Accounting · Microsoft Teams · Private app

Your books, where your team already works

Receipts and vendor invoices are read, approved and posted without leaving Teams — and every entry already knows the project it belongs to and the deal it came from. AB Finance is your accounting system, not an add-on to one.

A private app, United States first

AB Finance is not on Microsoft AppSource and there is no self-serve sign-up. We are building it with a small number of design partners in the United States — US dollars, a single entity, and services businesses that carry no inventory. Japanese accounting has requirements we intend to meet properly or not at all, so Japan follows later.

From the receipt to the trial balance

Money gets approved in the place your team already talks, and lands in a real ledger on the way — with none of the retyping that usually sits in between.

Photograph the receipt. That is the expense report.

Snap it in Teams and AB Finance reads the vendor, the amount, the date and the tax, picks the category, and checks it against your policy. The manager approves in one tap — and the entry is posted, not queued for somebody to retype on Friday.

Vendor invoices read themselves

An invoice arrives by email and AB Finance pulls out the amount, the due date and the terms, routes it to the person who should approve it with the remaining budget attached, and schedules the payment. Nothing sits in an inbox waiting to be noticed.

Every entry knows where it came from

An expense knows its project because AB Projects holds it. An invoice knows the deal because AB Sales closed it. An approval knows the reporting line because AB Talent holds the org chart. No accounting system can assemble that context, because none of them own those products.

A real ledger underneath

Double-entry journals, a chart of accounts, the general ledger, the trial balance and bank reconciliation. Approved transactions post straight through, so what you approved in the morning is in the books by the afternoon — this is your system of record, not an export waiting to be imported somewhere else.

Invoice out, and the money in

A deal won in AB Sales becomes an invoice without anyone retyping the terms. Recurring billing runs itself, and AB Finance tracks who has paid, who has not, and sends the reminders you would otherwise have to remember to send.

Close the month, and see the runway

Profit and loss, balance sheet, and budget against actual broken down by project. The cash-flow forecast is built on your real sales pipeline rather than a guess — so a tight month three months out is something you are told about, not something you discover.

The parts that have to be exactly right

Accounting has no partial credit. These are built to be correct for the companies we serve — and where a domain deserves a specialist, we connect to one instead of pretending.

Chart of accounts & journals

Double-entry, the general ledger and the trial balance — the foundation everything else stands on.

Bank feeds & reconciliation

Transactions come in automatically and match against what you have already approved.

Fixed assets & depreciation

Schedules that run themselves, so nothing is remembered in a spreadsheet once a year.

Budget vs actual, by project

Project cost comes from AB Projects, so the comparison is real rather than reconstructed.

Sales tax, connected

Handled through Avalara or TaxJar. Thousands of US jurisdictions deserve a specialist, not our second-best attempt.

Payroll, connected

Runs on Gusto, Rippling or ADP. We take the numbers and post them; we do not calculate your payslips.

Accountant access & period locking

Your accountant gets in, and a closed period stays closed.

SSO & audit trail

Questions finance teams ask us

Not by signing up. It is a private app — no AppSource listing and no self-serve plan — and we are onboarding design partners in the United States one company at a time. Talk to us and we will tell you honestly whether the current build fits how you keep your books.

It replaces them. AB Finance is the system of record — the ledger lives here. That said, you do not have to switch on day one: you can start with expense claims and vendor invoices, export to whatever you run today, and move the ledger across when you are ready. Nobody should be asked to move their books on a promise.

No, and we do not intend to. Payroll runs on Gusto, Rippling or ADP and we post the results; US sales tax runs through Avalara or TaxJar. Both are domains where being nearly right is the same as being wrong, and both are better served by a specialist than by our second-best attempt.

Today: anyone holding inventory, trading in more than one currency, consolidating multiple entities, or doing manufacturing cost accounting. We would rather say that plainly than sell you something that is almost right — an accounting system that is ninety percent correct is not ninety percent of an accounting system.

Not yet. Japanese accounting has requirements — consumption tax methods, the qualified invoice system, and the electronic record retention law — that have to be met completely or not at all. We would rather arrive late and correct than early and approximate.

Tell us how your team closes the month

AB Finance is being built with a small number of finance teams. If you want an accounting system shaped around how your company actually spends and approves, now is when that gets decided.
