidate leads with their sources, so the person deciding can check the originals and compare.
See it on the star map →M15
AI procurement assistant
Brings the standardisable part of order follow-up into an agreed workflow, while anything requiring judgement or exception handling goes back to a person.
See it on the star map →M16
AI short video generation
Organises sustainable video production around material libraries and themes, so one batch of footage becomes both a product introduction and a how-to.
See it on the star map →The two sides are complementary rather than parallel. M01–M08 look backwards, carry accountability and must reconcile to source documents — they answer where the money leaks. M09–M16 look forwards, are executed by people and are repetitive and scattered — they answer how the daily work keeps moving. Within one business stage, one module tells you where the money is and another keeps the work running. That is why we can serve the whole company rather than only the finance department.

Method
Evidence tiers: a conclusion may not skip a tier
This is the convention beneath every professional judgement we make. How far a conclusion can travel depends on which tier of evidence it stands on — not on how well the report reads. No working paper may move from “indicative” to “confirmed” before Tier 3 or Tier 4 evidence exists.
L1
Extracted from systems
Ledgers, invoices and tax filings — data that can be pulled automatically and recomputed.
Supports an indicative view only
L2
Documents provided by the company
Contracts, approvals and project papers supplied by the company alone; their authenticity is itself a matter for judgement.
Still not enough to conclude
L3
Obtained independently
Confirmation replies, bank statements and corporate registry records issued or held by an independent third party.
Sufficient to conclude
L4
Performed by the auditor
Inventory observation, on-site observation, site visits and interview records.
Sufficient to conclude, and cannot be done remotely
We disclose the procedures we did not perform in the report footer. A report that does not state the boundary of its evidence carries no weight with a bank, a tax authority or a board — and on this we do not compromise.
Technology
Tools keep the repetitive work away from the specialists
Consulting is hard to scale because every engagement starts from zero. We have been building finance and tax data tooling since 2021 so that specialists only handle the half that requires judgement and accountability. Apart from Anxinshui, which retrieves data once the company authorises it, every tool runs on the client's own machine and no data leaves the premises. All six have their own product sites, with real screens and real output. Alongside them sit eight enterprise AI modules — knowledge base, teaching video, sales call coach, online assessment, solution research, procurement assistant, short video generation and an AI development workflow service. They make no finance or tax judgement; they organise the daily work that is repetitive, scattered and carried in someone's head. Where each group is used is laid out stage by stage on Cost and efficiency.
Tax risk
Anxinshui
A big-data tax risk report. 264 risk models run against 36 months of filings and invoice data to produce a quantified, industry-benchmarked report automatically.

Management dashboard
Jingying Tongbao
Types nine kinds of finance export automatically and builds a management cockpit locally: product and customer margin rankings, loss-making orders, credit-limit breaches, three-way related-party linkage, slow-moving stock analysis and cash flow management.

Internal audit
Neishentong + CFAudit
A workbench for on-site internal audit, not a reporting tool: the seven stage gates, the conclusion tier of all 34 working papers and the evidence tier of every finding sit on one screen. What cannot be computed says which schedule is missing, and nothing becomes “confirmed” without Tier 3 or Tier 4 evidence. Behind it, CFAudit turns the working papers into code: reconciliations are assertions, and a break fails the build.

R&D expenditure
R&D Steward
Turns an ERP export into the 2021-form R&D auxiliary ledger and the A107012 filing values on the client's own machine, computes the cap on other related expenses, then runs 24 risk checks and the supporting-file checklist.
rd.yidaocaiwu.com ↗(in Chinese)
Cross-border
Cross-border Steward
Connects to the local cross-border e-commerce public service platforms for one-click filing under 9610 / 9710 / 9810 / 1210, AI-assisted HS classification and a VAT refund reconciliation ledger, plus a 61-point tax compliance self-check.

Outcomes
Results that can be checked
Representative anonymised engagements. Client names and districts are blurred; quantified results are reproduced from the engagement file.
Electroplating and surface finishing · Jiangsu
51%
Unit electricity cost, and a cost base computed properly for the first time
Twelve months of daily data: output rose 4.6 times while electricity cost per unit fell 51%, and over half of all costs proved not to vary with output. Every figure came from the client's own reports.
Advanced materials · Jiangsu
RMB 10.25m
Seven years of accumulated losses fully explained
On-site internal audit established that seven years of losses came entirely from a 1.98 percentage-point gross margin gap, itself set by related-party purchase pricing at 97.02% of procurement.
Manufacturing · East China
RMB 5.4m
Responding to a false-invoicing finding on personal invoices
The audit demanded RMB 6.3m at 35%. Through supplementary evidence and negotiation, RMB 5.4m of that assessment was avoided.
