How the work runs.

Read QBO changes, email attachments, bank or payment exports, and shared accounting folders for the selected period.
02
Match support to records
Pair receipts, bills, invoices, statements, deposits, and email confirmations with the matching accounting records.
03
Classify exceptions
Separate missing receipts, unusual vendors, duplicate-looking expenses, stale estimates, overdue invoices, and unexplained deposits.
04
Prepare audit trail notes
Write source-backed notes with links to QBO records, emails, files, and the reason each item needs review.
05
Draft AP and AR follow-ups
Prepare polite customer, vendor, and internal messages for missing support, payment status, and approval questions.
06
Hand off a review queue
Show the operator only the exceptions, drafts, and approval decisions needed for the day.

Missing receipt and invoice checklist
Audit trail notes with source links
AP and AR follow-up drafts
Review queue for approvals
Approval controls
Where people stay in the loop.
QBO creates, updates, voids, and deletes stay approval-gated.
External email drafts remain editable until a person approves send or save.
Files can be summarized automatically, but moves, renames, shares, and deletes require approval.
The final accounting decision remains with the finance operator or accountant.
Rollout path
How to start.
1
Start with read-only QBO, email, and file access for one company or client.
2
Define the daily exception categories and the approval owner for each category.
3
Add bank exports, custom reports, or client-specific close rules after the first review cycle is stable.
