Expense Categorization Agent

Auto-categorizes 200-400 transactions/month against your chart of accounts. Replaces a $55k Bookkeeper.

The Problem

An SMB owner pays $55k/yr to a Bookkeeper who classifies hundreds of bank/card transactions every month against a 60-line chart of accounts. The role is 90% rules-based pattern-matching with vendor history — exactly what a small LLM with retrieval over your last 12 months of categorized data nails.

The Outcome

New transaction lands → agent extracts vendor + memo + amount → looks up your last 90 days of categorizations for that vendor → assigns a category with confidence score → low-confidence (<85%) flagged for human review. Month-end: 95% auto-classified, 5% queued for spot-check, books close in 30 minutes instead of 8 hours.

Day in the Life
1.
Hourly: pulls new transactions from QBO/Xero/Plaid feed → classifies via vendor history + memo embeddings → writes draft category back
2.
Daily 5pm: emails 'today: 47 transactions categorized, 3 flagged for vendor never seen before' with one-click approve
3.
Month-end: drafts P&L variance memo — 'Office Supplies up 23% vs last month, $847 to new vendor flagged'
