Your data

How your books are handled.

You are handing strangers access to your finances. That deserves specifics rather than a promise, so here is exactly what happens, and what we do not claim.

What we commit to

Twelve plain commitments. No fine print.

The same rules for everyone who touches your books, including the people who check the work.

01

Your data never trains anything

It is never used to train any AI model, ours or anyone else's, and never combined with another client's.

02

Encrypted, moving and sitting still

Your data is encrypted with AES-256 when it is stored and TLS 1.3 when it moves.

03

Never on a personal laptop

Your data is never kept on personal devices or on machines we do not manage.

04

We never ask for your password

You create a user for us in your own QuickBooks or Xero. We sign in as that user, never as you.

05

A second code, every sign-in

Everyone signs in with a code on top of a password. No shared logins, no exceptions.

06

Every person and agent has its own login

Each person and each agent signs in separately, so you can see who did what.

07

Only the access the work needs

Everyone gets only the access their work needs. A login is removed when someone leaves or the work ends.

08

Your books stay in your software

We never move them somewhere you cannot reach them. You can look at them whenever you like.

09

One click switches us off

The user is yours. Turn it off whenever you like, and the access ends.

10

Money waits for a person

Anything that moves money waits for a person to approve it. Agents never send it on their own.

11

Signed before anything starts

A confidentiality agreement and a data processing agreement are signed before any access is given.

12

Agents run on AWS

The agents run on Amazon Web Services, which holds SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS certifications. Those are AWS's, not ours.

Access, step by step

One login, from the first day to the last.

The real worry is a stranger inside your books. Here is how much they can do at each step, and who decides.

What the login can do Can do Waits for a person Cannot
  1. Before day 1No access yet

    Paper first.

    A confidentiality agreement is signed before any access is given. Every login is set up with a second code on top of the password.

    Who decidesYou. Nothing opens until you sign.

  2. Week 1Least access

    Start small.

    You create a user for us in your own QuickBooks or Xero. We start with the least access the work needs, read the last few months of closes and write down how your books actually run.

    Who decidesYou create the user and decide when to give it more.

  3. Week 2When you say so

    Work, with your process as the check.

    When you are ready, you give the user more access. The agents take the routine tasks first, and your current process runs side by side, so a mistake shows up in days, not at month-end.

    Who decidesYou decide when to give more.

  4. Week 3 onwardFull production

    Money still waits.

    Your person and the agents run the close, and your person checks it before you see it. Anything that moves money waits for a person to approve it. Every month you see who did what.

    Who decidesA person approves anything that moves money.

  5. The day someone leavesAccess ends

    The login goes with them.

    Their login is removed when they leave. The agents keep the routine running, and a replacement picks it up from our network. You can also switch off our user yourself, in one click, at any time.

    Who decidesYou, any time. We remove it the day they leave.

Who is on your books

Every person has their own login. You can switch it off.

Your person and the people who check their work each sign in with a second code on top of a password, work only inside your own software, and your data is encrypted when it moves and when it is stored.

They work through a user you create, so you see who did what and can switch anyone off in one click.

What we do not claim

No badge until we hold one.

Certification

We do not have a security certification yet.

We will not show a badge or a logo until we do. Ask on the call and we will walk through exactly how access is set up for your books.

Storage and deletion

How the agents' working copy is kept.

Your books stay in your own software. The agents' working data is encrypted at rest and never combined with another client's.

Data questions

Who can see our books?

Only people signed in through the user you create, each with a second code on top of a password. There are no shared logins, including for the people who check the work. You set what that user can touch.

Who will work on our books?

The person you pick, plus the people who check their work. A confidentiality agreement is signed before any access is given, and they work only inside your own software.

Can we limit what the agents can touch?

Yes. The access is the user you create, with the permissions you set. Anything that moves money waits for a person to approve it.

Do the agents train on our books?

No. Your data is never used to train anything and never combined with another client's.

How do we switch you off?

Turn off the user you created for us, in your own software. It takes one click and you can do it whenever you like.

What happens to our data if we leave?

Nothing moves, because nothing ever left. Your books live in your own software the whole time. You switch off our user and the handover is done.

Do you have a security certification?

Not yet, and we will not show a badge until we do. Ask on the call and we will walk through exactly how access is set up for your books.
