How It Works

Everything you need for automated bookkeeping - built into one platform.

Coding Done for You to Approve

The agent finds transactions in catch-all accounts and prepares the right account and GST code for each. You approve in bulk or one by one, and SortBooks updates Xero.

Learns From Your History

Suggestions are based on how your business has coded similar transactions before, and the agent learns from every approval.

Multi-Jurisdiction Tax Compliance

The agent suggests a tax code from the rates set up in your Xero organisation, and writes it back to Xero with every approved change. Growth and above get a quarterly GST/VAT estimate.

Activity Log

Every change SortBooks makes in Xero is recorded, so you and your accountant can see exactly what was changed and when.

Accountant Access

On Growth and above, give your accountant read-only access. Cleaner coding in Xero means less tidy-up work for them.

Works with Xero

Built on the official Xero API. SortBooks works with your existing chart of accounts and tax codes, and asks Xero only for the access it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an AI accounting agent and accounting software?

Accounting software like Xero gives you tools to do accounting manually. An AI accounting agent prepares the work for you. SortBooks connects to Xero and suggests categories and GST codes. You review and approve rather than doing the coding yourself.

Can an AI agent really replace a bookkeeper?

It can take over much of the repetitive coding work. SortBooks suggests the right account for each transaction and you approve it. Most businesses still have an accountant review their BAS and tax returns.

How does the AI agent learn my business?

When you connect Xero, the agent analyses your transaction history, chart of accounts and existing categorisation patterns. It builds a model specific to your business. Every approval and correction you make teaches it more about your business.

Is my financial data secure with an AI agent?

Yes. SortBooks connects through Xero's official OAuth sign-in, so we never see your Xero password, and your Xero tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Nothing is written to Xero until you approve it, every change is logged, and you can export your data or delete your account at any time.
