Accounting & BookkeepingReconciliation & Cleanup Workflow3MediumBookkeeper$ implied

Accountants frequently catch miscategorized transactions (transfers posted as income, duplicate bank feed entries) during month-end review, but feel they are catching errors too late and may be missing issues that others would spot immediately.

Existing accounting software (QBO, Xero) lacks intelligent, automated error detection for common issues like transfer vs income misclassification and duplicate transactions, forcing manual scanning.
