Accounting & BookkeepingReconciliation & Cleanup Workflow3MediumBookkeeper$ implied

Accounting and bookkeeping firms lack an efficient workflow to resolve unclear or uncleaned transactions—like Amazon, Zelle, Venmo, and cash withdrawals—from client data, leading to manual follow-up through email, text, or spreadsheets.

Existing tools like QBO's Ask My Accountant, Uncat, Keeper, and TaxDome have portals for client communication, but clients often don't respond in those tools, forcing staff back to email or text follow-up, creating a fragmented and inefficient process.

It ingests messy bank/credit card exports, identifies unclear transactions, and auto-generates a simple, interactive list where clients can quickly categorize each item via a mobile-friendly interface. Bookkeepers get real-time updates and can push resolved transactions directly into QBO or Xero, eliminating email/text back-and-forth.

Key Features

Auto-import and parse bank/credit card CSVs, PDFs, and spreadsheets
AI-powered identification of ambiguous transactions (e.g., Amazon, Zelle, Venmo)
Client-friendly mobile interface with one-tap categorization and photo uploads
Direct sync to QBO, Xero, and other accounting software
Built-in messaging and status tracking for unresolved items

Target Users: Bookkeepers and accounting firms (1-50 staff) performing small business cleanup/catch-up work in the US

Revenue Model: $49/mo per bookkeeper seat, with a $99/mo premium tier that includes AI-enhanced auto-categorization and priority support
