Core Building Blocks of Automated Financial Management

Connect your bank and card accounts to stream transactions into your ledger automatically. Categorization rules learn your patterns, slashing month-end crunch time. With clean bank reconciliation, your balance sheet stops drifting, and decisions reflect reality instead of lagging spreadsheets.

Cash Flow, Forecasting, and Peace of Mind

Pull real receivables, payables, and payroll dates into a 13-week model that updates automatically. See when balances tighten, move timelines, and schedule payments with confidence. The goal is fewer cliff edges, more steady steps, and a calm owner steering the ship.

Compliance, Controls, and Security by Design

Every transaction should tell its story: who created it, when it changed, and why. Automated systems preserve attachments, notes, and approvals, so reviews become verification, not detective work. Auditors relax; you keep operating, confident your records are complete and consistent.

Compliance, Controls, and Security by Design

Set thresholds that trigger approvals for bills, expenses, and refunds. Limit access to sensitive accounts, and require dual control for critical actions. Automation enforces rules uniformly, reducing human error and helping new team members adopt good habits from day one.

KPIs and Dashboards That Drive Decisions

Real-Time Profitability and Trends

Track gross margin, operating margin, and cash runway in real time. Let automation refresh numbers overnight and highlight deviations from plan. When margin slips, drill down to product, location, or campaign, and fix the cause before it compounds into bigger issues.

Alerts That Nudge Action

Configure alerts when receivables age past target, inventory turns slow, or burn rate accelerates. Gentle, timely nudges beat end-of-month surprises. Share which alert would save you most stress, and we’ll help you calibrate thresholds so signals are clear, not noisy.

Unit Economics for Small Teams

Automate allocation of costs to products or projects, then watch contribution margins in a single view. Understanding unit economics helps you price properly, discontinue unprofitable offers, and double down where customers value you most. Tell us your product mix for tailored metrics.

Integrations That Make Data Flow

Connect Shopify or your POS to accounting so orders, fees, and payouts sync accurately. Map sales tax and tender types once, then trust daily summaries. Fewer reconciliation mysteries mean faster closes and more time to analyze which products truly carry the store.

Integrations That Make Data Flow

When a deal closes, create invoices automatically with correct terms, items, and customer details. Sync status back to sales so follow-ups align with payments. This connection shortens the quote-to-cash cycle and gives teams a shared, real-time view of commitments and collections.

Choose one workflow to automate first—like invoice reminders—and train only the people involved. Document the steps with screenshots and short videos. Small victories create trust, and trust fuels the next automation. What’s your first candidate for a low-risk, high-impact win?
