The problems we actually solve

If any of these sound familiar,
you need ClairFlo.

🗂️

Messy books you haven't looked at in months — and tax season is coming

You know the feeling. The reconciliation tab has been open since February. Receipts are scattered across three email accounts. Your bookkeeper quit and took the context with them. ClairFlo's Historical Cleanup Engine triages errors by type, scores your book health, and applies corrections in batch — so you can start clean regardless of the mess you inherited.

→ Average cleanup: 3.2 hours vs. 40+ hours manually
🏦

Bank reconciliations that take all weekend — every single month

The average small business owner spends 6–10 hours per month on reconciliation. ClairFlo's four-tier matching engine (exact → fuzzy → semantic embeddings → AI reasoning) handles it continuously. By the time you open your laptop Monday morning, every transaction is matched, every variance is diagnosed, and the Rule of Nine has already found your transposition errors.

→ 92% match rate on first pass. 3× faster close cycle.
💳

Personal expenses mixed into your business account — a tax audit waiting to happen

It's the #1 bookkeeping blunder — and the hardest to catch retroactively. ClairFlo's Personal Expense Classifier analyses merchant category codes, transaction timing, geographic patterns, and purchase history to flag probable personal expenses before they corrupt your books. Weekend grocery runs at 8pm don't belong in COGS.

→ Catches ~8% more deductible business expenses than manual review
📊

No visibility into cash flow until it's too late to do anything about it

Most founders find out about a cash crunch when the bank balance hits zero. ClairFlo's Treasury module combines Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning for payment optimization to give you a 90-day rolling cash position — updated in real time, not at month-end. You'll see the wall coming with enough runway to steer.

→ 90-day cash forecast. Automated scenario planning.
🔐

No one person should be creating vendors AND releasing payments — but they are

Ghost vendor fraud and payment hijacking are the most common small-business financial crimes. ClairFlo's Segregation of Duties engine detects when the same operator touches conflicting parts of a process — and blocks the second action before any money moves. Six critical SoD conflicts enforced by default, configurable per your risk profile.

→ 6 critical fraud vectors blocked at the workflow level
📬

A supplier inbox full of invoices, remittances, and disputes that nobody has time to process

ClairFlo's Agentic Email Handler classifies every inbound O2P email, extracts invoice data via OCR, runs 3-way matching, drafts responses, and — for routine acknowledgements — sends them autonomously. All subject to an OPA approval gate. Your AP inbox processes itself.

→ 65%+ of O2P email handled with zero human touch

Bidirectional
The beta program

We built something we believe is genuinely different.
We need you to prove it.

ClairFlo is not another dashboard that repackages your QuickBooks data and calls it AI. It is an event-driven, agent-orchestrated financial operating system that works the way a world-class CFO would — continuously, invisibly, and with a full audit trail of every decision.

We've built the reconciliation engine. The AI classification pipeline. The three-way invoice matching. The compliance layer for Canada and the United States. The practice management suite. The treasury optimizer. The ghost vendor detection. The agentic email handler that processes your AP inbox while you sleep. We've built 45 features across the full financial operations stack.

What we have not done is run this at production scale with real businesses, real edge cases, and real accountants who will tell us — bluntly — what doesn't work. That is exactly what we need you for.

We are looking for 100 beta partners who will connect real data, stress-test real workflows, and give us the honest feedback that polished demos cannot surface. In exchange, you get early and free access to a platform that, when it's ready, will charge enterprise pricing for enterprise capabilities.

⚠ What honest looks like

This is a beta. Some features work flawlessly. Some need refinement. A few have rough edges we haven't smoothed yet. We will not pretend otherwise. What we can promise: every piece of feedback goes directly to the engineers who built the feature, every critical bug gets fixed in 48 hours, and you will have a direct line to the founders throughout the program. This is not a corporate beta with a ticketing system. It is a collaboration.

What you get

Full platform access — every module, no feature flags, no tiers
Free for the entire beta period (estimated 3–4 months)
50% off the first year when we launch publicly, locked in for life
Roadmap influence — your use case shapes what we build next
Dedicated onboarding session — we configure ClairFlo for your specific workflows
Slack channel access — direct line to the founding team
Beta partner badge and recognition in our launch materials

What we need from you

·
Connect at least one live data source (bank account, accounting software, or payment processor)
·
Use the platform for at least 30 days with real operational data
·
Complete a 20-minute structured feedback call once a month
·
File bugs and suggestions through our feedback channel when you find them

The companies that will get the most from this beta are founders or accountants who are actively frustrated with their current tools — not neutral observers who will run a surface-level evaluation. We want people with a problem who want it solved.

