Do accounting, not data entry
Fintra’s GL workbench pairs AI categorization with human review, so your day shifts from keying transactions to exercising judgment on the ones that actually need it.
A working day, before and after Fintra
The classic accountant’s day is 70% mechanical: keying, coding, matching, chasing receipts. Fintra hands the mechanical layer to AI and keeps you in the approval seat.
| Time | Without Fintra | With Fintra |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Key in yesterday’s transactions and code each one from memory | Review the AI-categorized batch in the GL workbench; correct the two it got wrong |
| Midday | Chase employees for receipts and match them to card charges by hand | Expense management has matched receipts automatically; you clear the exceptions |
| Close of day | Update the close checklist spreadsheet and email the controller a status | Tick completed items on the live close checklist; status is visible without email |
The Fintra surfaces accountants live in
- GL workbench: the ledger itself, with AI-suggested categorizations queued for your review and posting.
- Review queue: transactions the AI is unsure about, sorted by confidence, so low-confidence items get your attention first.
- Close checklist: your period tasks with owners and due dates, shared live with the controller.
- AP/AR aging: who owes what and what you owe, fed directly from bill pay and invoicing.
The numbers that show your ledger is healthy
| KPI | Why it matters | Where it lives in Fintra |
|---|---|---|
| Unreconciled items | Each one is a potential misstatement waiting for period end | Reconciliation view, per account, updated as feeds sync |
| Categorization accuracy | Measures how much of the AI’s work you can trust at a glance | Review queue stats showing override rate over time |
| AP/AR aging | Late payables cost goodwill; late receivables cost cash | Aging reports fed live from bill pay and invoices |
You stay the authority; the AI stays the assistant
Nothing the AI suggests becomes part of the books without an accountant’s approval. AgentFence defines what AI workflows may touch, and SentriAI records every suggestion, override, and posting in an audit trail you can hand to a reviewer.
Your controls in practice
- Override any AI categorization; your correction becomes the precedent.
- See the AI’s reasoning and source evidence before approving a suggestion.
- Posting rights follow your role permissions, not the AI’s confidence.
- Every entry keeps a full chain from source document to approver.
Frequently asked questions
Can accountants override AI categorization?
Yes, always, and the override is the point. Every AI suggestion sits in a review state until you approve, edit, or reject it. Your corrections feed back into the model, so it converges on your firm’s coding policy rather than a generic one. Nothing posts without human approval.
Will Fintra replace accountants?
No. It replaces the keying, matching, and chasing that crowd out actual accounting. The judgment work, unusual transactions, accrual decisions, policy questions, remains yours, and the review queue routes exactly those items to you. Teams end up doing more accounting per person, not less.
How accurate is the AI categorization?
Accuracy depends on your transaction mix and improves as you correct it, so Fintra shows you the number instead of claiming one: the review queue tracks your override rate over time. High-confidence items are separated from uncertain ones, so you calibrate trust from your own data.
Does Fintra work for multi-entity or accrual books?
Fintra’s GL supports accrual accounting with AI-drafted recurring journals, deferrals, and accruals queued for your approval. The close checklist keeps period tasks visible across the team. For revenue-heavy books, the ASC 606 guide covers how recognition schedules are handled.
