Three moves. That's it.
You never open a journal screen, never look up an account code, never balance anything by hand.
Drop the paperwork in
Invoices, receipts, bank statements, spreadsheets. PDF, phone photo, CSV or XLSX — the extractor reads all of them, including multi-page statements.
Glance, then confirm
Each document comes back as a draft entry with the date, counterparty, tax and both sides of the posting already chosen. You check it; you don't build it.
Statements are already done
Confirming posts a balanced journal. P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and the notes recompute on the spot. There is no month-end scramble because there is no backlog.
Books shaped by your trade, not a generic template
A lender's accounts read nothing like a factory's. Tell us what line of work you're in and the chart of accounts, the accounting policies, the control checks and the final accounts are built for it — before you post a single number.

not listed? the general set covers it — and every account, policy and check stays editable
Simple on top. Uncompromising underneath.
Most beginner-friendly tools get friendly by removing the accounting. This one keeps all of it and hides the effort instead.
Reads anything you throw at it
A crumpled receipt photographed on a car seat parses the same as a clean supplier PDF.
Real double-entry, immutable
Every posting balances and nothing is editable afterwards. Corrections happen through linked reversals, the way auditors expect.
Bank reconciliation that matches itself
Import a statement and it proposes matches line by line, catching duplicates before they double your revenue.
Controls that flag, never block
Lodgement with no stamped slip? Inventory with no supplier invoice? Loan interest that never posted? Flagged as an exception, not silently accepted.
Statements with proper notes
Numbered notes, referenced from the face of the accounts, plus a real indirect-method statement of cash flows — not just a money-in-money-out summary.
A Copilot that knows your ledger
Ask why margin moved, drag any figure into the chat, talk to it, or have it draft a reversal for you to approve.
Close a period and mean it
The checklist surfaces unreconciled lines and open exceptions before locking, and every unlock is logged with a name and a timestamp.
Multiple locations, one entity
Tag entries by site or branch, then report on one or consolidate the lot.
Built for whoever's stuck with the books
The founder who's been avoiding it
A shoebox of receipts and a bank app. Upload the lot, confirm the drafts, and you have books that a lender will read.
The bookkeeper doing five sets at once
The typing disappears. What's left is review, exceptions and close — the part that actually needs you.
The accountant who inherits the mess
Immutable ledger, linked source document on every entry, complete audit log. Nothing to reconstruct.
