AI bookkeeping for accountants & bookkeepers
Cut bookkeeping hours to minutes.
Parsli learns each client's books.
An AI bookkeeper that already knows each client's vendors, chart of accounts and tax codes. Send it bills, receipts and bank statements — it extracts every line, codes it the way that client's ledger expects, and posts it with the source attached.

Bookkeeping shouldn't run your practice
You're paid to advise clients, not to key in their data. But chances are your day still looks like this:
Manual entry is eating your hours
A client sends a bill. You type the supplier, the date, then every line item, one by one. Repeat fifty times a day — and the advisory work still isn't done.
Legacy OCR that makes more work
Hours mapping charts of accounts. If-then rules per client. And after all that? Still fixing errors and typing the line items it missed.
Real-world documents are chaos
Handwritten receipts. Phone photos. Foreign-currency invoices. Fifteen bank-statement layouts. The tools built for clean PDFs reject them.
Bank feeds don't reach every ledger
No feed means every statement is a PDF, re-keyed line by line. A new format from every bank, every month.
What used to take hours takes minutes
Forward the messy documents other tools reject. Parsli extracts every line item, codes it, and queues it to post — photos and handwriting included.

You key in every line and chase what's missing.

Line items (4)
Line Item Extraction
Upload any invoice or receipt. Parsli extracts every line — description, quantity, unit price, amount and tax — and checks the lines add up to the total before anything posts.
Bank statement · 214 transactions
Bank Statement Extraction
Upload any PDF bank statement, from any bank. Every transaction comes out — date, description, amount, balance — as a ledger-ready CSV in the convention QuickBooks and Xero imports accept.

Exclusive of taxCodes from the Client's Ledger
Accounts, vendors and tax codes are pulled from the client's own QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books. Every line is coded against their real chart of accounts, not a generic list.

Learns Confirmed Coding
Confirm a vendor's category once and Parsli suggests it on their next bill. It only learns from what a person confirmed, so a wrong guess never sticks. Add a supplier rule and recurring vendors auto-post — only when every field clears the confidence floor.

Vendor Matching
The supplier on the document is matched to the client's vendor list before anything posts. Auto-create genuinely new vendors, or hold them for a person to confirm.

Manual entry vs. legacy OCR vs. Parsli
Three workflows, three very different outcomes. Compare them at a glance.
| Feature | Manual entry | Legacy OCR | Parsli |
|---|---|---|---|
| Line-item extraction | You type every line | Header + total only | Every line, every document — reconciled to the total |
| Setup time | None (you're typing) | Hours of rules and templates per client | Minutes — add a client, one sign-in |
| Bank statements | 200 lines × manual | Limited, extra cost | Any bank, any length → ledger-ready CSV |
| Handwriting & photos | Squint and guess | Returns garbage | Escalated to a stronger read; flagged if still unsure |
| Coding | By hand, per line | A vendor-level default | Per line, from the client's own ledger; confirmed coding remembered |
| Staff turnover | Knowledge walks out | Rules live in heads | Confirmed coding and supplier rules stay with the client |
| Accounting software | Type into anything | One or two ledgers | QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books direct — CSV for the rest |
| Pricing model | Staff salary | Per user, per client | By pages processed — never per client |
Handle more clients without adding headcount
Take data entry out of the practice and capacity comes back. Here's what changes:
Take on clients you used to turn away
Handwritten receipts, phone photos, foreign-currency bills and twenty-page statements stop being a reason to say no.
Month-end closes faster
No preprocessing, no waiting on data entry. Documents land in the client's ledger coded and ready for review.
Junior staff do senior work
With extraction and coding automated, juniors stop typing PDFs and start reviewing, validating and catching exceptions.
Onboard new clients in minutes, not weeks
Add the name, connect their ledger, send them the forwarding address. No templates, no rule-writing, no training.
Your client data, secured
Client documents are encrypted, isolated per account, connected over official OAuth, and never used to train models.
Isolated per account
Row-level security keeps every firm's documents, clients and ledger connections separated at the database layer.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Files and extracted data are encrypted on the wire and in storage.
OAuth only, never a password
Ledger connections use each provider's official OAuth. Parsli never sees or stores a QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books password.
Never used for training
Your clients' documents are used to extract your clients' data. They are not used to train models.
FAQ
Still have questions?
How do clients get documents to me?
Every parser has its own forwarding address at in.parsli.co, created the moment you add the client — one for bills, one for receipts and expenses, one for sales invoices. Clients forward emails, suppliers send invoices directly, your team drags and drops, a Gmail inbox can be polled automatically, and the REST API covers anything else.
Can each client connect their own QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books?
Yes — that's the point. Each client's parsers carry their own ledger connection over the provider's official OAuth, and posting codes lines against that client's own chart of accounts, vendor list, and tax codes. One practice posts into twenty different files without switching accounts.
What gets extracted from a bill or receipt?
Vendor, invoice number, dates, currency, subtotal, tax, and total — plus every line item with description, quantity, unit price, amount, and tax. Line amounts are reconciled against the document's totals, so a misread digit is caught rather than posted.
How does Parsli decide the account for each line?
Accounts come from the client's own ledger. Each line gets a picker with that chart of accounts, a parser-level default applies when you set one, and the vendor's last human-confirmed category is suggested on their next bill. Suggestions only learn from confirmed values, so a wrong guess never reinforces itself.
How are bank statements handled?
Upload or forward a PDF statement and Parsli extracts it transaction by transaction — date, description, amount, balance — then exports a ledger-ready CSV with signed amounts in the convention QuickBooks and Xero bank imports accept. Reconciliation stays in your ledger, where it belongs.
What happens when the engine isn't sure?
Every field carries a confidence score. Anything below the floor is flagged in the review view with the reason — a low-confidence total, a date that isn't on the document, a possible duplicate — and the document waits for a person instead of posting. Clean documents go straight through.
Does it handle photos and handwritten receipts?
Phone photos, scans, and handwritten receipts are read by the same engine. When the first pass isn't confident on a hard image it escalates to a stronger read automatically, and anything still uncertain is flagged for review rather than guessed.
What does it cost for a practice?
Plans are priced by pages processed, never by client count — every client you add gets its own parsers on any plan. You get 20 free pages on signup to test the loop on a real client, then monthly plans start at $25. No annual lock-in.
Can I migrate from Dext, Hubdoc, or AutoEntry?
Yes — and we'll help. Export your client list and supplier rules from your current tool and we'll set up your workspace with them as part of onboarding. Paid plans include hands-on migration support, and if you need an integration we don't have yet, we build it for you.
Is there an API?
Yes. The same engine is available over a REST API and webhooks — send a document, receive structured JSON — and extracted data can also flow to Google Sheets, Excel/CSV, or Zapier, Make, and Power Automate via webhooks.
