AI for Bookkeeping & Accounting Firms: Automate Invoice and AP Data Entry
Stop paying skilled bookkeepers to retype invoices. We build AI that pulls the data off any invoice, receipt, or statement and posts it to QuickBooks Online or Xero, so your team reviews instead of keys and you take on more clients without more hours.
Based in Southeast Michigan, serving bookkeeping and accounting firms across Detroit and nationwide.
How does AI automate bookkeeping data entry?
AI automates bookkeeping data entry by reading invoices, receipts, and statements the way a person does, extracting the vendor, amounts, line items, and dates, and posting them to your accounting system without per-vendor templates. For a bookkeeping firm that removes the single largest manual task, invoice and AP keying, and lets each bookkeeper handle more client books. It works on any invoice format and exports directly to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
What we build for bookkeeping firms
Practical automations that remove keystrokes from the workflows your team repeats on every client, every month.
Pull vendor, amounts, line items, and dates off any invoice format and post them straight to QuickBooks Online or Xero. No templates to configure, no per-vendor setup.
Automate the monthly chase: a pipeline that ingests receipts, statements, and invoices from email or a portal, classifies them, and files them against the right client and period.
Match transactions, flag the exceptions that actually need a human, and draft the categorizations so your team reviews instead of keys.
Turn the recurring month-end report your team rebuilds by hand into a pipeline: pull the numbers, format the package, and surface the variances worth a comment.
We do not just advise on this. We built it.

The same approach extends to receipts, statements, and bills.
No. It removes the keying, not the judgment. Your team stops typing invoices and statements and spends the time on review, exceptions, advisory, and client work. The goal is more clients per bookkeeper, not fewer bookkeepers.
Yes. Invoice and AP extraction exports directly to QuickBooks Online or Xero. For other tools we scope the integration during the audit so the output lands where your team already works.
