Scale Your Bookkeeping Firm Without Adding Headcount

Stop chasing clients for bank statements and receipts. We build automated workflows that handle document collection, onboarding, and monthly close notifications.

The 'Month-End Close' is a recurring bottleneck for bookkeeping firms. Most bookkeepers spend over 30% of their billable hours manually emailing clients for missing information or re-categorizing transactions because of broken bank feeds. This administrative drag limits your ability to take on more clients without burning out your staff.

By integrating tools like Karbon, Dext, and QuickBooks Online via custom API connections, we eliminate the manual follow-up cycle. Our automation frameworks ensure GAAP compliance while reducing the time-to-close for each client by an average of 4 business days. Instead of your team spending 10 hours a week on 'Where is this receipt?' emails, they focus on high-value advisory services.

Problems We Solve

Chasing Client Documents

We automate recurring requests for bank statements and payroll reports via Dext or Hubdoc, sending smart reminders until the files are uploaded.

Manual Client Onboarding

Standardize the setup of QBO files, Slack channels, and engagement letters automatically, eliminating hours of manual data entry for every new lead.

Bank Feed Monitoring

Get instant alerts for disconnected bank feeds or large uncategorized transactions before the end of the month, avoiding last-minute scrambles.

Scope Creep & Billing

Automatically track billable hours against project milestones in Karbon or ClickUp to ensure out-of-scope work is flagged and invoiced correctly.

Monthly Close Delays

Automated status updates and 'missing info' dashboards for clients ensure they provide final inputs by the 5th of every month, keeping you on schedule.
