Most business owners assume that proper bookkeeping and financial management require hours each week—or an entire finance team. But with modern AI tools, a clean, compliant, insight-rich finance workflow can be maintained in as little as 10 minutes a day.

Not by cutting corners.
Not by ignoring the details.
But by letting AI automate the heavy lifting so humans only handle quick approvals and higher-level decisions.

Here’s how SMEs are using AI platforms like ccMonet to run a streamlined, reliable finance workflow in just minutes per day.

1. Snap → Submit → Done: Document Handling in Under 2 Minutes

Employees no longer need to:

• Type invoice data
• Rename files
• Decide categories
• Forward receipts to the finance team

With ccMonet, the workflow is simple:

1. Snap a photo of a receipt or upload a vendor bill
2. AI extracts all details instantly
3. The system auto-categorises and posts to the correct account

This replaces what used to be 10–20 minutes of manual work per document.

Daily time spent: 2 minutes

2. AI Handles Reconciliation Automatically

Instead of manually:

• Matching bank transactions to invoices
• Checking deposits against sales
• Tracking which bills remain unpaid
• Resolving inconsistencies

AI does the matching continuously in the background.

ccMonet reads your bank feed, cross-checks invoices, flags anomalies, and syncs everything neatly—no spreadsheet formulas, no manual checking.

Your daily task?
Review and confirm a few AI-suggested matches.

Daily time spent: 2 minutes

3. Quick Daily Review of Cash Flow & Spending

Traditional finance dashboards require setup, formulas, and constant maintenance.
AI accounting tools build them automatically.

Each morning, owners can open ccMonet and instantly see:

• Current cash position
• Today’s expected inflows/outflows
• Expense categories with unusual spikes
• Profitability trends
• Vendor spending insights

No downloading. No refreshing. No manual consolidation.

Daily time spent: 1 minute

4. Approve Payments or Expense Claims in Seconds

Instead of chasing employees or digging through attachments, AI pre-fills and verifies reimbursement or payment requests.

You simply:

• Tap to approve
• Or flag for correction

AI ensures each claim is linked to a receipt, correctly categorised, and compliant.

Daily time spent: 1 minute

5. AI Flags Issues Before They Become Problems

Instead of discovering problems at month-end, AI alerts you in real time:

• Missing documents
• Duplicate invoices
• Suspicious vendor charges
• Unusual spending patterns
• Unreconciled bank items
• Upcoming tax deadlines

This proactive workflow eliminates the typical month-end chaos.

Daily time spent: 2 minutes

6. Let AI + Human Experts Close the Books for You

The monthly close no longer requires:

• Endless email chains
• Spreadsheet cleanup
• Manual reconciliations
• Searches for missing receipts

ccMonet combines AI automation with expert accountants who review and finalise everything.

Your involvement?
A quick review or clarification when needed—usually only a few minutes.

Daily time spent: (averaged) 1 minute
