AI accounting that keeps your books current.
Bookkeeping is mostly careful, repetitive work: reading invoices and receipts, coding them, matching bank lines and chasing the gaps before month end. AI accounting does that first pass every day, so your books stay current and your bookkeeper or accountant spends their time on review and advice instead of data entry.
What it is
AI accounting is a set of workflows that sit alongside your accounting software, commonly QuickBooks Online or Xero. Invoices and receipts are collected from email, uploads and phone photos. The AI reads each one, pulls out the supplier, date, amounts and tax, suggests the account and category based on your past coding, and prepares the entry.
Bank lines are matched to those invoices, receipts and payments as they arrive. The routine matches are prepared automatically. Anything that does not match, looks like a duplicate or falls outside your rules lands on a short exception list for a person.
At month end, the same data feeds a close checklist and the reports you look at, so they are ready sooner and built on books that were kept current all month. The AI prepares, a person reviews and approves, and nothing is posted without passing the rules you set.
This is not tax advice and it does not replace your accountant. It gives your bookkeeper or CPA cleaner, more complete records to work from, and gives you a clearer view of your numbers in between.
Who it is for
- Small and mid-size businesses doing their own books, or doing them late
- Owners who spend evenings matching receipts and bank statements
- In-house finance staff who want to spend less time on data entry
- Bookkeepers and accounting firms that want faster, cleaner inputs from clients
- Businesses with many suppliers, card transactions or locations
The problems it solves.
Invoices and receipts piling up
Supplier invoices arrive by email in every format, receipts sit in wallets and phone galleries, and someone has to type each one in and code it. It is slow, and it is easy to miss or duplicate one.
Bank reconciliation that eats days each month
Matching every bank and card line to an invoice, receipt or payment by hand is tedious, and it tends to wait until month end, when the backlog is at its largest.
Month-end reports delayed by messy books
Reports are only as good as the books under them. When coding is inconsistent and reconciliation is behind, month end slips and decisions are made on old numbers.
Accounts payable that relies on memory
Due dates, missing invoices and supplier statements that do not agree are tracked in inboxes and heads. Late fees and awkward supplier calls follow.
How it works, step by step.
Review your books and process
We look at how documents arrive, how they are coded today, which bank and card accounts you use and what your month end looks like. Your chart of accounts and past coding become the reference for the AI.
Set up document capture
You get a dedicated email address and a simple upload route for invoices and receipts, including phone photos. Supplier invoices can be forwarded automatically from your inbox.
Extract and code
The AI reads each document, extracts supplier, dates, amounts and tax, checks for duplicates and suggests the account, category and class or location from your rules and history.
Reconcile daily
Bank and card lines from your accounting software's bank feeds are matched to documents and payments as they come in. Clear matches are prepared, and everything else goes to an exception list with the likely reason.
Review and approve
A person reviews the prepared entries and the exceptions, in your accounting software or a simple review screen, and approves, corrects or asks a question. Corrections feed back into the rules.
Close and report
At month end, a checklist shows what is still open, missing documents are chased, and the reports you rely on, such as profit and loss and cash position, are prepared for review.
What the AI does, and what people decide.
The AI prepares
- Collects invoices and receipts from email, uploads and photos
- Reads supplier, dates, amounts and tax from each document
- Suggests the account, category and location from your history
- Spots likely duplicates and amounts that look unusual
- Matches bank and card lines to documents and payments
- Keeps the month-end checklist and lists what is still missing
People review and decide
- Approve or correct prepared entries and matches
- Resolve the exceptions the AI could not match
- Decide tax treatment and anything that needs judgement
- Approve and pay bills
- Close the month and sign off the reports
- Set and change the rules the AI follows
What you provide
Setup is done for you. To get started, this is what I need from your side:
- Access to your accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online or Xero, with a user role you choose
- Your chart of accounts and, ideally, a few months of coded history
- Bank and card feeds connected in your accounting software
- Where invoices and receipts arrive today, and who approves bills
- Your bookkeeper or accountant, if you have one, to agree the review process
Human review and privacy
A person stays in the loop
Every entry the AI prepares is reviewed by a person before it counts: you, your bookkeeper or your accountant, depending on how you work. The AI flags low-confidence readings, possible duplicates and unusual amounts instead of guessing, and it never pays bills, files tax returns or changes closed periods.
Your data
Financial data is handled with care: access to your accounting software is granted through its own user permissions and can be removed at any time, documents are processed by providers that do not use them to train public models, and nothing is shared beyond the services the workflow needs. Bank login details are never collected; bank data comes through the feeds your accounting software already uses.

Questions about this service.
Does AI accounting replace my bookkeeper or accountant?
No. It takes over the data entry and matching, so your bookkeeper or accountant spends their time reviewing, advising and handling the judgement calls. Many accounting professionals welcome cleaner, more complete records from their clients.
Which accounting software does it work with?
Most often QuickBooks Online and Xero, which have official connections for this kind of work. Other systems can often be supported through their imports and exports. We confirm what is possible with your setup during the free audit.
How accurate is the invoice and receipt reading?
Clear, typed invoices are usually read reliably, while faded receipts and handwritten notes are harder. That is why every result is reviewed, and why the AI marks the readings it is unsure about rather than guessing.
Is my financial data safe?
Access goes through your accounting software's own user permissions, which you control and can remove at any time. No bank login details are collected, documents are not used to train public AI models, and only the services the workflow needs see your data.
Can it handle sales tax and multiple locations?
It can apply your existing tax codes and tag entries by class or location, following the rules you and your accountant set. It does not decide tax treatment on its own, and unclear items are sent for review.
How long does it take to set up?
It depends on how many accounts, suppliers and locations are involved and how tidy the books are today. Capture and coding usually come first, then reconciliation, then month-end reporting, so you get value from the first step while the rest is set up.
