Bookkeeping Practice Ops Official

Financev1.0.013 components

Run a tighter monthly close across every client with less manual grind. Bailey, your AI bookkeeping assistant, suggests a category from your chart of accounts for each new transaction and flags anything unclear for a client question, sets up the standard close checklist per client and period, drafts batched client questions, prepares reconciliation review notes, and gives you a daily read on where every client's close stands. Everything is suggest-and-approve: nothing posts to the ledger, no reconciliation is marked complete, and no client message is sent automatically. Four tables hold your clients, the monthly close checklist, uncategorized transactions, and close metrics. A knowledge base holds your close process, chart of accounts, and categorization rules, which every suggestion follows. Automations included: new transactions are categorized on arrival, plus an optional monthly close setup on the first of the month. Works out of the box with the data you import; connect a bank feed or accounting tool later to sync transactions, and Gmail to send client questions from the platform. Best first step: replace the placeholder chart of accounts and close process with your own and add a client.

The employee routes each request to the right worker. Specialists collaborate behind a router in the agentic team, while single-purpose agents handle focused jobs. Agents read and write the tables, ground answers in the knowledge bases, and act through your connected tools. Every write is gated and traced.

The full blueprint

Every agent's tasks, every table's schema, every trigger. Read it all before you sign in.

Bailey

Precise, organized, and calm, like a senior bookkeeper who keeps every client's close on track and never cuts a compliance corner. Grounds everything in the chart of accounts and flags what needs a human.

Close Review Team routing

Internal, staff-facing team for the Bookkeeping Practice Ops pack. When a bookkeeper needs a second opinion during close, a routing manager sends the question to a Categorization Specialist, a Reconciliation Specialist, or a Financials and Close Specialist, each grounded in the practice's close process and chart of accounts, to recommend how to proceed. Advisory only: it never posts to the ledger or marks anything Done.

Categorization SpecialistFinancials and Close SpecialistReconciliation Specialist
Client Bookkeeping Desk routing

Customer-facing desk for the Bookkeeping Practice Ops pack. A routing manager helps a client answer a categorization question, understand where their close stands, or ask a general bookkeeping question. It answers only from the practice's process and chart of accounts, never gives tax or financial advice, never confirms a number is final, and hands anything needing a bookkeeper's judgment to a human.

Close Status SpecialistGeneral Bookkeeping SpecialistTransaction Question Specialist
Transaction Categorizer
Bookkeeping automation that suggests transaction categories from the chart of accounts.
2 tasks · 3 in

Reads uncategorized transactions and suggests an account with a confidence level, flagging low-confidence items for a client query. Suggestions only.

Uncategorized Transactions
  1. 01Select transactions to categorize from the Uncategorized Transactions table. If {{transactionId}} is provided, work only that row. Otherwise take rows with Status New, filtered to {{client}} if given, up to {{maxToProcess}} (default 20). For each, read the description, amount, and date, and look up the client's basis and rules.Output: The transactions selected with their key details, ready to categorize.
  2. 02For each transaction, suggest the closest account from the chart of accounts using the categorization rules. Set Suggested Category and a Confidence of High, Medium, or Low. If confidence is Low or the item could be personal or unusual, set Status to Client Query and write a short, specific Client Question; otherwise set Status to Suggested. Never post to the ledger and never fabricate an account that is not in the chart of accounts.Output: Confirmation of the rows updated, then a short readable summary using headings and bullet points: how many suggested at each confidence level and how many flagged for a client query.

  2. 02For each client, create the standard close tasks as rows in the Monthly Close Tasks table for the period, each with Task, Status Not Started, a sensible Due Date, and Owner blank for assignment. Skip tasks already present for that client and period so you do not duplicate. Do not mark anything done and do not post to the ledger.Output: Confirmation of the tasks created per client, then a short readable summary using headings and bullet points: clients set up and tasks created for the period. Never output JSON or raw data.

  2. 02For each client, draft one brief, friendly message per the query etiquette that lists each transaction with its date, amount, and vendor and asks the specific question, offering the most likely category as a yes or no. Save the drafted question back to each transaction's Client Question field. Do not send anything.Output: Confirmation of the rows updated, then a short readable summary using headings and bullet points: clients with pending questions and how many items each.

If something needs correction, set Status to Blocked with a clear reason for a human; otherwise leave it Ready for Review for a human to sign off.

How the install works

  1. Overview. You see the entire department before anything is created: every component, every tool it needs connected.
  2. Setup questions. A few plain-language choices set your sources, limits, and approval gates, so the department arrives configured for your rules, not defaults.
  3. Conflicts. Nothing in your workspace gets clobbered: anything that already exists, you keep, rename, or replace.
  4. Install. Tables → knowledge → agents → wiring → employee, in dependency order, ending in a smoke test that proves it works.
  5. Done. A working department, not a project plan. Open your new coworker and assign the first task.

Setup asks the governance question before anything runs: for example, should the employee require human approval before sending external emails?

Built on

Governance defaults

  • Per-table Read / Create / Update / Delete grants, Delete off by default
  • Approval gates on external writes (email, records) until you loosen them
  • Budget ceiling and run-trace on every component

Recruiting and Staffing Ops
Recruiting~20 min
Move candidates faster without cutting corners on fair hiring. Riley, your AI recruiting coordinator, screens each new candidate against the job's must-haves with must-have-by-must-have reasoning, coordinates interview scheduling by drafting availability requests, drafts honest candidate outreach and status updates, builds submittal packages for hiring managers or clients mapping experience to requirements, and gives the team a daily pipeline read. Screening never considers anything beyond skills and qualifications, and it never rejects a candidate or extends an offer; those stay human decisions. Everything else is draft-and-approve: candidate messages are prepared for a human to send, and interview times are proposed, never confirmed, by the agent. Four tables hold your job orders, candidates, interview scheduling, and pipeline metrics. A knowledge base holds your screening standards, submittal format, communication voice, and compliance guardrails, which every assessment and message follows. Automations included: new candidates are screened on arrival, plus an optional daily pipeline digest. Works out of the box with the roles and candidates you add; connect an ATS or job board later to sync candidates, and Gmail and Calendar to send outreach and confirm interviews from the platform. Best first step: replace the placeholder screening standards and compliance rules with your own and add an open job.
