Accounts payable and financial automation

Accounts payable automation captures supplier invoices from email or scans and reads and codes them. It checks them against purchase orders and sends them into your accounting software for approval. We set it up around the system you already use, such as QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books or Tally. Your team still approves every payment.

Plan. Build. Deploy. Live in 90 days.

Your first automation is live within 30 days, or we keep working free until it is.

If your first automation isn’t live within 30 days, you get your money back. See the terms

Everything we automate here

  • Supplier invoices from email, PDF or photos read and posted as bills in QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Zoho Books or Tally
  • Two-way or three-way matching against purchase orders and receipts in NetSuite, Zoho Books or the client's ERP, with mismatches flagged
  • Approval routing by amount or department by email, Slack or WhatsApp, with payment release kept with the client
  • Duplicate-invoice and unusual-amount checks before posting
  • Bank statement lines matched to invoices and payments
  • Overdue invoice reminders with a payment link (Stripe or Razorpay), stopped once paid
  • A daily cash, payables and receivables summary for the owner or finance lead
  • Month-end reports compiled from the accounting system

Will it work with the tools we already use?

Yes. We connect it to your existing systems, so data moves between them on its own and nobody copies it by hand.

Questions buyers ask

Which accounting processes can be automated with AI?

Invoice capture, coding, matching against purchase orders, approval routing, payment reminders and bank reconciliation can all be automated. Releasing a payment stays with a person.

Can accounts payable automation integrate with my existing accounting software?

Yes. We build around the accounting system you already run, so bills, approvals and payment status stay in one place. [Accounting systems we have built and tested]

Which accounts payable software is best for small businesses?

Usually the accounting system you already run, with automation built around it. We don't resell software, so we recommend a change only when your current system can't do the job.

What is the typical implementation process for accounts payable automation?

We map how invoices flow today, connect your inbox and accounting system, run the automation alongside your team until the results match, then switch over.

Can AI read scanned, handwritten or photographed invoices?

Yes for clear scans and photos; messy handwriting is less reliable. Any field the AI isn't sure of goes to a person to check before it's posted.

Is automation worth it if I process fewer than 50 invoices a month?

Often not for invoice capture alone. It starts to pay when it also handles approvals, reminders and reconciliation, so tell us your volumes and we'll say honestly whether it's worth it.

Do I still need my accountant if I automate accounting?

Yes. Automation does the data entry and chasing; your accountant still reviews the books, advises you and signs off.
