It handles the repetitive admin around the books: capturing bills, chasing invoices, matching payments, keeping the month-end checklist moving and summarising cash. Your team reviews and approves; nothing is posted without a person. ### Can an AI agent do accounts payable and receivable? It can do most of the legwork — reading bills, drafting entries, sending reminders and matching payments — and leave approvals and judgement calls with your team. ### Does it work with QuickBooks or Xero? Yes. It connects to QuickBooks Online or Xero through their APIs, plus your email and payment tools. ### Will it replace our bookkeeper or accountant? No. It removes the chasing and data entry so your finance people can spend time on review, cash planning and advice. ### How much of our time does it take to set up? Under 10 hours of your team’s time from audit to go-live: a kickoff, a few short walkthroughs of how you work today, and a weekly check-in during the build. ## See what this would look like for you. A 30-minute call. We’ll look at how you work today and tell you what’s worth building — and what isn’t.
