Connect what you already have
Your mailbox, your bank, the address suppliers invoice. Nothing about how the paperwork reaches you has to change — the platform goes to where it already lands.
Welcome to Your Books Today
Books that keep
themselves.
Bills, receipts and bank lines file themselves on a schedule, so nothing sits waiting for you to find an evening. And when you want to know how the business is doing, you ask — in the conversation you are already having — and the answer comes back while you are still in it.
How it works
Three things, and then it runs
Bookkeeping is mostly moving paper from where it arrived to where it belongs. That part is not a skill anyone should be spending an evening on.
02
It files itself, on a schedule
Work runs whether or not anyone is looking: reading what arrived, taking the figures off it, posting the journal, matching it to the bank. What it cannot settle on its own, it asks about.
03
Ask, where you already talk
Your books answer inside the assistant you use, as a set of named actions it can read and run. No new interface to learn, and no waiting for someone to prepare the answer.
One platform
Not a ledger and four subscriptions
Most businesses run their books on an accounting package, a receipt capture tool, a reconciliation add-on and a spreadsheet holding the bits none of them cover — each syncing to the others overnight, each with its own idea of the truth. All of this is one platform, over one ledger. Here is where it has got to.
The ledger
live nowEvery figure traces back to where it came from
Invoices, expenses, journals, accruals and prepayments, a chart of accounts and cost centres. Every posting anything makes — you, a rule, or an assistant — is a balanced journal you can open and read.
Reports
live nowProfit and loss, balance sheet, any period
Both statements are built by summing the entries, never from a total kept alongside them. A balance sheet that does not balance says so rather than rounding.
The mailbox
buildingBills arrive where they always did
Connect the address your suppliers already invoice. Scheduled work reads what came in, pulls the supplier, date, net, VAT and reference off the document, and files it. Nothing to forward, nothing to drag anywhere.
Receipts
buildingCapture without the separate subscription
Photograph it, forward it, or let it come in with the post. Extraction and coding are part of the platform rather than a second product you pay for and sync overnight.
Bank reconciliation
buildingMatched on its own, queried when it cannot be
The feed comes in, lines are matched against invoices, bills and expenses already posted, and what genuinely needs a human is the only thing that reaches you.
Period end
buildingThe quarter closes without a scramble
VAT, accruals released on schedule, the year rolled over. The work that currently piles up into three bad days becomes something that happened continuously.
Ask your books
Reporting that answers back.
A report is normally something you request, wait for, and read once. Here the question and the answer are the same moment — and the answer arrives as something to look at, a figure or a chart you can open a level deeper, rather than a PDF of how things stood on the day someone ran it.
It works the same way for the writing as for the reading. The books are exposed as a set of named actions: the ones that read, and the ones that post. Ask for an invoice and you get an invoice, with the journal behind it.
- > How did last month go against the one before it?
- > What are we owed, and who is slowest to pay?
- > Show me overheads by cost centre, year to date
- > Which bank lines are still unmatched, and why?
- > Raise the invoice for the Brookfield work and send it
While you are elsewhere
The books do not wait for you.
The reason books fall behind is not that anyone finds them hard. It is that the work only happens when a person sits down to it, and there is always something louder.
Here the work is scheduled instead. It runs overnight, or hourly, or at the end of the quarter, and it gets in touch only when something genuinely needs deciding.
What runs on its own
- Reading the mailbox and filing what came in
- Matching the bank feed against what is already posted
- Chasing an invoice that has gone past its terms
- Releasing accruals and prepayments when the period says so
- Raising what it cannot settle, in one message rather than forty
Automated, and still auditable.
Software that files things for you is only worth having if you can check it. Every posting here — whether a person made it, a rule made it, or an assistant made it — is a balanced journal with a date, a description and two sides, and you can open any of them.
Nothing is a figure the system invented and now maintains privately. The statements are summed from the entries every time they are asked for, which is why they can tell you when they do not balance.
Talk to usWhatever size you are
A sole trader wants the receipts to stop piling up and a straight answer about what to set aside. A group wants cost centres, intercompany and a consolidated view that is right on the day rather than six weeks later.
The same ledger serves both. What changes between them is how much of it you use — not which product you had to buy, and not whether you outgrow it in three years.
