Guides, tools and comparisons
We would rather publish little and good than a lot and thin. Below are the guides and articles that exist today, a free calculator and two pages describing our own approach. Everything grows with what we come across in practice.

Automating bookkeeping: a step-by-step plan for firms

Read moreWho this knowledge base is for
Everything here is written for accountancy firms and bookkeepers who already work with scan & recognise but still process many exceptions by hand. We cover both the technology and the day-to-day practice: document intake, recognition at line level, VAT splits, supplier context, checks, connections and pricing models.
Agentancy makes software in this category itself. That is why we always make clear when a piece gives general explanation and when it describes our own approach. In our view, claims about savings or recognition quality should always be tested in your own document flow.
Would you rather test your own documents straight away?
Reading is useful, but your own invoices are the real proof. 30 days or 100 documents free, no credit card needed.
We connect your first administration together in a 20-minute call. You don't have to work it out on your own.
