Workflow automation for US accounting and bookkeeping firms

Your bookkeepers spend half their week on admin that should take zero. We fix that.

Lexven builds the automations that connect your disconnected tools: QuickBooks, Xero, Karbon, Canopy, Gmail, Dext, Gusto, Slack. Your team stops chasing documents, copying data between tabs, and following up on late invoices. The work just happens.

The problem

This is your firm right now.

Every month, the same cycle. Documents do not arrive. Transactions pile up. Invoices go unpaid. None of it is the work you hired accountants to do.

3hrs
Per employee, every week, spent chasing clients for documents they already agreed to send.
Multiply by 12 bookkeepers. That is a full-time role gone to inbox tennis.
$76K/yr
Lost per firm to unbilled scope creep. Work you did but never invoiced.
90% of US firms report it. Nobody catches it in the moment.
71%
Of firms have at least one in four invoices paid late. And spend 3 to 10 hours per month chasing.
The work is done. The cash is sitting on someone else's desk.

What changes

Here is what changes.

Three workflows, wired into the tools you already use. They run in the background, seven days a week, and surface only the handful of things that actually need a human.

Document collection

Automated document collection.

On your month-end cutoff, every client gets a personalized request with a direct upload link. Non-responders get escalating follow-ups until the file arrives. If a client genuinely is not responding, your bookkeeper gets a Slack notification to step in manually. No more chasing.

Categorization

AI transaction categorization.

Uncategorized transactions get pulled from QuickBooks Online or Xero, run through AI trained on the client's own chart of accounts and historical patterns, and written back automatically. Your bookkeepers review the 15 flagged exceptions instead of manually categorizing 200 line items.

AR follow-up

Invoice and payment chasing.

Invoices go out the moment work closes. A friendly reminder sends at day 7, a firmer one at day 14, and an owner alert at day 21. Everything is logged to a live dashboard so you can see your full AR picture without opening three separate tabs.

How it works

Two weeks in, running quietly.

No platform to learn. No tools to rip out. We build on top of what you already pay for, and hand you something that runs without you thinking about it.

01

We audit your tools and processes.

A short async walkthrough of how your month actually runs. Who does what, where the bottlenecks live, which tools are already in place. We do this over Loom and email, not live calls.

~1 week
02

We build and deploy in two weeks.

We design, build, test, and launch the automations inside your existing stack. No migrations, no new logins for your team, no training sessions required. You get a Loom walkthrough of everything we built and full documentation.

2 weeks, async-first
03

We monitor and expand over time.

We keep the workflows running, watch for edge cases, and layer on new automations as the firm grows. Every month you see what is running, what it caught, and what it saved.

Ongoing monthly
Boundaries

What we do not do.

Just as important as what we build. We would rather tell you upfront than find out in month two.

We do not touch tax software.

Lacerte, UltraTax, CCH Axcess, Drake, ProSeries. These are desktop-based with no real API. If your main pain point is tax workflow, we are not the right fit for that specific problem.

We do not replace your tools.

You keep QuickBooks, Xero, Karbon, whatever you already use. We are the wiring between them, not another platform to migrate to or another login to remember.

We do not give accounting advice.

We automate processes, not judgment. Your accountants keep full control over every financial decision. We just make the repetitive admin work disappear so they can focus on what they were actually hired to do.
