Run your own books without hiring a bookkeeper

TL;DR

If you keep your own books, untxt. does the part that makes people consider hiring out: sorting and entering the pile. Drop in your vendor invoices, receipts, and card spend, review what it pulled, and push it to QuickBooks or Xero. You stay in control without the data-entry grind.

01

The work that makes people outsource

For most owners and in-house teams, the reason to hire out is not judgment, it is volume: the stack of vendor invoices, receipts, and statements that has to be sorted and typed every month. untxt. takes that stack.

02

Drop your own pile in as it is

You add your business, open Cost and Spending, and drop the documents in as they come, photos, scans, PDFs. untxt. reads, sorts, and extracts them, and leaves out anything that is not a bookkeeping document. No setup, no naming rules, no preparing the pile first.

03

Review and post, you stay in control

You review the extracted data with the original beside it and every field editable, fix anything flagged, and push to QuickBooks or Xero. You keep the oversight you want over your own books without doing the keying by hand.

04

It fits with an accountant, it does not require one

If you hand off to an accountant at quarter or year end, untxt. gets your records sorted and exportable first, so what you send is reviewable instead of a shoebox. It works alongside an accountant, and it works without one.

05

What it does not do for you

untxt. does the sorting and the data entry. The judgment calls, which account a grey-area expense belongs to, or whether a charge is personal or business, still need you. It takes the grind, not the decisions.
