What can finance and accounting automation do for my business?
It handles the repetitive side of payables and receivables: reading supplier invoices, preparing draft entries, routing approvals, sending payment reminders, suggesting bank reconciliation matches and preparing month-end reports. Your team focuses on review and decisions, and records are finalised only after accountant approval.
Can it send invoices and chase payments automatically?
Yes. It can issue invoices on schedule and send polite reminders by email or WhatsApp for unpaid ones, using rules and wording you approve. Disputed or sensitive accounts go to a person instead of receiving another reminder.
Can it reconcile my bank transactions?
It suggests matches between bank lines and your invoices and bills, and lists what doesn't line up. It won't match every transaction, so exceptions stay with your team and entries are finalised only after approval.
Do we need to replace our accounting software?
Usually not. We look at how your current system can be connected, through its API, a supported integration or import files, and build around it. If a reliable connection isn't possible, you hear that before any build starts.
What happens if it reads an invoice wrongly?
Each invoice is checked against your rules before a draft is created: totals, tax, supplier, duplicates and the right company. Anything unclear goes to a review queue, and a draft only becomes a posted entry after an accountant approves it. Data handling, AI providers and hosting are confirmed per project.
How do we know whether it is worth it?
We size today's workload, set a realistic improvement target and weigh it against build and running costs, then agree how results will be checked. The estimator above gives a quick first view before we talk.
Do you work with AutoCount?
Yes. One of our case studies is AutoCount invoice entry for a Malaysian accounting firm: around 1,500 invoices a month, with time per invoice down from about 5 minutes to under 1 minute including review, and entries created as drafts. Read the case study, or see AutoCount e-invoice automation.
How long does it take to set up?
It depends on the systems, document types, data quality and testing involved. We confirm a timeline in the initial plan after the free discovery, and begin with one workflow, such as invoice intake or reminders.
