Business or personal?
Asks you
The software does the capturing and checks every line. You stay in control: it only asks what it can't answer.
Who it's for
Sound familiar?
- You run a business. You started it to do your work, not to capture slips and bank lines at night. Let the software do the capturing.
- You run payroll. Every month salaries need paying, deductions need to be right and payslips need to go out, no matter your level of payroll experience. No more late nights at the office.
- You do the books for a business. You know the work. What you don't have is time to search and correct by hand. Spend your time wisely, not capturing.
- You lead a business that's ready for AI. You can see AI changing how work gets done, but not where to start in your own business. Start with a pilot, not a leap.
There's a simpler way.
What's changed
Meet your team
AI specialists in accounting and payroll, each one deep in a single job, trained and checked by a Chartered Accountant with more than 23 years in practice. What once took a firm full of staff now works for your business.
AI
The bookkeeper
Reads your bank statements and slips, captures every line and reconciles the bank.
AI
The payroll specialist
Pays your people correctly, works out the deductions and sends the payslips.
CA(SA)
The accountant who checks
A Chartered Accountant who designed the rules the AI works by, and checks that the work is right.
It's not about importing anymore. It's about integrating.
What's new
Read, don't type
Nothing is typed twice. Everything is connected, right down to your email. The software reads your documents and does the work. You check it and approve it.
Documents file themselves
Drop a document in one inbox, or simply tag an email. The attachments and the email itself are read, named and filed under the right client and period. If it isn't sure, it asks you. It never guesses.
New clients set up from their documents
No forms to fill in. Link the client's folder once, and their details are read straight from the documents already in it.
Financial statements, drafted for you
The draft is built from the client's own records and last year's figures. Where a document shows a figure is wrong, it proposes the correction for you to approve.
Ask in plain language
One assistant answers from your real figures and does the work for you, but never changes anything without your OK.
A message from Louis
Why AI, and why now?
Years ago, the internet gave every business the kind of software only big companies could afford. Now AI is doing the same with know-how. The knowledge of an experienced accountant, once something only bigger businesses could pay for, can now be built right into the software.
So let's make it simpler. Minimise human involvement for yourself, your staff and your accountant, and productivity and profitability follow. AI takes that further than anything before it.

The result
Imagine knowing exactly where your business stands. Every day.
Simple must never mean careless. Every set of books is held to the standard a Chartered Accountant signs off on.
Valid
Every entry is a real transaction, backed by a document you can find.
Accurate
The right amount, in the right account, in the right period.
Complete
Nothing missing. Every bank line accounted for, every month.
Not a slogan. The standard.
