Throughout Balances

The paperwork does itself.

Receipts find their bank charge, bills fill themselves in and bank lines arrive with a category. Ask the agent anything about your own numbers.

Reads your receipts

Forward, upload, snap or text a receipt and it shows up next to the card charge it belongs to, vendor and amount filled in.


The whole business. In one app.

Send invoices, track jobs, reconcile your bank and run reports without switching between four tools, in the same books your accountant works in.

Meet your agent

Name it. Give it a personality. Teach it how you work.

Every workspace comes with an agent you talk to in plain English, named Sam by default. Keep the name, switch to Jackson or Jo, or pick your own and describe how it should talk to you. Teach it your rules once, like "book anything from the supply house as Job Materials," and it follows them.

Describe how it should talk to you, in your own words

Save skills in plain English and run any of them by typing /

Share skills with your whole workspace, or keep them to yourself

Ask what a customer owes or when cash gets tight, answered from your own books

One place for everything that needs you

Everything waiting on you, in one queue

The Review feed puts everything waiting on you in one place: new transactions Balances categorized, bank payments it matched to invoices and bills, transfers it paired, reimbursements and drafts. Approve them one at a time, a group at a time, or every bank-line suggestion at once.

Categories, invoice and bill matches, transfers, reimbursements and drafts in one list

Suggestions say why, such as a rule you saved or how you booked that vendor before

Approve one, "Approve all" for a group, or "Approve every bank line" at once

Change a whole group's category or contact, then approve it in one step

Get paid

Invoices, estimates, and payments in one place

Send a branded estimate, let the customer accept it online, and convert it to an invoice in one click. Get paid by card or ACH bank transfer through Stripe, and turn on reminders so late payers get nudged without you writing the emails.

Pay-by-link invoices with card and ACH bank payments via Stripe

Paperwork, handled

Receipts and bills, matched to the bank charge

Email a receipt to your Inbox, or drop it in. Balances reads it and suggests the matching bank charge, and one click files it there, so you avoid entering it twice. Bank statements land as a single reconcile-ready card instead of a pile of rows to sort.

A second look

Ask for a review of your books

Ask the agent to look over a month and it reads your P&L, balance sheet and the Books checks, then lists what looks off: invoices running overdue, profit that isn’t turning into cash, an outflow with no detail. Each finding says where to fix it.

Reads the statements and the Books checks together

Real accounting underneath

Reconciliation, done properly

Drop your bank statement in chat and the agent finds what your books are missing, books it and reconciles the month. Or enter the statement balance, check off transactions and watch the difference settle to zero. Real double-entry, accrual or cash basis, and multi-currency on the Global plan.

Why we built this

Most accounting software was designed 20 years ago. You click through menus, fill out forms, and wait for reports.

We think you should just be able to say what you need.

So we built Balances around the agent. It isn't a feature — it's the interface.
