What does it do?
Accurate, automated data extraction

Dashboards backed by actionable insight
Day-to-day dashboards allow you to drill down into data and optimise your firm’s bookkeeping efficiency. Get actionable insight into rich data and align client activity with your own KPIs.
Key Benefits
Less manual data entry
Take the pain out of bookkeeping by removing manual data entry from your workflow and get a better view of missing paperwork. Take that time back to concentrate on creating value for your client.
Better client relationships
Save time on data processing and reinvest that time into having better conversations with clients and meeting deadlines.
Instant access to work to be done
See what your team needs to action for their clients, where there’s paperwork missing, and where there’s room to automate. Discover a real-time view of work to be done, avoiding the rush to meet deadlines at the end of the month.
