The documents in this sample case.

Give these documents to your AI and say “run my books.”
$2,590.32 engine overhaul (parts + labor, TPT)
$4,281.50 monthly parts account
$907.08 A/C repair + oil change
$595.98 front brake job
$148.22 counter parts (Visa)
$139.20 shop supplies — posts to May cycle
$260.00 license — stale January bill
Business Visa — April

The parts that eat your evening.

  • Arizona TPT applies to parts (8.3% combined in Mesa) while separately stated repair labor is not taxed, so every invoice has to keep taxable parts and non-taxable labor on separate lines
  • Weekly batch deposits roll up many jobs at once — a single $2,590.32 engine overhaul just gets absorbed into the week's lump deposit
  • Parts go out two ways — a monthly account with Mesa Auto Parts and one-off counter buys on the Visa — and both have to be reconciled
What FinStat caught in this case

It ties the $4,281.50 Mesa Auto Parts bill to its ACH and the $148.22 Ratchet Parts receipt to the Visa, then flags a $260 City of Mesa license bill from January with no matching payment and a $139.20 charge whose May statement is missing.

Reconciled to the bank. Then ask your AI anything about your books.

Figures from the Torquewell Auto Works LLC sample case — a fictional business — each transaction tied to its source document, balanced and review-ready.

Once connected, two steps.

  1. Give your AI the documents.

    Give your AI your statements, payouts, receipts, and bills — attach them, then say: run my books. Your statements are processed only for the work you ask for and never sold; they go to the AI sub-processors on our subprocessor list to be read.

  2. Ask for any report.

    “Give me a P&L.” “Reconcile May.” “Show the uncategorized transactions.” Review-ready accounting output, in chat. Each entry traces to its source line, so you can question any number in the chat.
