Straight answers to what people ask us most before they start.
No. AI proposes the coding on every transaction; a person confirms it before it posts to your books. Nothing is coded and forgotten.
It depends on the vendor's data handling and where information is stored and processed. Confirm data residency and retention terms — and how the tool handles personal information under PIPEDA — before connecting a live bank feed.
No. AI handles the repetitive first pass — coding, matching, chasing paperwork. Your bookkeeper or external accountant still reviews the books and makes the calls that require judgment.
It can flag likely input tax credits based on the coding and vendor, but confirming eligibility and keeping the supporting receipt CRA requires stays a human step — usually your bookkeeper's.
Most operations see the coding suggestions get noticeably more accurate within the first few weeks of corrections, as the system learns from what gets changed on review.
Free, no fluff — the tools, tactics and numbers that help Canadian businesses run leaner.
