About


Conto turns bank statements and check images into coded transactions for accounting and bookkeeping firms. Each transaction is coded to the client's chart of accounts and tied to the statement line or check it came from.

Why Conto exists

For many firms, write-up work still starts with typing. Someone opens a statement PDF or a stack of scanned checks, keys each line into QuickBooks or a spreadsheet, and then codes it. The work is slow, it invites errors, and it takes hours that could go to the judgment calls clients rely on the firm for. Conto does the keying and the first pass at coding, and your team reviews the result.

How we build it

  • Every number ties to a source. Click any transaction to see the statement line or check it came from.
  • When Conto isn't sure, it asks. A transaction it can't code with confidence goes to your review queue instead of getting a guess.
  • It learns your firm's coding. Suggestions come from your own history, and your clients' data is never used to train AI models.
  • It works with the books you already keep. Exports import into QuickBooks Desktop (IIF), QuickBooks Online (QBO), or Excel.

Where we are

Conto is in private beta with a small number of firms. I'm Eric, the founder. I read every early-access request myself and reply personally.
