What would you like to get done today?

Describe the task in your own words. Your assistant uses the accounts, customers and vendors already in your books to prepare the work or answer your question.

BILLS AND RECEIPTS

Get the entries ready without typing each one.

“Prepare these supplier bills. Show me anything that might already be entered.”

Your AI prepares the entries for review. You check the coding and amounts, with possible duplicates and missing information called out.

BANK AND CARD TRANSACTIONS

Review a month of charges together.

“Code this card statement using our usual accounts. Leave the charges with missing receipts for me.”

Saved rules handle familiar vendors. You can approve the ready entries and leave the rest until you have what you need.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUSINESS

Find out what is behind the number.

“Why did repairs cost more this month? Show me the bills.”

Ask follow-up questions and check the transactions behind the answer. Owners can understand the books without taking over the bookkeeping.

A card statement, ready for your review.

In this example using Intuit’s sample company, Claude prepared eight Mastercard charges. The reviewer approved seven and held a restaurant charge while waiting for its receipt. The ready work could be finished without guessing about the missing receipt.

Less to explain next month

Keep the coding and client notes you have already worked out.

Save recurring instructions with the company they belong to. Your assistant can use them the next time you work on those books, even in a new conversation.

REPEAT VENDORS

Stop coding the same charges from scratch.

Confirm a rule such as “Lucchini Fuel goes to Gas & Oil.” Zeno uses it to code future matching transactions for review.

CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the details that are easy to forget.

Save how a client splits an expense or the steps in their monthly close. Those instructions are available when your assistant prepares the next task.

WORK HISTORY

Pick up where the last person left off.

See what was requested, what was approved and what posted. The next bookkeeper can find the reason for a decision without searching an old chat.

You decide what goes into the books

Review the entries before they post.

See the proposed accounts, amounts and supporting documents in Zeno. Leave out anything you are unsure about and approve the entries you are ready to post.

Afterward, you can see what QuickBooks recorded and who approved it. Zeno also offers reversal for supported entries; what can be undone depends on the transaction and the current books.

  1. 01
    Choose the company

    Zeno checks that QuickBooks has the company file you selected open before preparing the work.

  2. 02
    Check the proposed entries

    Review the coding, amounts, possible duplicates and missing information together.

  3. 03
    Approve what is ready

    Your approval covers the entries you reviewed. Relevant changes in QuickBooks can require another review before posting.

  4. 04
    See what posted and what still needs you

    Check the result of each entry, including anything that could not be posted, and return to the unfinished work.
