The problem it solves

You know bookkeeping matters, but logging every receipt and invoice by hand always falls to the bottom of the list. By the time you sit down to review your finances, you're missing details and starting the month with no clear picture of where your money went.

Who it fits

Solopreneurs, coaches, and small business owners who want a clear monthly financial picture without doing the bookkeeping themselves.

How it works

  1. On a set day each month, the system scans your Gmail for receipts and invoices
  2. AI reads each one and pulls out the date, vendor, amount, and category
  3. New transactions are logged into Google Sheets, skipping anything already recorded
  4. The system totals income and expenses and builds a spending breakdown chart
  5. You receive an email report with the numbers, chart, and AI-written recommendations
What you get

A clear monthly read on where your money went

Every month you receive a clear report of your income, expenses, and spending breakdown pulled straight from your email receipts.

What you get

A monthly email report showing income, expenses, net profit, and where your money is going.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
