# fiscal50

> fiscal50 is AI-powered online bookkeeping software built for small businesses. It automatically categorizes, records, and reconciles bank transactions using double-entry accounting — turning raw bank data into balanced financial statements instantly.

fiscal50 eliminates manual bookkeeping by connecting directly to bank accounts and credit cards via Plaid, using AI to recommend expense categories, generate journal entries, and keep the books balanced in real time. It is a QuickBooks alternative designed for simplicity, affordability, and automation.

## Core Features

- **Automated Bank Feeds**: Connect bank accounts and credit cards via Plaid or upload statements through Web Connect (OFX) files. Transactions sync automatically and are mapped to the correct accounts.
- **AI Categorization & Journal Entries**: The AI engine analyzes each transaction and recommends the appropriate income/expense category, customer, or vendor — then records the double-entry journal entry automatically.
- **AI-Powered Bookkeeping Assistant**: A virtual bookkeeper chatbot accessible at app.fiscal50.com/assistant. Supports natural language commands to record transactions, generate reports, manage invoices, and set reminders.
- **Invoicing & Expense Management**: Create and send professional invoices, track payments, manage vendor bills, capture receipts by upload or email, and monitor cash flow.
- **Inventory & Asset Tracking**: Track inventory levels and business assets, including depreciation schedules.
- **Financial Reporting**: Instant access to financial statements including Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, and operational/summary reports. Reports can be exported to Microsoft Excel.
- **Scheduled & Batch Processing**: Automate recurring invoices, deferred income/expenses, payroll entries, asset depreciation, and payment reminders.
- **Multi-Location & Multi-Entity**: Organize transactions by location, department, project, or property. Manage multiple business entities from one account (Business Pro plan).
- **Workflows & Approvals**: Built-in approval workflow for bookkeeping accuracy and compliance oversight.
- **Integrations**: Connects with Stripe, Shopify, Gusto, Plaid, and Maven Systems PMP to sync sales, payments, and payroll data automatically.
