The For Review tab
Intuit lets no outside app read the bank feed waiting inside QuickBooks Online. Zeno brings bank activity in itself, through a bank connection or a statement file.
Limits
What Zeno will not do, even when asked.
Deciding whether to let an AI work on a client’s books is mostly a question about what cannot happen. These are the things Zeno refuses. They are built into the tools, so they hold whichever assistant is connected and however the request is worded.
Refused by design
The lines the AI cannot cross.
- 01Post without a person’s click
Every new entry becomes a plan. Only someone at the firm approves it, on the plan’s page in the console or drawn in the chat. A “go ahead” typed into the conversation is not an approval, and the AI has no tool that records one.
- 02Post a plan that changed after you approved it
An approval covers the exact plan you read. If anything in it changes, or the books moved underneath it, Zeno refuses to apply it until a person looks again.
- 03Let the AI reach QuickBooks
Your assistant connects to Zeno and nothing else. Zeno holds the QuickBooks connection, and Intuit’s credentials are never handed to the AI.
- 04Change a name on the side
Vendors, customers, accounts, items, classes and the other lists change only through a plan. There is no tool for an AI to rename a vendor or retire a customer directly, because one name change touches every document that uses it.
- 05Turn its own guesses into rules
A coding rule or a fact about a client that the AI works out is saved as a draft. It does nothing until a person confirms it.
- 06Quote a balance from an old copy
Balances, agings and what is open or unpaid are true only at the moment they are read, so Zeno reads them from QuickBooks live, as the client would see them.
- 07Take instructions from a document
A bill that asks for new bank details, a payment or an email to someone is shown to you as what it is: something the document says. The AI is told not to act on it.
- 08Move money
Zeno never pays a bill, sends a payment or sets up a transaction that posts by itself.
- 09Hold tax ids or Social Security numbers
Zeno’s tools refuse them before anything is planned or stored. Enter them in QuickBooks directly.
- 10Train a model on your clients
Zeno runs no AI model over your documents and trains none. Your own assistant is the only model that reads them.
Only when you ask
A few changes skip the plan, never the record.
Some work is one specific thing you ask for, and a plan around it would only slow you down. These happen only on your request. The ones that remove or send something ask you to confirm first, and every one is written into the work history with who asked.
- Void, delete or correct one transaction
- Attach a document to a transaction
- Send an invoice
- Set up a recurring reminder
- Change company settings such as currencies, tax codes and company details
Outside any app’s reach
What QuickBooks Online keeps to itself.
Some limits are Intuit’s, and no connected app gets past them. Worth knowing before a demo promises otherwise.
Marking a reconciliation
An outside app cannot mark QuickBooks Online transactions as cleared. Zeno can show you what is missing or doubled against the statement; the reconciliation is finished in QuickBooks.
The closing date
When you tell Zeno a period is done, it records that in Zeno. It does not set the books’ closing date in QuickBooks; set that there when you are ready.
