CASHFISH FOR ACCOUNTANTS

Close the
month
with the paperwork
still attached.

Nobody hired you to retype a vendor name. CashFish reads the invoices, receipts, bills and statements out of your clients’ inboxes and folders, lifts the vendor, amount, date and a suggested category off each one, and hands you a queue to judge. What you approve becomes the record — and the original document stays clipped to it, through the dashboard and out the other side as CSV or PDF.

01Five places, one month

The records exist.
Reuniting them is the job.

INBOX
The receipt is a photograph, cropped just below the total
It landed at 22:14 with the message “for the files”. The amount survived the crop; the vendor name did not. Your client ate that meal five weeks ago and remembers none of it.
THREAD
The invoice is three forwards deep, under the subject “FYI”
No amount in the subject line, no vendor in the body — an attachment and the assumption that you will find it. You do find it, eventually, by searching for a number you half remember.
STATEMENT
Two hundred and fourteen lines, forty with nothing behind them
The card statement is complete and useless on its own. Every line is a fact. Forty are facts without evidence, and none of them can be called anything until a document turns up.
SMS
“What was this $380?” — asked on the 12th, still unanswered
The question went out, the reply never came, and the month closes on Friday. Without a document the category stops being a fact and becomes a decision you would rather not make alone.
DRIVE
August is half on a shared drive and half on somebody’s desktop
There is a folder. There is also a second folder with a different naming convention, and one person who knows which is current. Reuniting the two is the work before the work.

None of this is accounting. It is retrieval — done by search bar, in the last week of the month, by the one person in the arrangement whose time is worth the most.

02Read, extracted, held for you

Every document arrives
already typed.
You decide what it means.

Connected inboxes are read every five minutes, and connecting one brings up to 150 days of history with it; client folders on Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive connect alongside them. Vendor, amount, date and a suggested category come off each document at 99% accuracy, usually in under three seconds. Whatever the extraction is unsure of does not get a guess — it gets held.

03The handover pack

One pack at the end
of the period, and
every line can prove itself.

This is what the month hands over: not a spreadsheet rebuilt from four sources, but the approved record set with its evidence still attached. Open any figure and the document behind it opens too — the invoice, the bill, the photographed receipt.

CashFish does not file taxes and does not give advice. It prepares and evidences the records; the return, the adjustments and the professional judgment stay with you and the client’s tax preparer. Sample figures shown for one August.

04Four things it does, plainly

The typing, the sorting, the chasing — handled below you.

Nothing here replaces a decision you would want to make. It removes the four hours of preparation in front of each one.

01

Extraction does the typing

Each invoice, receipt, bill and statement is read on arrival and comes back as fields, not as an attachment to open later. The file itself stays on the record, so the extraction is always checkable against the paper it came from.

02

Categories recommended, never assumed

Suggestions are made against the category structure you have approved, and your corrections shape the next ones. Anything ambiguous is flagged instead of filed, and the same bill arriving in two mailboxes is caught before it doubles an expense.

243 categorized automatically4 corrected by you4 in review1 duplicate caught

August, across three connected inboxes.

03

Payables and receivables assemble themselves

A bill read from the inbox carries its due date; an invoice raised becomes a receivable the day it goes out. With read-only bank sync across 12,000+ banks, incoming payments match against them, so “who still owes what” is a screen rather than a reconstruction. Both arrive with Growth.

04

Reporting built only from what you approved

Period dashboards and exports draw on the approved set and nothing else, which is why the four held items are missing from August rather than quietly included in it. Every line in a report opens the document underneath.

05What the period costs now

A close measured
in days,
not in weekends.

Most of a month-end is retrieval, and retrieval is what stops. The judgment stays exactly where it was — it just starts on a set of records that is already complete, already categorized and already carrying its evidence.

0%
extraction accuracy on invoices and receipts, typically under three seconds
0 days

APRMAYJUNJULAUG

An illustrative curve between the two figures CashFish publishes: a three-to-four-week manual close, and a two-to-three-day close once the records are extracted and approved. Your own periods will not look like this one. Forecasting inside CashFish is an estimate drawn from history, receivables, payables and recurring patterns — never a promise.

06What it reads from

The client’s mailbox, the client’s folder — and the years before you.

Gmail
Client threads are read on arrival — invoices, receipts, bills and statements, with duplicates matched across mailboxes.
READS IN
Outlook
The same reading on Microsoft accounts, and on any other provider through plain IMAP.
READS IN
QuickBooks
History flows one way, into CashFish, so prior periods sit beside the documents you are capturing now.
IMPORTS ONE WAY
Xero
Also one way in. Getting figures back out is done through the CSV and PDF exports, not a return sync.
IMPORTS ONE WAY
Google Drive
The client folder stops being a second filing system — documents in it are read and attached to records.
READS IN
Dropbox
Same for shared Dropbox folders, including the scans a client drops in at the end of a quarter.
READS IN

Also Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, Zoho Mail, plain IMAP, OneDrive, Stripe, Square, PayPal, DocuSign and Zapier. Bank access is read-only across 12,000+ banks on Growth and above. Data is held under 256-bit encryption with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, and any connection can be reviewed or disconnected from the Connection Health panel in settings.

07Growth, and why

Start with one client inbox.
Five months of it organize themselves.

Starter already reads documents, classifies them and exports CSV and PDF. Growth is the plan for period work because it adds read-only bank sync, the one-way QuickBooks and Xero import, and automatic payables and receivables — the parts a close leans on. Judge it on a real client’s backlog inside the trial.

The fine print of it.

No. It captures the documents, extracts the fields, proposes a category and keeps the source attached — the record-keeping underneath the work. Judgment, adjustments, filing and advice remain yours and the client’s tax preparer’s. Nothing is submitted to any authority on anyone’s behalf.
