Founded by Anthony Pinto, Navy veteran and AI automation specialist.
The Problem
Bookkeepers and financial services firms are stuck in a volume trap. Every new client means more transactions to categorize, more reconciliations to run, more reports to compile. You can't scale by hiring because margins don't support it. Three things I see killing financial services firms:
Manual transaction categorization
You're spending hours per client every month clicking through bank feeds and categorizing transactions one by one. The same vendor, the same category, the same click — hundreds of times. It's the single biggest time sink in bookkeeping.
Client reporting takes too long
Every client wants a monthly report. P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, maybe some custom KPIs. You're pulling data from QuickBooks, formatting it, adding context, and sending it out. Multiply that by 20 clients and it's a multi-day process every month.
Reconciliation bottlenecks
Bank reconciliation is tedious but critical. Missing a discrepancy means compounding errors. Doing it manually means you're the bottleneck. Every client waits until you get to them, and month-end becomes a sprint.
What We Automate for Financial Services
AI Transaction Categorization
Machine learning that categorizes transactions based on your historical patterns per client. 95%+ accuracy out of the gate. Ambiguous transactions flagged for human review, not guessed at. Gets smarter every month.
Invoice Processing & Data Entry
AI reads invoices from email, extracts vendor, amount, line items, and due date, then creates the entry in QuickBooks. Duplicate detection prevents double entries. You review and approve instead of typing.
Bank Reconciliation Automation
Automated matching of bank transactions to book entries. Exact matches clear automatically. Near-matches and discrepancies get flagged with context so you resolve exceptions in minutes, not hours.
Client Reporting & Delivery
Automated monthly report generation pulling data from QuickBooks. P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and custom KPIs formatted and delivered to each client on schedule. What took days now takes zero manual effort.
Document Collection & Organization
Automated reminders to clients for receipts, statements, and tax documents. Incoming documents parsed, categorized, and filed automatically. Stop chasing clients for paperwork every month.
Exception & Anomaly Alerts
Real-time alerts when something looks wrong — unusual transaction amounts, unexpected vendors, potential duplicates, or reconciliation discrepancies. Catch problems when they happen instead of during month-end close.
Real Results
Bookkeeper: 4 Hours to 30 Minutes Per Client
A bookkeeper managing 15+ clients was spending 4 hours per client per month on transaction categorization, reconciliation, and report generation. Month-end was a 60+ hour sprint. Taking on new clients meant working weekends or hiring, and the margins didn't support another hire.
We built AI-powered transaction categorization trained on each client's historical patterns, automated bank reconciliation with exception flagging, and templated client report generation that pulls directly from QuickBooks. Per-client processing dropped from 4 hours to 30 minutes. The bookkeeper took on 8 new clients without adding staff.

Does it work with QuickBooks Online?
Yes. QuickBooks Online is the most common platform we automate for bookkeepers. We integrate directly via the QBO API for transaction categorization, invoice processing, bank reconciliation, and reporting. We also work with Xero, FreshBooks, and most accounting platforms with API access.
How does AI transaction categorization work?

Ambiguous transactions get flagged for review. It gets smarter every month as you confirm or correct its categorizations.
