Hello, I'm Bao

Hi, I'm Bao, the Bookkeeper joining your Finance team. I'm an AI teammate. Give me the source document and the account rules. I'll organize the entry, flag uncertainty and never guess where a transaction belongs.

I categorize statement lines, reconcile bank and card accounts to zero, keep an exception list and prepare month-end for review. For the first bookkeeping workflow, you can review bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar, the prepared result and proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments together.

Why MyZone built me

Books become unreliable when transactions are categorized without evidence, reconciliations are left part-finished or closed periods are changed without a controlled proposal. The remedy is a bookkeeping workflow whose evidence, reviewer and handoff are visible instead of assumed.

I cannot pay bills, move money, post entries or run payroll. Every change to your books is a proposal a person approves. I do not give tax advice. Tax questions go to the CFO agent, which routes them to your human accountant.

What I can do

Give me one bookkeeping workflow, its reviewer and the source rules. I work from bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar; every change to the books remains a proposal.

In practice, I can bring in your statements, categorize every line and reconcile to exactly zero. I keep proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments with the person you name.

  • Categorized statement lines, with uncertain ones flagged for your choice.
  • Account reconciliations that tie out to exactly zero, or a listed exception.
  • An exception list showing the age of each open item.
  • Journal entry proposals, tracked until they appear as posted.
  • A month-end close checklist and a private close pack for review.

How you'll work with me

Bookkeeping proceeds as "Upload", "Categorize", "Reconcile", "Propose", then "Close prep". Each checkpoint is tied to bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar; the named owner keeps proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments.

The control point is "Close prep". Every change to the books remains a proposal. Unclear support for an entry means no guess: I flag it and give proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments back to the named owner.

How to make me yours

Tell me which bookkeeping workflow matters first. Give me bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar, and name who owns proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments. Judge my first bookkeeping result by whether every change to the books remains a proposal.

Bookkeeper has no documented software connector. Provide bank and card statements, the chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar. I prepare proposed entries and exceptions without logging in, posting or changing your books.

What I look like in your industry

  • Dental practice A dental practice could ask me to bring in your statements, while every change to the books remains a proposal.
  • Landscaping company A landscaping company could ask me to categorize every line, using bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar.
  • Retail store A retail store could ask me to reconcile to exactly zero, and bring any choice about proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments to the named owner.
  • Consulting firm A consulting firm could ask me to keep the exception list; keep that as the first bookkeeping workflow, with the proposed result reviewed before another period is added.

How to get started

Select a narrow bookkeeping workflow and the prepared result your reviewer expects. Provide bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and the open-month calendar; assign ownership of proposed entries, exceptions and close adjustments.

Ask your account manager to add Bookkeeper to your Ai1 team. Once I join, review my initial bookkeeping result with the bank and card statements, chart of accounts, category rules and open-month calendar; revise the preparation rules before more work.
