Month-End Close Is Manual Chaos

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Finlens replace QuickBooks?
No. Finlens is designed to work on top of QuickBooks, not replace it. Your team keeps using QuickBooks as the general ledger. Finlens adds an AI automation layer that handles transaction categorization, GAAP schedules, and month-end close workflows, then syncs everything back to QuickBooks in real time. There is no migration, no parallel ledger, and no disruption to your existing setup.
How does the QuickBooks sync actually work?
Finlens connects to your clients' QuickBooks accounts and pulls transaction data in real time. It applies accounting logic to categorize transactions, generate journal entries, and schedule accruals, then posts the results directly back to QuickBooks. The sync is bidirectional, meaning changes made in QuickBooks are also reflected in Finlens automatically.
How long does it take to onboard a new client?
Finlens automates chart of accounts setup and historical transaction categorization, which are typically the most time-consuming parts of client onboarding. Firms that previously spent 10 to 15 hours per new client on setup report that automated onboarding through Finlens collapses that process significantly, saving 3 or more hours per client.
Will my team still have control over what posts to QuickBooks?
Yes. Finlens uses a human-in-the-loop review model. AI suggestions are surfaced for accountant review before anything is posted to QuickBooks. Your team can approve, correct, or override any categorization with one click. Nothing touches the GL without explicit sign-off from someone on your team.
How does Finlens handle GAAP schedules and accruals?
Finlens automatically generates accrual, prepaid, deferred revenue, and amortization schedules based on your clients' transaction data. Journal entries for each schedule are created and posted directly to QuickBooks on the appropriate dates. This eliminates the manual spreadsheet maintenance that most CPA firms currently use to manage these schedules.
