How it actually works.

Four steps. No phone calls. No awkward conversations about how far behind you are.

Connect your QuickBooks
01

CONNECT

Connect your QuickBooks

One click through Intuit’s official OAuth — the same secure connection your CPA uses. Your password never touches our servers.

Once connected, we can see your chart of accounts, transactions, and existing categories. Everything stays inside your QBO — nothing gets exported or stored elsewhere. You can revoke access anytime.

🔒 Bank-level encryptionTakes ~30 seconds
We categorize everything — in minutes, not months

ANALYZE

We categorize everything — in minutes, not months

Your transactions get categorized automatically based on vendor history, amount patterns, and your business type. Duplicates get flagged. Errors get caught. Bank feeds get reconciled.

Already categorized some transactions yourself? We learn from your existing rules and apply them to the rest — so the work you’ve already done isn’t wasted.

REVIEW

Nothing changes without your approval

We flag anything that needs a second look — split transactions, unusual vendors, edge cases. You review and approve before it hits your books.

If we’re confident, we categorize automatically. If we’re not, we ask. We never override your intentional categorizations — and we never make changes without telling you.

Common questions about the process

How long does the whole process take?
Most catch-ups are done in 3–7 business days from the moment you connect your QBO. Complex jobs (12+ months, high transaction volume) may take up to 10 business days.
Do I need to do anything after connecting?
Nope. Once you connect QBO and confirm your quote, we handle everything. You'll get a notification when your clean books are ready for review.
What if the AI makes a mistake?
That's exactly what step 3 is for. Every AI categorization is reviewed by a human bookkeeper. The AI does the heavy lifting; humans ensure accuracy.
Can I see progress while you're working?
Yes — you'll have access to a dashboard showing where we are in the process. If we have questions about specific transactions, we'll reach out there.
What if I'm behind more than 24 months?
We handle those too. Our standard tiers cover 1–24 months. For longer periods, we'll put together a custom quote.
