Questions people ask before using this workflow
Should I leave QuickBooks?
Not automatically. If QuickBooks is working for your accountant, BookClose AI may be more useful as a cleanup and review workflow around the books.
Does BookClose AI replace my accountant?
No. BookClose AI is designed to keep bookkeeping cleaner, surface focused follow-up questions, and prepare explainable reports. Tax, legal, audit, and complex accounting judgments still need a qualified human reviewer.
Do you move money from my bank account?
No. Bank connections are read-only through Stripe Financial Connections. BookClose AI receives transaction and balance data needed for bookkeeping workflows, but it cannot transfer or withdraw funds.
