Save time and get more done

Fixed asset, deferred revenue, and prepaid automation
Say no to spreadsheets. Create depreciation or amortization schedules and policies with one click, review the schedule, make and edits, and let the software do the rest.
Tag clients for uncategorized transactions
No more waiting until month end to wonder what that transaction is.  Look at the receipt, let AI take a guess (optional) and if you still don’t know, request documentation or notes from your clients.  We will subscribe you to the transaction and notify you when they respond with a system suggested category.
Auto-drafted bank reconciliations
Since our APIs pull bank balances along with transactions, we automatically draft your statements and detect if they are reconciled or not.  Upload statements for even greater confidence.
Built native to Stripe
We worked closely with the Stripe team to translate billing and invoicing from transactions to revenue, across both cash and accruals, ARR/MRR, with corresponding revenue schedules automatically created and the associated journal entires posted each period, whether one transaction or a million.

More accurate books

Month end accuracy reviews
We took your month-end close checklist and added some checks and balances, highlighting the top detected errors, or potential errors.  Save time and have a second set of eyes reviewing the books.  Or in this case, code.
AI categorizer (optional)
Don’t know what something is?  Let AI take a guess, or explain what it is in natural language and let AI match it to a GL account.
Auto-ingested receipts, invoices and bills.
If you use a modern stack, like Stripe, Ramp, Brex, Mercury, or Meow, we automatically ingest or link receipts, bills and invoices, and “magic match” them when the payment is complete.  If you use other providers you can easily upload anytime.

Better client experience

Insights and variance reports
Financial statements are only one view of the business.  Aside from delivering cash and accrual books, get key financial metrics like burn, ARR and runway, get a cash activity report, variance analysis and our Spotlight tool to track significant changes.
Dual cash and accrual books
Cash & accrual books, together at last

We created a new data model that creates simultaneous cash and accrual books.  Your clients care about cash, but the IRS and investors care about accruals. Now you get both.
Training and support for your team
While most bookkeepers can learn our system in about an hour, we understand new software can be overwhelming at first.  We created an online training video series, and are happy to help you close your first month with one of our team, and create a dedicated slack channel or office hours with your team.  We are here to support you.
Easy Quickbooks transfer
We got you. Either give us read-only access or authorize this during onboarding.  We will ingest a read-only copy of your GL, trial balance and key reports, and work with you to get your client setup.
