FROM SOURCE DOCUMENT TO REVIEWED ENTRY

Let the document start the entry.

Accounting automation turns invoices, bills and statements into structured information and proposed entries. Serpro combines a reusable document and review foundation with your chart of accounts, entity rules and posting process.

FOR Accounting practices and finance teams handling repeat documents across one or many entities.

THE WORK WE HELP CONNECT

Give accountants a prepared entry, with the source beside it.

Invoices, bills and statements arrive in different layouts. People key in the same parties, tax details and line items again and again. The opportunity is to prepare a useful first draft, then give the reviewer the source and context to make the right call.

We configure and extend software for your document requirements, review rules and existing systems. Discovery establishes which components are suitable and where customer-specific development is needed.

ACCOUNTING AUTOMATION / USE CASES

Less re-keying. More informed review.

01

High-volume supplier invoices

Prepare parties, dates, references, amounts and line items for review. Flag missing information rather than making the accountant reconstruct the document.

02

Accounting practices with multiple clients

Separate client entities, charts of accounts and access. Use each client’s history as context for suggestions, without mixing records between entities.

03

Statement and transaction review

Prepare candidate matches and group unresolved transactions for a reviewer. Keep the statement and matching rationale within reach.

04

Recurring expenses and credit notes

Apply familiar coding as a suggestion, then highlight changed amounts, unusual charges and document types that need closer attention.

ASSISTANCE WITHIN THE WORKFLOW

Prepare the entry. Preserve the judgement.

Optional AI-assisted reading, extraction or matching can prepare information within the agreed application. People retain the review decision, with source access and processing services scoped to the task.

CHECK 01

Invoice field extraction

Extracts relevant fields from agreed layouts and identifies incomplete or ambiguous information.

CHECK 02

Coding assistant

Proposes ledger classifications using the entity’s own approved history and accounting rules.

Source evidence → Human review → Agreed action
CHECK 03

Exception grouping

Groups potential duplicates, missing references and unmatched entries for an accountant to resolve.

Source evidence → Human review → Agreed action

MAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TANGIBLE

What could your team get back?

Model the manual handling time in your documents. Adjust the assumptions to your process, then use the estimate as a starting point for discovery.

Illustrative capacity estimate, not a customer result or ROI guarantee. Excludes implementation, software, infrastructure and ongoing review costs. Time released is not automatically a cash saving.

WORK WITH THE TOOLS YOU ALREADY USE

Your accounting automation. Connected.

Connect the review queue to your accounting system, ERP, shared inbox and document storage. We assess APIs, import formats and posting permissions before agreeing supported connections.

APIs & webhooksManaged file exchangeCustom adaptersMonitored handoffs

Connection methods depend on your tools, licenses and available interfaces. Names describe integration targets, not certified partnerships or pre-installed connectors.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE, AGREED WITH YOUR TEAM

Control the access.
Choose where the data lives.

Bring IT, security and compliance into the design. The implementation scope defines the controls, evidence and deployment model your organisation needs.

Identity and operational controls

Separate client entities and reviewer permissions. Restrict posting authority, preserve corrections and record who accepted each entry. Decide whether documents may leave your chosen processing environment.

Compliance requirements, mapped

Design evidence retention and access around your accounting and privacy obligations. Tax treatment remains subject to your accountant’s judgement. Statutory and jurisdiction-specific requirements are validated during discovery.

Hosted, private cloud or on-premises

Choose an agreed hosted, private-cloud or on-premises architecture. For restricted financial records, define local document storage, document-processing configuration and allowed external processing before rollout.

These are architecture and implementation options subject to software and scope validation. No certification, regulatory approval or universal deployment compatibility is claimed.

YOUR PATH TO A WORKING RELEASE

Start with representative documents.

01

Capture the document

Extract the party, date, tax details and line items from invoices, bills and statements in the formats agreed for your implementation.

02

Propose an entry

Use the client’s own accounting history to suggest ledger classification and tax treatment for review.

03

Keep the accountant in control

Place each proposed entry in a review queue. A person approves, corrects or rejects it before anything posts.

We agree a baseline workflow, assess software fit and integration constraints, then configure and validate with your users before expanding scope.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A little more clarity.

Have something more specific in mind?
Talk to our team

What does accounting document automation cover?

An agreed implementation can extract invoice, bill and statement data, suggest ledger and tax treatment, route entries for review and move approved entries into an existing accounting workflow.

Will AI post entries without an accountant?

The proposed workflow requires a person to approve, correct or reject an entry before posting. AI prepares a suggestion; the accountant keeps the decision.

Which accounting systems can you connect?

We assess your existing accounting system during discovery and agree the integration or export method in the scope. We do not assume a connection is available before that assessment.
