For the close workflow, not just the dashboard

What LedgerAI does that a finance dashboard does not.

General finance assistants can explain activity. LedgerAI turns business activity into a review workflow.

Turns activity into a Books Review

Every line categorized, personal charges separated, low-confidence rows flagged, captured in one review packet.

Creates a decision queue

Decisions that need your call surface as a short queue. You approve them. LedgerAI does not auto-categorize on your behalf.

Separates personal charges

Possible-personal rows are pulled out of business expense totals so the books reviewed reflect the business, not the owner.

Tracks QuickBooks update status

Every approved change shows what was written, what failed, and what was skipped. QuickBooks-safe updates with a paper trail.

Prepares accountant-ready exports

Summary CSV, transactions CSV, 1099-candidates CSV, plus a read-only share link your CPA can open without an account.

Learns your Memory Bank

Your vendor rules, account choices, and payment-source mappings persist as Memory Bank patterns. Future reviews remember what you already decided.

How It Works

A books review, in six steps.

LedgerAI does the mechanical work of the first pass and puts only what actually needs a decision in front of you.

  1. 1

    Connect QuickBooks or upload statements.

    OAuth in 60 seconds, or import bank and card statements if you are not on QuickBooks yet.

  2. 2

    LedgerAI reviews the period.

    Every transaction runs through known-vendor patterns and your saved rules first. Only genuinely uncertain rows go to AI.

  3. 3

    Routine cleanup is staged.

    High-confidence corrections are prepared with a full diff. Nothing is written to QuickBooks until you approve.

  4. 4

    You review only the uncertain items.

    A short queue holds the calls a human should make: ambiguous vendors, possible personal charges, contractor flags.

  5. 5

    Approved changes are written back or exported.

    Connected QuickBooks accounts get the updates posted with a change log. Statement-only customers get a CSV export.

  6. 6

    Send a clean summary to your accountant.

    A read-only share link gives your CPA the period's summary, contractor candidates, and exception list. They make the final tax call.

Your ledger remembers the patterns you trust.

LedgerAI builds a Memory Bank from the categories you confirm, so repeat vendors become easier to review over time.

Every correction is remembered.

Approve a vendor once and it is never in your review queue again. The first review catches the most. Every one after is faster.

    • Rules are per-business, not shared across accounts
    • Personal vendors flagged automatically on every future run
    • Manage or delete any rule from your dashboard
Your vendor rules (example)
Adobe Creative Cloud Software / Tech Always
B&H Photo Video Equipment Always
WHCC Print Lab Cost of Goods Always
Shell Gas Station Travel / Vehicle Always
Netflix Personal Flag always
Whole Foods Market Personal Flag always
Rules are added automatically when you approve or correct a transaction. You can also manage them manually.

Common questions.

Do I need to already have QuickBooks? +

Yes. LedgerAI connects to an existing QuickBooks Online account. If you don't have one, QuickBooks starts at $35/month. LedgerAI works with all QB Online plans.

How accurate is the categorization? +

For well-known vendors, accuracy is very high. For less common vendors or ambiguous transactions, LedgerAI assigns a confidence level. High-confidence items are applied automatically. Uncertain items go into your review queue. Accuracy improves over time as it learns your specific vendor patterns from corrections you approve.

Will it change my existing QuickBooks data? +

Only miscategorized or uncategorized transactions are updated. Everything else stays exactly as-is. You get a full report showing every change before and after, and the review queue shows what was flagged rather than automatically applied.

What if I have years of messy books? +

That is what the Full Year Books Review is for. Run it on any past year or date range. LedgerAI categorizes what it can confidently handle and puts the rest in your review queue. You approve corrections before anything is written to QuickBooks. Works back to 2020.

Is my financial data secure? +

Yes. We use OAuth2 to connect to QuickBooks and never store your QB password. All data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS; our managed PostgreSQL database uses volume-level encryption provided by our hosting infrastructure. We follow Intuit's partner security requirements and never sell your data or use it to train AI models outside your account.

Does LedgerAI replace my bookkeeper or CPA? +

No. LedgerAI handles the mechanical cleanup pass: categorizing known vendors, flagging uncertain items, surfacing duplicates, and building your review queue. Your bookkeeper or CPA still handles the work that requires professional judgment. Most customers find their accounting bills go down because they hand over cleaner books.

Can I just use a general finance assistant? +

General finance assistants can help explain spending. LedgerAI is built to prepare a Books Review, keep track of owner decisions, remember business-specific account choices, and package the work for QuickBooks or your accountant. LedgerAI surfaces potential issues and decisions. You approve decisions. Your CPA decides tax treatment.

Can I cancel anytime? +

Yes. Cancel anytime from your dashboard with one click. No cancellation fees, no lock-in. Your QuickBooks data stays exactly as-is.
