How AI accounting works
Three steps to hands-free bookkeeping
Upload or connect
Connect your bank, scan receipts or import invoices. Holded's AI reads every document automatically.
AI categorises and matches
Machine learning assigns the right account, VAT rate and analytical tags, learning from your corrections over time.
Review and approve
You stay in control. Review AI suggestions, approve in bulk and let your books close themselves.
Smart categorisation
Transactions classified instantly
Holded's AI analyses each transaction and assigns the correct account, cost centre and VAT rate. The more you use it, the smarter it gets.
Self-learning engine
The AI learns from every correction you make. After a few weeks it categorises with over 95% accuracy.
Rule-based overrides
Create custom rules for specific suppliers or transaction types. AI and rules work together, with no conflicts.
AI expense scanner
Snap a photo, get a journal entry
Take a picture of any receipt or invoice. Holded's OCR and AI extract the data, categorise the expense and create the accounting entry in seconds.
OCR data extraction
Automatically reads supplier name, date, amount, VAT and line items from any document format.
Instant journal entries
Extracted data is mapped to your chart of accounts and posted automatically. No manual typing.
AI that works while you sleep
Powerful intelligence across every corner of your accounting
Anomaly detection
AI flags unusual transactions, duplicate entries and amounts that deviate from your patterns, before they become problems.
Cash flow predictions
Machine learning analyses your historical data to forecast upcoming cash flows and flag potential shortfalls weeks in advance.
Recurring automation
AI identifies repetitive transactions and suggests automation rules so the same entries never need manual input twice.
Smart reconciliation
Bank matching powered by AI
Holded's AI matches bank transactions to invoices and expenses with intelligent suggestions that improve over time.
Confidence scoring
Each match comes with a confidence score. High-confidence matches are auto-approved; lower ones are flagged for review.
Bulk reconciliation
Approve hundreds of AI-suggested matches in one click. Reconcile a full month in minutes, not hours.
You and your accountant
Your accountant works with you, not by email
Give your accountant free access and work on the same data at the same time. The AI proposes, you upload and your accountant validates, all on one screen, as it happens.
Both of you inside, in real time
You see who is connected and what they just touched. No more "I will send you the spreadsheet" and a file that was already out of date when it left.
Comments on the entry itself
Your accountant asks on the line that does not add up and you answer right there, with the invoice in front of you. Nothing gets lost in an email chain.
Closing stops being a sprint
Every month arrives reviewed, so the quarter closes on work already done instead of on three days of rushing.
