AI's reasoning: matches past meals expenses at this vendor, but weekend date and no client noted lower the confidence — may be personal.

What we're building

UpperBooks flags what needs a decision — categorization, missing accounts, compliance risk. Checked the same way, every time. Nothing changes until you approve it.

How it works
STEP 1

Data arrives

Transactions, the chart of accounts, and past history sync in automatically — so the AI learns this client's patterns from day one.

STEP 2

AI analyzes

Checked against IRS guidance, your chart of accounts, and bookkeeping best practices — flagging what needs a decision.

STEP 3

Your bookkeeper decides

They agree, or reject and correct it — teaching the AI for next time. Every decision is saved to a batch.

STEP 4

The client approves

They review the batch and approve it. Only then does it write back to your accounting software.

Reconciled transactions are never touched, even after approval.

One shared workspace

Where the team keeps each other in the loop.

Every client gets one activity feed — the AI's work, your team's replies, and the decisions that followed, all in one place. Nothing gets lost in a separate inbox.

Comment, resolve, and follow what matters — the whole history stays with the client, not scattered across email threads.

Clients are part of the conversation too — not locked out of it.

I'll check the vendor portal — might just be a duplicate export.

Good catch — this client's pass-through income qualifies. I'll flag it for their CPA at filing.

Who it's for

Accounting and bookkeeping practices,
and the businesses they look after.

From a one-person shop to a growing firm — the goal is less busywork. AI does the first pass, you make the final call.

A
Practice admin
The accountant who runs the practice — adds staff and oversees every client.
B
Bookkeepers
Manage the clients assigned to them — the day-to-day of the books.
O
Business owners
See their own business, answer questions, and weigh in on the thread.
E
Employees
Invited by the owner, with access scoped to just what they need.
Each level only sees what belongs to it
01

If you're the business owner

You always decide. Your bookkeeper prepares the work; nothing writes back to QuickBooks until you approve the batch.

02

If you're watching the budget

You always see the cost. AI spend runs on prepaid credits, tracked to the penny — no surprise bill.

03

If you want oversight, not surprises

AI watches a synced copy of your books. It never changes the real ones without your approval.
