Durable workflow infrastructure

Every run stays recoverable.

Each run persists its input, step state, attempts, and outcome before work is acknowledged. When a provider rejects a write, operators see why, fix it, and resume from the last completed step.

  • Replay without repeating

    Fix the underlying issue and replay from the failed step. Completed steps are never re-run.

  • Every attempt on record

    Attempts, timestamps, terminal reasons, and provider responses stay attached to the run.

  • Writes accepted once

    Idempotency keys and validation keep retried writes from creating duplicate ledger entries.

Unified accounting API

One API. Every ledger you or your customers run.

Read and write normalized contacts, invoices, bills, payments, and purchase orders against one contract. The connection decides the provider. Your code does not change.

Accounting operations

From daily work to clean books.

Sales, expenses, and payouts become durable workflows that finish in whichever accounting system your customer already runs. Each one starts from an event and ends in a confirmed ledger state.

01

Sales to invoices

Turn orders, subscriptions, or usage events into validated customer invoices in the ledger.

  1. TriggerOrder confirmed
  2. Step 1Resolve contact and tax rates
  3. Step 2Create the invoice
  4. Step 3Post to the ledger
  5. OutcomeInvoice confirmed in the books
02

Expenses to bills

Move approved spend into payable bills with the correct account, tax treatment, and attachment.

  1. TriggerExpense approved
  2. Step 1Normalize supplier and lines
  3. Step 2Attach the source document
  4. Step 3Create the bill
  5. OutcomeBill awaiting payment
03

Payouts to reconciliation

Match processor payouts and fees to open entries, then close the loop with a reconciliation state.

  1. TriggerPayout received
  2. Step 1Match to open invoices
  3. Step 2Post fees and adjustments
  4. Step 3Reconcile the bank line
  5. OutcomePayout reconciled

FAQ

Common questions.

What is AccountingKit?

AccountingKit is an accounting workflow automation platform. It connects your accounting system, normalizes financial data, and runs durable, auditable workflows for operational accounting tasks. Its unified API can also be embedded in software products.

Which accounting platforms can I connect?

Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, FreshBooks, and Wave are available today, each with hosted OAuth, normalized resources, and verified webhooks where the provider supports them. Every provider answers the same accounting contract, and provider-native actions stay available where a provider does something the portable model cannot express.

Which accounting records can I manage?

You can work with normalized contacts, invoices, quotes, payments, purchase orders, accounts, tax rates, and branding themes. AccountingKit also exposes invoice PDFs, online URLs, and provider deep links.

What happens when a workflow step fails?

The run keeps its step state, attempts, and terminal error. You can inspect the failure, correct the underlying issue, and resume from the persisted step instead of rebuilding the run from scratch.

Is AccountingKit only for software companies?

No. The primary use case is connecting your own accounting system and automating your finance operations. Software teams can also use the unified API to embed the same capabilities for their customers.

Can I use the unified API without a workflow?

Yes. You can connect an accounting organization and read or write normalized resources directly. Workflows add durable orchestration when a business process spans multiple steps.

Why use AccountingKit instead of calling each provider directly?

AccountingKit combines hosted OAuth, one normalized model across every provider, idempotent writes, retries, replay, signed webhooks, and audit history. Your team can build the accounting experience instead of rebuilding integration reliability around each workflow.

How does AccountingKit protect accounting data?

Provider credentials and raw provider payloads are encrypted at rest. API keys are environment-scoped, tenant ownership is enforced in the data layer, and customer webhooks are signed.
