SYSTEMS INTEGRATION & AUTOMATION

Smarter Financial Systems That Save Time and Improve Accuracy

Disconnected accounting, payroll, billing, CRM, and payment systems create duplicate work and inconsistent numbers.

Last month a SaaS founder told us they had three spreadsheets showing three different revenue numbers—QBO didn’t match Stripe, which didn’t match their bank. We fix that. We map your current tools—QuickBooks, Gusto, Bill.com, Stripe, HubSpot—to automate bank rules, receipt capture, and payroll sync. Shift your monthly close from 15 days to 5 days, saving an average of 15 hours per month. No pressure. Just practical, expert financial technology architecture.

Streamlined Systems

One QBO file that consistently matches bank and Stripe balances within a tight $200 tolerance.

Secure Workflows

Protected with 256-bit SSL, strictly enforced MFA, and structured quarterly client access reviews.

Practical Automation

80% automated bank rules, auto-attached Hubdoc receipts, and automated payroll journal entries.

Proven Scale

More than 500+ custom financial workflows mapped and 70+ Stripe integrations successfully configured.

Common Technology Problems for Growing Businesses

Every growing business faces the same technology challenges. Here’s what we see most often – and how we solve them.

1. Manual Financial Processes

PROBLEM

Transactions categorized by hand. Receipts typed in manually. Bank reconciliations done line by line. Payroll journals entered manually. Reports compiled from multiple sources. The work that should be automated is consuming your team’s time.

HOW WE HELP

We automate what should be automated. Bank rules auto-categorize 80% of transactions. Hubdoc captures receipts automatically. Gusto payroll syncs to QBO automatically. Stripe payouts reconcile automatically. We save you 15+ hours per month through systematic automation.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

15+ hours per month recovered. Manual errors eliminated. Time redirected to analysis and strategy.

2. Disconnected Software Systems

PROBLEM

QuickBooks doesn’t talk to Stripe. Stripe doesn’t reconcile with bank. Payroll system operates in isolation. CRM doesn’t integrate with accounting. Data siloed across systems. Duplicate data entry required.

HOW WE HELP

We integrate your systems so data flows automatically. Stripe gross to deferred revenue, fees to expense, net to bank. Gusto payroll to QBO: gross wages, taxes, benefits, deductions mapped to correct GL accounts. Shopify COGS tracking automated. One connected system, not five separate logins.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

Data flows automatically between systems. Duplicate entry eliminated. Reporting accurate and timely.

3. Poor Reporting Visibility

PROBLEM

Reports require manual compilation from multiple sources. KPIs tracked in spreadsheets. Dashboard data stale by the time it’s compiled. Decision-makers lack real-time visibility into financial performance.

HOW WE HELP

We configure custom dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI that pull live from QBO, Stripe, Shopify, Gusto. For SaaS: MRR movement, deferred revenue waterfall, burn, runway, LTV, CAC. For ecommerce: gross margin by product, inventory turnover, ROAS by channel. All drill-downable to transaction level.

BUSINESS OUTCOME

Real-time financial visibility. KPIs tracked automatically. Decisions made with current data.
