Automated Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Snap a photo, forward an email, or drag a PDF. AI reads totals, dates, and vendors, then classifies transactions based on your history and tax rules. You review exceptions, not everything, reducing late-night bookkeeping marathons.
Invoices, Payments, and Collections
AI suggests when to send invoices for faster payment based on each customer’s past behavior. Batch and schedule with confidence, and let the system fill in line items consistently to avoid errors that cause delays.
Instead of generic notices, reminders adapt tone and timing to each client. Friendly language, clear amounts, and one-click payment links reduce friction while preserving goodwill—no more copy-pasting awkward emails on Sunday night.
Offer cards, ACH, or installments with safeguards that flag risky patterns before you accept a deal. Keep it smooth for good customers and careful where needed, so you balance speed with sensible protection.
Expense Control and Budgeting
Real-time spend alerts that matter
Instead of noisy pings, get focused alerts when a vendor spikes, a subscription doubles, or unusual travel appears. Context explains the why, so you can approve quickly or pause with confidence before costs snowball.
Budgets that adjust themselves
AI blends your history with current trends—ad spend, seasonality, supplier changes—to propose updated monthly allocations. You approve changes with one tap, keeping plans aligned with reality while staying within your larger targets.
Team transparency without shaming
Give managers lightweight dashboards that show progress against budget in friendly language, not dense tables. Celebrate efficient choices, invite questions, and encourage small course corrections early, when they are cheap and simple.
Audit trails that write themselves
Every change is logged—who, when, and why—so you can trace transactions without hunting through emails. Attach receipts, approvals, and notes right where they belong, making audits and lender requests far less stressful.
Tax time without the panic
Quarterly estimates, deductible categories, and common elections are surfaced throughout the year. When filing season arrives, your books mirror reality, your documents are organized, and surprises are replaced with prepared conversations.
Fraud detection and vendor risk hints
AI flags unusual payment routes, sudden vendor changes, and mismatched invoices. You get simple risk explanations and next steps, so you can act quickly while maintaining trust with partners who consistently operate cleanly.
