DextFree trial

AI receipt & invoice data capture

Extracts data from receipts, invoices, and bank statements with 99.9% claimed accuracy and posts it directly to QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage. Eliminates manual data entry for the routine document processing that accounting firms spend enormous time on — used by 12,000+ practices globally as a core part of their workflow.

Vic.ai

Autonomous AI accounts payable

AI-first AP automation with 97–99% invoice processing accuracy and the ability to make autonomous payment decisions — not just recommendations. 535 million invoices processed. Integrates with SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics for enterprise deployments where accuracy and audit trail matter as much as throughput speed.

Pilot

AI bookkeeping for startups

AI that categorises transactions, reconciles accounts, and closes books monthly — with human CPA review built into the model rather than as an optional add-on. The 2026 Pilot AI Accountant moves further toward fully autonomous bookkeeping, making it a genuine outsourced-accounting alternative for funded startups.

MindBridge

AI audit analytics & fraud detection

Analyses 100% of general ledger transactions to detect anomalies, potential fraud, and accounting outliers — not just a statistical sample. Built for audit firms and internal audit teams that need full-population coverage rather than the sample-based approach that misses what sits between the tested items.

AutoEntry

AI data capture for accountants

AI and OCR data capture for receipts, invoices, and bank statements, auto-posting to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and FreeAgent. A lighter-weight, more affordable alternative to Dext for smaller practices and sole practitioners who need solid data capture without an enterprise pricing model attached.
