The service provides ongoing online bookkeeping for small businesses, handling routine transaction entry, categorization, and reconciliation through an intuitive web platform. Users can connect bank and credit‑card accounts, upload documents, and receive real‑time financial reports such as income statements and balance sheets.

In addition to the automated tools, the offering includes one‑on‑one support from professional bookkeepers who review the books, answer questions, and assist with tax preparation.

It combines self‑service features with dedicated expert assistance to reduce manual effort and keep financial data current.
