Accounting integration

Accounting Integration

Most of what ends up in accounting starts somewhere else: a shipped order, a finished job, a delivered pallet, a vendor bill. We connect those events to your accounting system so invoices go out when the work is done and nobody has to re-key them.

Practical examples for your business.

01

Work done → invoice

The shipment or job completion creates the invoice in accounting with the right lines, quantities and prices, ready to review or send.

The problem: An order ships or a job finishes, and the invoice waits until the office catches up.

02

Payment received → everyone knows

Payments recorded in accounting update the customer's status in the CRM or ERP and notify whoever needs to know.

The problem: A customer pays, but sales and operations only find out from the aging report.

03

Vendor bills → accounts payable

Bills are read from the email attachments, matched to purchase orders where they exist, and entered as drafts for approval.

The problem: Vendor invoices arrive by email and are keyed into accounting by hand.

A practical approach

Connect the tools your team already uses.

The right starting point depends on your people, information, and business goals. We agree the scope together.

  • Common systems: QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage, Oracle NetSuite, FreshBooks
  • Create invoices and bills from events in other systems
  • Map items, customers and accounts between systems
  • Sync payment status back to your CRM or ERP
  • Send exceptions to a person for approval
  • Agree on data access and review steps before implementation
  • Define a clear scope, price, and handoff together

Systems around the workflow

Build around your existing accounting tools.

Get invoices, payments and bills into your books from the systems where the work actually happens. We identify the source of truth, permitted access, field mapping, and a safe way to handle failed or repeated requests.

The records and rules

Use approved supplier and customer records, account mappings, tax treatment, document references, and payment terms from the accounting system.

The staff decisions

Prepare drafts when information is uncertain. Posting, payments, new supplier details, and bank-account changes require the organization's explicitly agreed approvals.

What the pilot should prove

Reconcile source documents and totals. Test duplicate references, credits, partial payments, unknown accounts, missing approvals, and failed posting attempts.

When a connection fails

Keep a traceable record of what was requested, what completed, and what needs review. Agree retry limits, duplicate protection, staff fallback, and the owner who resolves a failed update before launch.

Accounting & office teams

Invoice intake and reconciliation

Reduce repetitive invoice entry by extracting fields and comparing them with known suppliers, purchase orders, and prior invoices. Give staff a draft they can check against the original document.

From request to completion

  1. 1An invoice arrives in the agreed mailbox or upload location.
  2. 2The document workflow extracts supplier, invoice number, dates, amounts, and line items.
  3. 3Rules compare the result with supplier records, purchase orders, totals, and possible duplicates.
  4. 4Uncertain fields and mismatches go to a reviewer alongside the original invoice.
  5. 5The approved draft is saved in accounting; payment remains under the existing authorization process.

Your team stays in control

Keep duplicate checks, approval limits, and reconciliation. Flag bank-detail changes for separate verification and preserve the original document.

What connects

Invoice mailbox, document storage, supplier master data, purchase orders, and accounting.

A practical first pilot

Test a representative set of supplier formats and create drafts only until staff verify extraction and matching.

How to evaluate it

Track entry time, exception rate, duplicate detection, and agreement between approved records and source documents.

Implementation, end to end

A working process your team can operate.

01

Understand the current work

Walk through a real request with the people doing the job. Identify the source records, decisions, bottlenecks, and exceptions before choosing software.

02

Build a useful pilot

Define a limited starting scope and create a working version. Test representative requests alongside difficult cases, missing data, and failed connections.

03

Launch with clear ownership

Agree access, approval steps, acceptance checks, and a release plan. Show staff how to use the system, review exceptions, and contact the responsible owner.

04

Maintain and improve

Provide the agreed documentation and handoff. Review usage, operating costs, and issues; define support coverage and future changes in the engagement.

Connect the rest of the workflow.

Documents & administrative workflows

Turn incoming forms, invoices, orders, and documents into organized records and review queues. Keep a link to the original information so staff can check the result.

Connected systems & reporting

Connect the systems you already use, clean up agreed data, and create useful operational views of customers, jobs, orders, and exceptions.

Before we begin

The questions that shape your project.

Bring the business problem. We can help translate it into a practical technical plan.

Can you work with our existing software?

We review the systems you use, available APIs or supported imports, subscription requirements, and access permissions. The scope identifies which connections can be implemented and which need an alternative.

What do you need from our team?

A process owner, examples of the current work, and access to the systems included in the scope. Your staff help confirm the business rules, review a pilot, and decide whether the result is ready to use.

How are cost and success agreed?

The proposal defines deliverables, assumptions, responsibilities, acceptance checks, and pricing. Third-party subscriptions and usage costs are identified separately. We choose meaningful measures from your existing process rather than promise an untested result.

What happens after launch?

The agreement defines code and account ownership, documentation, training, deployment responsibilities, and any ongoing support. Staff get a clear way to handle failures and requests for changes.

Let’s talk about what you want to improve.

A short conversation can help you decide where AI and better systems would make a useful difference.
