The business
An accounting and tax firm that keeps the books and runs payroll for hundreds of small-business clients.
The problem
- Every client's books needed its own subscription.
- Most of what the software offered went unused.
- Any switch had to keep every past balance exactly right.
The standout feature
The penny check
A bookkeeper pastes in a client's payroll register from another provider. The app rebuilds each paycheck and flags any check whose net pay is off by even a penny.
What we built
- A client file manager with one firm login across every client's books.
- Bank feeds and card imports with rules that recategorize matching lines, plus bank file import.
- Registers, check writing and reconciliation that pre-marks cleared items.
- Payroll with paycheck detail, pay stubs, tax liabilities and the quarterly payroll tax worksheet.
- After-the-fact payroll: paste a payroll register and the app flags any check whose net pay is off, even by a penny.
- Profit and loss, balance sheet, general ledger and trial balance, with drill-down to the entries.
- An import wizard that checks the trial balance matches at every date before the switch.
- Keyboard shortcuts and a layout the firm's bookkeepers already know.
