Audit-grade AI · built for accounting firms
AI agents tuned for accounting reasoning handle each engagement's reconciliation, AR / AP, sales-tax, and variance work — with the evidence trail attached and your firm's rules applied consistently.
AI does the substantive work. Your partner signs the workpaper. Your firm's rule library compounds the longer you use it.
Audit-trail by default
every match, override, and AI proposal is signed, timestamped, and exportable as a per-engagement workpaper
AI tuned for accounting reasoning
months of prompt + tool engineering specifically for reconciliation, AR/AP, sales-tax, and variance work — not a generic chatbot
Firm-authored rules that compound
write a categorization or approval rule once in plain English, apply it consistently across every engagement, every client
If your firm's month-end looks like a dozen ledger tabs, three Excel trackers, and a Slack channel called #close-week — Auditable Books is built for you. Every workflow is designed around how a firm actually closes, reviews, and defends its work.
Partner close queue — today
"18 clients. 4 recs finalized. 3 awaiting partner sign-off. 1 sales-tax variance > $2k flagged for Acme Inc."
Bank and credit-card reconciliations that eat the first week of every month
AR / AP aging comparisons that nobody has time to do invoice-by-invoice
Sales-tax filings where the input-credit math is guessed, not recomputed
Year-over-year variances your senior has to hand-explain to the partner
A dozen ledger tabs open, one reviewer, no central queue of what still needs sign-off
Workpapers that live in three Excel files and nobody can re-run on demand
Every match, variance, override, and AI proposal is timestamped with the human approver and the rule that fired. One-click CSV + PDF workpaper per engagement — drop it straight into your review binder, your firm’s working papers, or a regulator response file.
One login covers your full client roster. Switch between client ledgers without re-authenticating; surface a partner-level triage view like "which engagements still have an un-reconciled bank account this month?" so the audit work itself — still done per engagement, per professional standard — starts from the right place every morning.
Write a categorization, matching, or approval rule once — in plain English — and it applies consistently across every engagement your firm runs. The longer your firm uses Auditable Books, the larger your rule library grows. Switching cost compounds; quality consistency improves; junior-staff training shortens.
The core workflows are built on a ledger-agnostic data model. Your firm gets the same workspace whether the underlying books are in one major cloud accounting platform or another — no second-class experience for non-majority clients.
AI built for the close — not for chat
Most general-purpose AI is built to answer questions. Our agent is built to produce the artifact your reviewer asks for — a reconciled bank account, a tied-out tax filing, an explainable variance — with the source data, the rule that fired, and the numeric proof attached to every proposal.
The agent reads your general ledger end-to-end — chart of accounts, class / location dimensions, historical categorization — and makes proposals the way a staff accountant would. Not "type a question, get a paragraph" — concrete, reviewable postings.
Every AI suggestion comes with the source rows, the rule that fired, and the numeric tie-out. If the agent says "HST payable is off by $412.55," the workpaper showing the 9 rows that caused it is one click away — ready for the binder.
Write your firm’s categorization and approval rules once in plain English — "any Amazon charge under $200 on the ops card goes to Supplies" — and the agent applies them consistently across every client file.
No auto-post to the books without explicit accountant approval. Every AI action lands as a proposal with its reasoning visible. Your partner signs — not the AI.
Design principle
The AI never posts to your clients' books without human approval. Every proposal is reviewable, every action is logged, and every workpaper is exportable. You stay accountable — the AI just does the typing.
The Reconciliation Suite
Each workflow ingests the messy source-of-truth (CSV, OFX, PDF, pasted Excel), produces the exact output an accountant reviewer expects, and lands an exportable evidence bundle the partner can defend.
Upload a CSV / OFX / PDF statement. The agent two-way matches it against the ledger, surfaces differences and book-only rows, and ties out statement activity vs GL activity — or tells you exactly where they diverge. One drawer per client, one decision per row.
Pull Aged Receivables (or Payables) as at two dates and walk the movement invoice-by-invoice: paid, still open, aged further, voided, written off. Ranked by $ × age so the partner knows which clients to chase first.
Recompute total sales, tax collected, and input credits from the P&L using per-jurisdiction rules (meals, capital, zero-rated, exempt). Show variance vs what the filer is about to report — before the filing goes out.
Two-period trial balance, configurable $ and % thresholds, per-variance GL drill with AI attribution. "Utilities up $8.4k (+42%): driver was a March reclass from Rent." Ready for the board pack or the audit binder.
For business owners
Auditable Books is primarily a tool for the accountant running your books — not a daily dashboard for you. What you get indirectly, when your firm uses it, is a partner-reviewed month-end that closes on time, workpapers that survive scrutiny, and proactive alerts when something looks off.
If you don't have an accounting firm yet, we'll refer you to one using Auditable Books.
Pilots are free for the first reconciliation engagement. Tell us how many clients your firm manages and which ledger(s) you use — we'll set you up with a dedicated workspace within a week.
Our first integration is with the most widely used cloud accounting platform used by North American firms. Adapters for the other major cloud ledgers are on the near roadmap — the workflow engine is ledger-agnostic, so non-primary integrations are feature-complete from day one, not a second-class experience.
Yes — that is the primary use case. The multi-client switcher is in early access today, and "firms mode" with per-client queues, shared rules, partner sign-off, and firm-wide analytics rolls out over the next two quarters.
Built-in reconciliation screens assume every line is already posted to the ledger. Real-world recs start with a PDF or CSV bank statement that has rows not yet posted. Auditable Books ingests the statement, two-way matches against the GL, proposes the missing transactions with AI-generated categorization, and produces a defensible workpaper — all before you touch the native reconcile button.
General chatbots answer questions; our AI agent performs accounting work. It reads the ledger end-to-end, follows firm-authored rules, produces reviewable proposals (never auto-posts), and attaches source evidence to every suggestion. It is specialized for the close, the reconciliation, and the variance — not for search.
Every agent action, user override, and tool call is persisted with (who, when, inputs, rule, output). We expose this as a per-session decision trail in the UI and as an export endpoint your firm can drop into its working papers. Designed to survive an external audit or a tax-authority review of your process.
Your clients’ books stay where they live today — in your firm’s cloud accounting platform. Auditable Books stores reconciliation history, AI decision trails, and workpaper metadata in your firm’s tenant — exportable at any time, deletable on disconnect.
Pricing is per-firm with a client-count tier, not per-end-user. Pilots are free for the first full reconciliation engagement so you can see the workpaper output before committing. We’ll share full pricing during your pilot intake call.
The product is tuned for the firm workflow — reviewer queues, partner sign-off, firm-wide rules. If a business owner wants day-to-day "chat with your books" inside their accounting platform, they should use the built-in tool their platform already ships. What Auditable Books gives the owner indirectly is the byproduct of a better-served accountant: faster month-ends, cleaner deliverables, proactive variance alerts from the firm.
