Ledger Summit

An AI CFO office that keeps your books right, every day.

A fully autonomous AI agent runs your accounting, finance and audit: the work of a bookkeeper, controller, financial analyst and auditor. We tailor it to your business, then support and maintain it like any other system you rely on.

Open demo on a made-up company. No sign-in.

How Ledger Summit works Four sources (accounting system, bank, contracts, email and chat) connect read-only to the AI agent. You can ask it anything: for example, how much a client earned you this year, how an office did against last year, or whether you can make payroll if a client pays late. It also flags issues for approval, such as a vendor paid twice. Accounting Bank Contracts Email, chat read-only AI agent

Ask anything. It answers from your books, in seconds.

Connects to the systems you already use: through each system's official API, or regular file exports where there isn't one. We set up the connections when we customize the agent.

What it does for you

The work of a finance team, done every day instead of once a month.

Know where you stand

Books reconciled to the bank daily, so the profit and cash you see are real.

Organized, audited and automated

Vendor bills entered, customers billed and routine entries prepared for you, with every transaction audited as it's recorded.

Decide with confidence

Ask "can we afford to hire?" and get an answer from your own numbers.

Details for your CFO or controller

Books

Vendor bills captured from email and entered, customer invoices issued from contracts and schedules, transactions coded and reconciled daily, not at month-end. Does the work of a staff accountant, AP and AR.

Close

Accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, cut-off and bank reconciliations, each with the evidence attached. Does the work of a controller.

Reports

Close pack, KPI dashboard, lender package and 13-week cash forecast, with every figure linked to its source. Does the work of reporting and FP&A.

Audit

Every transaction tested as it's recorded: duplicate payments, vendor overbilling, owner charges, cut-off, loan covenant risk and payment fraud. Does the work of internal audit.

How it works

It connects, checks, reports and runs, every day.

  1. Connect

    Read-only links to your accounting system, bank, files and inboxes. Nothing to install.

  2. Check and organize

    Every transaction compared with the bank, your contracts and what your team agreed by email, then coded and filed.

  3. Report and explain

    Financial statements, analysis and what the numbers mean, plus every problem with its dollar impact, proof and fix.

  4. Runs on its own

    It posts, reconciles and reports by itself within the rules you set. Anything outside them comes to you.

Then tell it what you need

The agent runs your accounting, finance and audit work. Ask in plain English, in chat or by email, and it does the work: entries, reports, analysis and the explanation behind them.

Accounting

  • Enter this bill
  • Invoice a customer
  • Post the accruals
  • Close the month

Finance

  • P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
  • Profit by customer
  • 13-week cash forecast
  • Budget vs actual
  • What if we hire two people?

Audit

  • Test every payment
  • Check bills against contracts
  • Flag owner expenses
  • Prepare audit support

One-off questions

  • Profit by location
  • What did this client earn us?
  • Why did margins drop in March?
  • Can we make payroll if a client pays late?
Enter the Nexus bill from my inbox and pay it Friday.

Entered bill NS-2295 for $11,400 (120 hours in September).

Nexus still owes you $14,820 for a payment made twice in June. Take it off Friday's payment?

Deduct and schedulePay in full
Can we afford two more consultants?

Only if they're billable. Cash is fine, but two unbilled hires would push your loan covenant below the bank's 1.25x minimum.

The technical details

Evidence first

Raw exports and files are saved unchanged with a digital fingerprint before anything is analyzed. Every number links back to the ledger lines, documents and messages behind it.

Documents become facts

Contracts are read for prices, schedules, acceptance clauses and covenants. Email and chat are read for decisions people made but never recorded.

Math in code

Reconciliations, schedules and forecasts are calculated by code, not estimated by the AI. Specialist agents test cut-off, capitalization, duplicates and overbilling.

Balanced entries

Every entry is balanced and documented, with a plain-English summary. Entries within your rules post automatically; the rest wait for approval.

What it found in one company's books

Harborview is a made-up 14-person consulting firm with a good bookkeeper and a CPA review every quarter. Its books looked healthy. In one pass, the agents found this.

