AI does the first-pass match on bank, credit card and AP sub-ledgers as transactions land, so your team is reviewing exceptions on day two instead of starting from zero once the month closes.

Straight answers to what people ask us most before they start.
No. AI drafts matches, flags exceptions and assembles working papers. A controller or bookkeeper reviews, approves and files everything; nothing posts or submits on its own.
It depends on the vendor's data handling, where the data is stored and processed, and what it's used for beyond your own account. Confirm those terms, especially for anything touching client or employee information, before piloting.
No. AI handles the first-pass matching and drafting; it doesn't replace the person who reviews the numbers, explains a variance, or is accountable for what gets filed.
It's built to work with what you already run — QuickBooks Online, Sage 50, Sage Intacct, Xero, NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The goal is to speed up matching and drafting inside your existing ledger, not migrate you to a new one.
Most accounting teams can run a scoped pilot on one workflow, such as bank reconciliation or GST/HST working papers, in four to eight weeks around a normal close cycle.
Free, no fluff — the tools, tactics and numbers that help Canadian businesses run leaner.
