The problem it solves

You dread the end of the month when you have to sit down and manually key every bank transaction into QuickBooks one line at a time. It is slow, easy to mess up, and takes time away from actually running your business.

Who it fits

Small business owners, bookkeepers, and accountants who reconcile bank transactions in QuickBooks.

How it works

  1. You paste your bank transactions into a shared Google Sheet
  2. You or a team member label each transaction with a category and vendor
  3. The automation reads the categorized rows from the spreadsheet
  4. It creates a matching expense entry in QuickBooks Online for each row
What you get

Categorized expenses posted straight into QuickBooks

Once you categorize a transaction in your spreadsheet, it shows up as a properly recorded expense in QuickBooks automatically.

What you get

A set of expense entries created in QuickBooks Online, matching your categorized spreadsheet.

What you need

A QuickBooks Online account and a Google Workspace account.

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.
