The problem it solves

Pulling balances from several banks and payment platforms to build a consolidated report means logging into each one separately and copying numbers by hand. That manual process is slow and easy to get wrong.

Who it fits

A finance team or accountant managing consolidated reporting across multiple bank accounts.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system connects to your linked bank and payment accounts
  2. Balances are pulled from each account through your bank data provider
  3. Each account is matched to its QuickBooks name
  4. All balances are combined into one structured dataset
  5. The finished records are loaded into Google BigQuery
What you get

Bank balances lined up automatically

You get all your bank and payment account balances pulled together and loaded into one place every week, matched to your books.

What you get

An up-to-date, consolidated balance dataset in BigQuery ready for reporting.

What you need

A Plaid account, linked bank accounts, and a Google BigQuery 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.
