Problems it helps with
- Licensing, CE tracking, sales tax and bookkeeping: Keeps the books tax-ready: categorizes and posts transactions from Square/Boulevard sales feeds, tracks product inventory (Plus) for 6% retail sales tax, and runs 'what-if' scenarios such as a price increase or a new hire. This replaces shoebox or spreadsheet bookkeeping and makes SBDC or CPA consultations easier.
- Cash flow and back-office overload: invoices, payroll, sales tax: The accounting system most small businesses already use. Payments AI sends invoice reminders, flags inconsistent payment patterns and suggests recurring payments for regular clients, which turns irregular commercial-account payments into predictable cash flow. Sales tax and payroll stay in one ledger.
- Cash flow: slow payment, collections and late invoices: Most trade shops already keep their books here. Payments AI watches invoice patterns, sends automated reminders, and suggests recurring payments to turn irregular payers into predictable cash flow; Intuit says reminders get invoices paid 4 days faster on average. AI also handles posting transactions, reports and what-if scenarios (e.g., price changes, new hires).
- Admin overload: scheduling, dispatch, paperwork and job records: Most trade shops already keep their books here. Payments AI watches invoice patterns, sends automated reminders, and suggests recurring payments to turn irregular payers into predictable cash flow; Intuit says reminders get invoices paid 4 days faster on average. AI also handles posting transactions, reports and what-if scenarios (e.g., price changes, new hires).
- Underpricing, slow estimates and lowball competition: Intuit's AI runs 'what-if' scenarios showing how a price change or a new hire would affect profit.
