01 — The challenge today
Where the
time goes.
- Coding invoices is repetitive but high-stakes — a wrong account code creates downstream errors that compound across the P&L and tax return.
- New suppliers and ambiguous line descriptions fall into a suspense account and wait for someone to notice.
- The same supplier is often coded differently across months because there's no shared memory of prior decisions.
- Staff spend the better part of a day re-keying information that is already in a PDF sitting in the portal.
02 — How the agent works
It acts —
not just answers.
Two hundred lines reviewed, not two hundred lines typed. Coding is where junior time disappears and where review notes breed. A coding agent learns the client's chart of accounts and the conventions your firm already applies, proposes the treatment for each line with its reasoning attached, and holds back anything genuinely ambiguous for a person to decide.
Reads every document and extracts every line item — no manual data entry, no copy-paste errors.
Codes from the client's own history and your firm's conventions, not a generic template — and attaches the basis for each entry, so a reviewer can accept the batch in seconds.
Holds back only what it isn't confident about — e.g. a meal receipt with an unclear business purpose — queued with a specific reviewer question rather than guessed at.
Learns from every override your team makes and does not repeat the mistake on that client.

04 — Getting started
Proof in
four weeks.
We would rather prove one use case properly than describe five. Pick the process that hurts most — we will run it on your existing client data in four weeks.
Week 1 · Scope
One process, one team, one measure. Agree what “better” means — in hours, days or cost — and measure it before anything changes.
Weeks 2–3 · Shadow
The agent runs alongside your team on live work, with a person approving each action. Its output is compared honestly with what your team produced anyway.
Week 4 · Measure
Report against the baseline, agree the guardrails that stay and document what your team owns. Then decide whether the next process follows.
Three operating principles
Principle 01
Acts inside your systems
Works where the work already is — your core systems, documents, inboxes and channels. No new tool for your team to copy things into.
Principle 02
Bounded by your rules
Limits are set per process: what the agent may do on its own, what needs human approval and what it may never do. Anything outside the boundary goes to a person.
Principle 03
Reviewable and reversible
Every step is logged — what it read, what it changed, who was notified and when. Evidence you can use in audit and compliance reviews.

The short answers buyers ask us most about the Invoice Coding Agent.
What does the Invoice Coding Agent do?
Reads every document, applies your coding conventions and holds back only the lines it isn't confident about — with a specific question attached. Reads every document and extracts every line item — no manual data entry, no copy-paste errors. Codes from the client's own history and your firm's conventions, not a generic template — and attaches the basis for each entry, so a reviewer can accept the batch in seconds.
Which problems does it solve for Accounting & Audit teams?
Coding invoices is repetitive but high-stakes — a wrong account code creates downstream errors that compound across the P&L and tax return. New suppliers and ambiguous line descriptions fall into a suspense account and wait for someone to notice. The same supplier is often coded differently across months because there's no shared memory of prior decisions. Staff spend the better part of a day re-keying information that is already in a PDF sitting in the portal.
What business value can we expect?
Most lines ready to post: without human review. Every decision documented: reusable as prior-period evidence and auditable at any point. Consistent coding: the same supplier, the same treatment, every month. Plain-language questions: escalations the client can actually answer.
Does a person stay in control?
Yes. The agent works within limits you set for each process: what it may do on its own, what needs human approval and what it may never do. Every action is logged, reviewable and reversible.
How quickly can it be deployed, and where does it run?
Most teams start with a four-week pilot: scope one process in week 1, run the agent alongside your team with human approval in weeks 2–3, and measure the results against the baseline in week 4. It works across Document portal · Ledger · Practice system, and can be deployed in the cloud, hybrid or fully on-premise.
