How it works
AI does the heavy lifting. A CPA signs off.
Five steps from upload to delivered books. Honest about which steps the AI does, which a human does, and where the line is on Starter.
- 01
You upload (or connect a bank)
Drop in bank and credit-card statements, receipts, vendor invoices, 1099s. Bytes go straight to encrypted storage via signed URLs — never through our API. Plaid bank connect is on the roadmap.
- 02
AI classifies and proposes journal entries
An AI pipeline reads the document, extracts the transactions, and produces double-entry journal-entry proposals against your seeded chart of accounts. Confidence scores attach to every proposal.
- 03
A CPA reviews (Pro+ and Business+) — or it auto-posts (Starter)
On Professional+ and Business+, Brickstone & Associates reviews each proposal in a queue: approve, reject, or edit-then-approve. On Starter, high-confidence proposals auto-post; reports carry an "AI-prepared, not CPA-reviewed" disclosure on every page.
- 04
Period closes monthly
Cutoff → reconciliation tasks → AJEs → CPA sign-off → period locked. A snapshot of every report is persisted at close, so the numbers you saw last month never change without an explicit reopen.
- 05
You get your reports
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and a tax handoff package. Personal customers get a 1040-friendly variant. Business+ adds a public REST API for direct integration.
