This is Business Finance Assistant. What’s great is you can view everything in one place, including a view of your Lloyds Bank account and accounts with other banks.
Business Finance Assistant gives you total visibility into your business including incomings, outgoings and it even has a view to see if any profit has been made for the month, so you know precisely how your business is performing, what works and what needs some attention.
The recent activity summary provides an overview of all recent transactions that are automatically categorised. Business Finance Assistant removes the need to record expenses by hand and manual spreadsheets. Simply upload a PDF or photo which will be automatically recognised and saved.
It’s so simple to create invoices and quotes too. Invoices are fully customisable with helpful automated notifications when client invoices are overdue. Once paid, Business Finance Assistant will automatically reconcile the invoice and its payment saving you time to focus on what really matters.
The Cash flow forecast tool enables you to make decisions faster, allowing more time to devote to developing your business. Business Finance assistant allows you to anticipate the upcoming weeks - by using past transactions and upcoming suppliers and customer due dates thanks to its powerful Artificial Intelligence Engine and machine learning technology. What’s more, is the forecast is fully adjustable so you can make it more and more accurate and always know where you are going.
When it’s time to file your VAT return, most of the hard work is already done for you. The Business Finance Assistant calculates VAT owed and connects straight to HMRC which is Making Tax Digital compliant.
Another great feature is the ability to share access with others, including your accountant and what’s great is you control the access permissions!
