The firm differentiator

Stand up a monthly system once. Clearsum keeps it running.

No building checklists from scratch and no babysitting templates. Clearsum learns each client, generates their monthly close, keeps it current, and works the list with you.

It learns the business

The onboarding agent gets to know each client — entities, accounts, recurring transactions, deadlines — and auto-generates a tailored monthly task list. New clients are set up in minutes.

It stays current

As a client's business changes, Clearsum adds, adjusts, and retires tasks so the system never goes stale. The maintenance that normally falls on staff happens for you.

It works the list

Tasks aren't a static to-do list. Clearsum completes routine items directly in QuickBooks and walks staff through the rest — with checklists, approval gates, evidence, and validations.

Consistent across the firm

Every client closes the same way and new hires step into a standardized system — so nothing slips through the cracks.

Generate & maintain a client's close

Interactive Demo

User says:

Set up a monthly close for my new client, Acme Co.

3:00 PM
Assistant says:

I reviewed Acme's books and built a recurring monthly close tailored to their business. Here's the task list I generated:

  1. Reconcile bank accounts — Operating & Payroll
  2. Reconcile credit cards — Amex, Visa
  3. Record & categorize receipts (uses Acme's rules)
  4. Post payroll journal entry
  5. Review A/R and A/P aging
  6. Accrue monthly revenue
  7. Final close review & lock the period

This will run every month. Want to adjust anything?

3:00 PM
User says:

Acme just started collecting sales tax.

3:02 PM
Assistant says:

Updated Acme's monthly close to keep it current. I added:

  • Reconcile sales tax payable
  • Prepare & file sales tax return (due the 20th)

These now repeat automatically alongside the existing tasks — no template maintenance needed on your end.

Clearsum monthly close task manager

Generate a repeatable monthly close for a new client in minutes — and never hand-maintain it again.

Automate the data entry

Receipts, bills, bank classification, and journal entries — handled. Clearsum reads the documents and learns each client's patterns, so the same vendor is categorized the same way every time. Approve once and it remembers.

  • Reads receipts and bills automatically
  • Per-client rules that learn over time
  • You approve before anything hits the books

It handles real accounting

Not a consumer "chat with your books" toy. Clearsum does the work professionals are responsible for — with the support to back it up.

Revenue recognition

Schedule deferrals and recognize revenue over time, posting the entries for you.

Working papers

Build working papers that post balanced journal entries with supporting detail.

Adjusting entries

Draft and post adjusting and recurring entries as part of the close.

And ask across the books anytime — instant reports, variance analysis, and answers to client questions in plain English.

How it works for your practice

1

Connect each client

Securely link each client's QuickBooks in seconds.

2

Clearsum learns & sets up

The onboarding agent learns the client and builds their monthly system.

3

It runs and maintains it

Clearsum completes routine work, keeps the system current, and flags exceptions.

4

You review & advise

Approve the work and focus on the advisory clients pay for.

"Will this replace me?"

No — it removes the data entry so you can do the advisory work clients actually pay for. Clearsum handles the routine bookkeeping; you bring the judgment, the relationships, and the sign-off.

The result is leverage: your firm can take on more clients without adding more hours.

Security & control your clients can trust

You're responsible for the books — so Clearsum is built to keep you in control.

Human-in-the-loop

Nothing posts to a client's books without your approval.

Logged & reversible

Every action Clearsum takes is recorded and can be undone.

Secure & permissioned

Official QuickBooks connection with per-client staff access.
