The Complete Process in 4 simple steps

From raw bank data to perfectly categorized transactions ready for QuickBooks or Xero import

01
Upload Your Bank Statement

To ensure maximum compatibility and user convenience, the platform supports the ingestion of bank statements across three primary digital formats: the static, widely-used PDF; the structured, raw data format of CSV; and the comprehensive spreadsheet functionality of Excel (both .xls and .xlsx file types). Immediately following a successful file import, the proprietary AI processing engine is automatically engaged. This instantaneous, seamless initiation of processing ensures that the financial data analysis commences without delay, moving the user directly into the insight generation phase. 

02
Automatic Data Extraction & Categorization

Utilizing intelligent, smart financial data enrichment algorithms, our platform goes beyond basic processing. It meticulously analyzes each transaction record in real-time to fill crucial data gaps, specifically identifying and correcting instances where payee details are absent and automatically allocating the transaction to the most relevant account category. This deep enrichment significantly improves data quality and accuracy for better financial management. 

03
Review, Approve, or Automate

Empower your financial workflow by utilizing flexible, user-defined rules to intelligently automate the creation and submission of repetitive and recurring entries. For comprehensive oversight, easily sort and isolate specific items using advanced, integrated filtering mechanisms, then swiftly address exceptions or discrepancies through dedicated collaboration features designed for instant client communication and feedback.
