Liscio for bookkeeping firms

The chase ends before it starts.

The admin that buries a small firm, handled before you touch it. File Intelligence reads documents on the way in, names them to your convention, and files them by client. You stop being the filing system.

The real bottleneck

The work is not what slows you down. The admin around it is.

For a small firm, the hours do not disappear into the books. They disappear into chasing documents, renaming files, and finding what a client sent three weeks ago. None of it is billable. All of it is on you.

How File Intelligence ends it

Each document read, named and filed, or flagged, before it reaches your desk.

It reads every document on the way in

A bank statement, a 1099, a receipt, an invoice. File Intelligence identifies each one the moment it arrives, before it ever reaches your desk.

It names them to your convention

Every file follows your naming rules automatically. No renaming, no sorting, no deciding which client a stray document belongs to.

It flags what it does not recognize

Anything outside what it knows is set aside for your review. It tells you. It never guesses, and it never fabricates.

Capacity without a hire

Take on more clients without adding a single pair of hands.

For most small firms the limit on growth is not the accounting. It is the manual time spent chasing documents and organizing files. Remove that, and one person carries the load of a larger team.

  • The organizing labor that forces small firms to either hire or drown is handled for you
  • One operator carries more clients, because the per-client admin load drops
  • No two-month hiring search, no single point of failure, no training a new pair of hands on your system
  • Capacity you can add this week, not next quarter
No migration, no new silo

It works on top of the tools you already run.

Most firms already moved to the cloud. Few got the time back they were promised. Liscio works alongside the storage you already run, with no rip-and-replace. Keep using Google Drive, OneDrive or SharePoint through Liscio's integrations and move the files you choose there, or keep client files in Liscio's own folders.

Google Drive Microsoft OneDrive SharePoint

Keep your storage. Keep your workflow. Add the intelligence that reads and organizes everything moving through it.

Build your own requests

Create onboarding, monthly close, or any checklist your firm runs — no tech skills needed.

Track every request

See what each client has returned and what's still outstanding, without chasing anyone.

One platform for everything

Replace the scattered tools you stitch together with a single, custom-branded client platform.

Run like a bigger firm

Look as organized as a firm three times your size.

A professional client experience without the overhead a small firm cannot afford to run. Secure messaging, organized requests, and a clear record of every file and conversation, all in one place.

Questions

For the small firm operator.

Do I have to move my files into Liscio?

No. Your storage is your choice. Keep using SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive or Box through Liscio's integrations, with no rip-and-replace. Keep client uploads in Liscio and move the files you choose, or combined files, to your firm's permanent storage. Or keep client files in Liscio's own folders.

I am a one-person firm. Is this built for me?

Yes. The smaller the firm, the more the operator is the one doing the admin. File Intelligence handles the reading, naming, and organizing so a solo or small firm can run like a larger one without adding headcount.

What documents does it recognize?

It covers the documents bookkeeping firms handle most: bank and credit card statements, invoices, receipts, ledgers, 1099s, W-2s, and the broader set of tax and financial documents. When something falls outside what it recognizes, it flags it for your review rather than guessing.

Is this AI?

No. File Intelligence is deterministic. It is built specifically for accounting and bookkeeping documents rather than a generic model adapted to them, so the same document produces the same result every time.