The agent earns more freedom step by step ObservePrepareAct undera limitRun withexceptions Every client starts here

You stay in control

The agent can start by only reading and reporting, then take over one function at a time as it proves accurate on your books, until it runs everything.

  • No accountant review required
  • Open to your team's review at any time
  • Your rules decide what it does on its own
  • Every number links to its proof
Controls and data protection

Read-only to start

The agents can't change your books, move money or message anyone until you allow it.

Open to review

It doesn't need an accountant to check its work, but your accountants, controller or auditors can review any entry, reconciliation or report, with the evidence behind it, at any time.

Monitored and maintained

We monitor the agent, update it and fix issues, so it keeps running like any other business system.

Evidence on every number

Each figure links to the ledger lines, documents and messages behind it.

Documents are evidence, not orders

Instructions hidden in an email or file are reported to you, never followed.

Your data stays yours

Kept separate for each client, encrypted, and never used to train shared AI models.

A complete action log

Every step the agents take and every approval is recorded and can be reviewed.

Observe. Reads everything, answers questions and flags issues. Writes nothing.

Prepare. Drafts entries, reconciliations, reports and messages into your approval queue.

Act under a limit. Posts routine entries below a dollar threshold you set, and logs them for review.

Run with exceptions. Runs the function end to end; you review exceptions and a random sample.

Audits, reviews and signed tax returns require a licensed CPA. Ledger Summit prepares audit-ready support and tax workpapers; licensed CPA partners perform attest work and sign returns.

Two ways to start

Look first, or see it run your books next to your current team. Either way, nothing changes until you decide.

Review

Read-only. About two weeks.

We connect read-only to 12 months of your history and send you a findings report like Harborview's: what's wrong, what it costs and what to fix. Nothing in your books changes.

Parallel run

A fully working version, side by side.

We set up a complete agent-run version of your accounting, finance and audit that runs alongside your current system and team, on the same transactions. You and your CFO compare both live and decide for yourselves.

Yours to run. Ours to support.

Customized

Set up for your chart of accounts, entities, systems, policies and approval rules.

Supported

Questions, new reports or a change in how you work: we handle it.

Maintained and improved

Monitored, updated and extended as your business and your systems change.

Questions owners ask

What is an AI CFO office?

It's the work of a finance team (bookkeeping, month-end close, reporting, cash forecasting and controls) done by an autonomous AI agent that works in your accounting system, bank, documents and messages. Ledger Summit customizes it for your business, supports it and maintains it.

Can we test it next to our current team first?

Yes. In a parallel run we set up a fully working agent-run version of your books alongside your current system and team, on the same transactions. You compare close speed, accuracy and issues caught, live, before deciding anything.

Does this replace my bookkeeper or accountant?

It can run the whole function on its own and doesn't need an accountant to review its work. Everything it does stays open to your team's review, and our support is available whenever you need it. Some clients keep a bookkeeper or controller to set the rules and handle exceptions; others let the agent run everything. A parallel run lets you compare it with your current team before deciding.

Will the AI post to QuickBooks on its own?

Not at first. It starts read-only, then prepares entries for your approval. You decide if and when routine entries under a dollar limit can post automatically.

Which accounting systems does it work with?

QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite and Sage, plus bank feeds, Google Drive, SharePoint, Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Can it do my audit or sign my tax return?

No. Those require a licensed CPA. The agents prepare audit-ready support and tax workpapers, and licensed CPA partners do the attest work and sign returns.

How is my financial data protected?

Access is read-only by default. Each client's data is kept separate and encrypted, it's never used to train shared AI models, and every action the agents take is logged.

Can you build AI agents for our own team instead?

Yes. Our AI agent implementation service designs, builds and rolls out finance agents inside your systems, with your approval rules, and supports them after launch.

See what it finds in your books

We connect read-only to 12 months of your history and send you a findings report like Harborview's: money owed back, numbers to fix, risks to act on now.
