How It Works

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

Ask Anything About Your Finances

Type a question in plain English and get an answer built from your Xero data. 'Am I profitable this month?' 'Who owes me money?' 'What bills are due?' Every dollar figure is checked against Xero.

Cash Flow Forecasting

On Scale and above, get a 3-month cash forecast built from your last 3 months of Xero P&L and today's bank balance.

Expense Intelligence

Ask how your spending is trending month to month and where your money goes, without reading spreadsheets.

Profitability Analysis

Check your profit by month and compare periods, using the P&L in your Xero account.

Weekly CFO Brief

A short email each week with how your business is tracking, so you stay across your numbers without logging in.

Who Owes You

See which customers owe you money and which bills are coming up, straight from your Xero invoices and bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I ask the AI CFO?

Anything about your finances. Common questions include: 'What's my cash flow situation?', 'Which expenses increased the most?', 'Am I profitable this month?', 'Who owes me money?'. The AI CFO uses your live Xero data and checks every dollar figure against it. Growth includes 5 questions a day and Scale up to 300 a month.

How is this different from Xero's built-in reports?

Xero gives you reports - SortBooks gives you insights. Instead of reading a P&L statement and interpreting it yourself, you ask a question in plain English and get a clear answer with recommendations. It's the difference between data and intelligence.

Is my financial data safe when using the AI CFO?

Yes. Your Xero connection is made through Xero's official OAuth sign-in and your tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. To answer a question, the relevant figures are sent to OpenAI for processing, as set out in our privacy policy. The AI CFO only reads your data and never changes anything in Xero.

Does the AI CFO replace a real CFO?

No. It gives you quick answers about your numbers at a fraction of the cost of a CFO. For big decisions, fundraising or audit preparation, you'll still want a human adviser.
