# A bookkeeper who watches

> A standing AI bookkeeper that chases what is owed, matches payments as they land, and reports the balance every morning.

Alfera connects to QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, and Square, then chases unpaid invoices, reconciles payments, flags mismatches, and reports balances from a chat message. Polite reminders, full audit trail, you approve before send. Start free.

## How it works

### Connect QuickBooks, Stripe, and your inbox
Link your accounting and payment tools through OAuth, plus the inbox reminders go out from. No API keys, no scripts.

### Set your reminder rules
Tell Alfera when to chase: a nudge at 7 days, a firmer note at 14, escalate to you at 45. Set the rules once and it follows them.

### It chases, reconciles, and reports
Alfera sends reminders on your approval, matches payments as they land, flags anything that does not add up, and reports the balance every morning.

## Features

### Chase what you are owed with reminders that sound like you
Alfera reads live invoice status, drafts polite, on-brand reminders to anyone who is late, and sends on your approval. No more awkward emails, no more falling behind on who owes what.

### Reconcile payments and report the balance
Alfera matches incoming Stripe charges against open invoices in QuickBooks, flags anything that does not line up, and summarizes the balance. You stop hunting for which payment paid which invoice.

### Catch anomalies before they cost you
Alfera watches for duplicate charges, partial payments, invoices that drift past terms, and amounts that do not match the original quote. It flags the issue with the numbers and waits for you to decide.

### Tee up the books for month-end
Alfera pulls together the close: open invoices, aging buckets, payments received, and anything still unmatched. It hands you a clean summary so month-end takes minutes instead of an afternoon.

## Trust

## FAQ

### Which accounting and payment tools does Alfera support?
Accounting in QuickBooks and Xero, payments in Stripe and Square. Alfera reads invoice status, matches payments, flags mismatches, drafts reminders, and reports balances across them, plus logs every action to your books.

### Will it message my clients without asking?
No. Alfera drafts every reminder, shows you the exact wording and who it goes to, and sends only on your approval. You can also pre-approve standing rules, like a 14-day nudge, and review the drafts before they go out.

### Can it move money or change my books on its own?
No. Alfera never moves money and never posts a charge or payout. It drafts reminders, proposes reconciliations, and flags anomalies. You approve, then it records the action. Nothing financial happens without your go-ahead.

### How does it spot anomalies?
Alfera cross-checks Stripe and Square activity against your open invoices in QuickBooks. It catches duplicate charges, partial payments, amounts that do not match the original quote, and invoices drifting past terms, then flags each one with the numbers.

### What do I see after each run?
An itemized summary with real numbers: who is overdue and by how much, which payments matched, what got flagged, and which reminders went out. Every action is written to your books with a timestamp, so nothing happens off the record.

### How much does it cost?
Start free with no credit card. Paid plans begin at $50/month when Alfera is running your receivables day to day, and you can cancel anytime.
