Definition

What is Growthy?

Growthy is an AI bookkeeping platform that categorizes QuickBooks Online and Xero transactions automatically. 85% accurate on first import, 90%+once it learns a client's patterns. You connect QBO or Xero (or upload a bank CSV), Growthy sorts the routine 80% of transactions, then surfaces the rest in a triage queue with confidence scores. You review and approve before anything syncs. There are no bank rules to maintain. Growthy runs in two modes: as a workflow layer on top of your existing QBO or Xero books (no client migration), or as a standalone general ledger replacing QBO/Xero entirely. Built by a CPA firm partner with 18 years of hands-on bookkeeping. Free during alpha, 5 company slots open.

Pattern learning vs bank rules

Why no bank rules.

Bank rules break the moment a vendor name changes, a description format shifts, or a deposit nets out differently. Pattern learning watches what you do, not what you wrote down a year ago.

Bank rulesthe old way
~30 rules per client to maintain
Linear growth in rule maintenance per added client. The 26th client costs the same time as the first.
Breaks on vendor renames, description shifts
Vendor changes its merchant name. Rule misses silently until you notice at month-end review.
Same rule fires across clients (wrong half the time)
Generic rules collide with per-client coding standards. Conflicts resolve silently to one winner.
Requires constant audit
A 450-rule spreadsheet across 15 clients is its own maintenance project.
Pattern learningGrowthy way
Zero rules to write or maintain
Move a transaction once. Growthy memorizes vendor, amount, and memo. The next one books itself.
Per-client memory
Each client book has its own pattern set. The 26th client adds zero rule-maintenance burden.
Confidence score on every guess
Green is auto-post on approval. Yellow is check it. Red is tell me what this is. Confidence drives the queue.
Asks when unsure
Pattern disagreement triggers a flag, surfaced in your queue before it posts.
How Growthy compares

What you would otherwise be doing.

Five alternatives every bookkeeper, firm partner, or new founder has weighed at some point. The Growthy counter for each.

  • Manual QBO categorization. About 50% accurate. 2 to 3 hours every morning.

    Growthy: 85% on first import, climbs to 90%+ on returning clients.

  • Bank rules. About 30 per client. Break weekly. Generic across books.

    Growthy: Zero rules. Per-client pattern memory.

  • Botkeeper. Reconciles in their system, not QBO. Double work.

    Growthy: Categorizes inside your existing QBO or Xero. No double work.

  • Digits. Forces a full QBO migration. Their system or nothing.

    Growthy: Workflow layer on QBO and Xero. No migration.

  • Pilot. Done-for-you at $600 to $1K a month. Replaces your bookkeeper.

    Growthy: You stay in the seat. You review. You approve. You sign off.
