Built for professional review

Your process.
Your approval points.

A dependable workflow needs more than extraction. We work through the exceptions and responsibilities that make it usable across your team.

  • Source records: agree which documents and systems the workflow can use, and the access it needs.
  • Checks: define required fields, mappings, duplicate handling, and the differences your team needs to see.
  • Approval: decide who reviews the output and which actions require their sign-off.
  • Ongoing care: agree hosting, monitoring, maintenance, and support with your team and MSP.

Before we build

Accounting automation, explained.

What is accounting workflow automation?

Accounting workflow automation connects the steps between receiving client information and preparing it for your accounting tools. It can include document collection, data extraction, field mapping, validation, and routing exceptions to a reviewer. Bumblebee builds around the recurring process your firm wants to improve.

Can Bumblebee work with QuickBooks Online?

We can scope a QuickBooks Online integration around your firm’s process. Discovery confirms the record types, access, mappings, and approval steps required for your project.

Do we need to replace our accounting software?

We start with the tools and processes you already use. Discovery confirms which systems can be connected and where a custom application is needed. Any integration limits or changes to your current setup are included in the agreed scope.

Where does AI fit, and what does our team review?

AI can help interpret documents and organize inconsistent information. Defined business rules handle checks that need consistent results. Together we decide what your team reviews, how exceptions are handled, and which actions need approval before the workflow goes live.

Can you automate tax filing or run payroll for us?

Tax and payroll projects begin with a defined preparation workflow. Filing, submission, payment, and professional advice are not assumed to be part of a build. Any actions beyond preparation require explicit scope, access, and approval responsibilities agreed with your firm.

How do we get started, and what does it cost?

Bring one recurring workflow, the tools involved, and a representative example with sensitive information removed. We work through the inputs, expected output, review points, and support needs, then agree the scope, timeline, and price before building.
