The shift
Not a bot that answers a chat window. A working bookkeeper that pulls, posts, chases, files, and summarises — every weeknight, every weekend, every public holiday.
Syncs the bank ledger, Stripe payouts, Wise transfers, and any open invoices from your invoicing tool. Logs every receipt hash landed in your inbox.
Reads the PDF, reads the line item, reads the description. Where they line up — they post. Where they don't — they sit on the desk for a closer look.
Marks invoices paid, surfaces the ones that aren't, drafts and sends the polite follow-up that you would have written at 11pm if you weren't already tired.
Every coffee, every AWS line, every contractor payout gets a GL code. New vendors get a temporary bucket and a note — you only spend attention on the ones that matter.
A categorised trial balance, an exception list with plain-English explanations, and a one-paragraph shift report lands on your screen before you have opened your laptop.
What lands on your screen
The agent doesn't write a journal and leave you to translate. It writes the three documents an accountant actually opens in the morning.

Where it listens
Pulls from the things you already use. Doesn't replace them. Sits beside them and keeps the ledger honest.

All AWS, Notion, and contractor payouts lined up on the first pass. Two sales-receipt PDFs from Toast filed under "Office coffee" pending a rename next quarter.
Their 11 Aug wire was £420 short of invoice INV-1042. Sent a polite, two-line follow-up at 01:08 with the invoice and the receipts attached. They replied at 08:40.
HSBC rotated their API key overnight. Rather than wake you, the agent filed the gap as an "Awaiting bank" exception and re-pulled the missing 12 transactions at 06:11 when the new key took.
