Engagement

How we roll it out

A 5-step process from kickoff to handover. Every step has a deliverable you can sign off on.

  1. 01

    Chart of accounts

    Map your COA to the agent's categorisation rules.

  2. 02

    Historical training

    Learn from 12 months of past bookkeeper decisions.

  3. 03

    Parallel run

    Agent + bookkeeper agree on most entries before automation.

  4. 04

    Auto-categorise + review

    Bookkeeper now reviews exceptions, not every line.

  5. 05

    Close acceleration

    Monthly close drops from 10 days to 3.

Real numbers we see when Bookkeeping Agent ships on top of an actual workflow. Specifics vary with starting baseline, data quality, and scope — but these are the ranges.

Outcome 01

10d → 3d

Close acceleration

Monthly close compresses as bookkeeping moves from manual to exception-based.

Outcome 02

Per invoice — extraction, matching, routing, posting.

Outcome 03

+12%

Collection rate

Tone-aware, multi-touch dunning sequences outperform manual.

Sample use cases

What this looks like in practice

Three concrete scenarios where teams deploy Bookkeeping Agent today. Your engagement starts with one of these (or your own variant) and expands from there.

01

AP automation end-to-end

Vendor emails an invoice — extracted, matched to PO, routed for approval based on amount + dept, posted to QuickBooks, paid on terms. Finance reviews exceptions only.

02

Friendly collections that actually work

Overdue invoices trigger a multi-touch sequence — friendly at 5 days, firm at 30, payment-plan offer at 60 — with tone tuned to your brand.

03

Live cash forecast

Bank + AR + AP + payroll merged into one weekly cash position with scenarios — CFO sees the runway impact of any decision in seconds.

Typical engagement
