AI agents
AI agents for accounting, built by people who keep books
Accounting has more repetitive work than almost any other function, and less room for error. An AI agent can take over the repetitive part if it works through your accounting system's own rules and a person approves anything that touches the ledger.
Jobs an agent can take over

Why accountants should build it
An agent that posts a wrong entry is worse than no agent. We are an accountancy practice as well as a software team, and every agent we build drafts rather than posts, logs everything and respects client confidentiality, including keeping clients out of its reach until they agree.
Questions people ask
01
Does it work with QuickBooks and Xero?
Yes, through their APIs. Odoo works best because the agent can live inside it.02
Is client data safe?
The agent runs on your own AI account, sees only clients you allow, and changes nothing without approval.03
Can it file tax returns?
No. It prepares and checks; a person files.Read next