Questions

Straight answers

Is my financial data safe?
Yes — and we take this more seriously than most. ClairFlo uses post-quantum cryptography (Kyber768) for data at rest, AES-256-GCM for message-level encryption, and strict multi-tenant isolation where every database query is automatically scoped to your tenant ID. We do not train our AI models on your data. Your books are yours. We also maintain an immutable audit log of every action taken on your account — including by our own engineers.
How does ClairFlo connect to my existing tools?
We have live integrations with Plaid (banking), Stripe, Shopify, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gmail, and Microsoft 365. SFTP batch file import and inbound webhooks are available for other sources. During onboarding, we'll help you configure the connections that match your workflow. If a critical integration is missing, tell us — we've accelerated several integrations for beta partners.
Does ClairFlo replace my accountant?
No — and we don't want it to. ClairFlo automates the mechanical work: transaction classification, reconciliation, accruals, compliance calculations, invoice matching, email triage. This frees your accountant to do what AI cannot: exercise professional judgment, advise on strategy, review edge cases, and maintain relationships. Accountants who use ClairFlo don't get replaced — they get 3× more capacity. Many of our best beta partners are CPA firms using ClairFlo to serve more clients at higher margins.
What happens to my data when the beta ends?
Your data is yours, always. At the end of the beta, you'll have the option to continue on a paid plan (with your 50% lifetime discount locked in), export everything in standard formats (CSV, QuickBooks import, XBRL), or have your data deleted within 30 days. We will never hold your financial history hostage.
How accurate is the AI classification?
Our overall accuracy is 92% confidence on average, with 98.5% of transactions processed without human intervention. Accuracy improves over time as the system learns from your corrections — typically reaching >97% within 60 days for most business types. Every AI decision has a confidence score attached; anything below your configured threshold automatically routes to your review queue. You can trust the 92% and spot-check the rest.
I'm a CPA with 30+ clients. Can ClairFlo manage my whole practice?
Yes — the APME (Accountant Practice Management Extension) is designed specifically for this. You get a cross-client dashboard, unified review queue, compliance calendar across all clients, engagement letter generation (DocuSign), time tracking and invoicing, staff capacity management, and an AI daily brief that summarises what needs your attention across every client. Many of our beta partners are switching from juggling separate tools for time tracking, billing, client portal, and compliance calendar.
My books are a mess. Can ClairFlo still help?
This is actually one of the best entry points for ClairFlo. Our Historical Data Cleanup Engine scores your book health across eight dimensions, prioritises errors by materiality, and applies corrections in batch. We've helped beta partners get from F-grade books to audit-ready in under 4 hours — compared to 40+ hours of manual cleanup. The first thing we do in your onboarding session is run the health score and walk you through the remediation plan.
Does ClairFlo support Canadian GST/HST and CRA filing?
Yes — Canada is our primary compliance jurisdiction. ClairFlo handles GST/HST, QST, SR&ED credits, small business deduction, payroll remittances, and CRA My Business Account integration. Our compliance engine cites the specific CRA guidance it's relying on for each calculation, so your accountant can verify the reasoning, not just the number. US sales tax, nexus detection, 1099 generation, and Section 199A are also implemented.

AI Bookkeeping Automation That Actually Works

The problem with AI accounting software today

Most "AI bookkeeping" tools do one thing: they suggest a category for each transaction and ask you to confirm it. This is pattern-matching dressed up as intelligence. It still requires you to spend hours reviewing, clicking, and correcting. The AI is a faster version of the old software — not a genuinely different approach to financial operations.

ClairFlo is built on a fundamentally different architecture. Every transaction becomes a Canonical Financial Event that flows through an event-driven pipeline of specialized AI agents: a classifier that uses five-layer memory, a reconciliation engine that learns your matching patterns, a compliance layer that cites real standards, and a daily close engine that ensures your books are audit-ready every morning — not just at month-end.

Automated bank reconciliation that learns from your patterns

Bank reconciliation is one of the most time-consuming tasks in small business accounting. ClairFlo's four-tier matching engine starts with exact rule-based matching, escalates to fuzzy matching (RapidFuzz), then semantic embedding similarity, and finally DSPy AI reasoning for genuinely ambiguous transactions. The adaptive weight learner improves matching accuracy as you make corrections. When a variance remains unresolved, the variance diagnosis layer applies the Rule of Nine, sign error detection, and period error checks before flagging anything for human review. Most reconciling items are explained automatically.

Internal controls for small business — without a big audit department

Enterprise accounting systems spend millions on internal controls infrastructure. ClairFlo makes the same protection available to any business. Our Segregation of Duties engine enforces six critical conflict rules at the API level — blocking the same operator from creating vendors and releasing payments, or preparing and approving payroll. Ghost vendor authentication checks new suppliers against employee records, domain age, and business registries before activation. Benford's Law analysis runs monthly on your transaction population to detect statistical patterns consistent with financial manipulation. These aren't premium add-ons. They're built into the core platform.

Cash flow forecasting tools for founders who need to see around corners

Manual spreadsheet forecasting is backward-looking by nature — you're projecting from historical data that's already weeks old. ClairFlo uses ensemble Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning models for forecasting and payment optimization to give you a 90-day rolling cash position that updates in real time as transactions arrive. The AR-to-Treasury bridge automatically factors outstanding receivables into the forecast. You'll know about a cash shortfall 60 days before it happens — with enough time to actually do something about it.

QuickBooks vs. Xero vs. ClairFlo — what's actually different

QuickBooks Online and Xero are general ledger systems that record what happened to your money. ClairFlo is an intelligent pipeline that processes what's happening to your money — autonomously, in real time, with AI agents that understand context. You can connect both QuickBooks and Xero to ClairFlo and import historical data while ClairFlo handles forward-going processing. Many of our beta partners use ClairFlo alongside their existing accounting software during transition, then migrate fully once they've validated the accuracy on their specific transaction types.
