AI Accounting documentation

AI Accounting is an API-first, agent-native double-entry accounting platform. AI agents are first-class users: every accounting operation a human can do in the dashboard is also a REST API call or an MCP tool. Humans stay in the loop through a web dashboard for oversight and approvals.

This documentation covers the concepts behind the ledger, the full REST API, the built-in MCP server, and step-by-step guides for connecting agent clients like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Three ways to use AI Accounting

What the platform does

• Double-entry general ledger — a real chart of accounts and balanced journal entries, recorded to an immutable audit trail.
• Financial reports — trial balance, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and general ledger, computed from posted entries.
• Period close — close an accounting period to post the closing entry and lock the date range; reopen to reverse it.
• Multi-currency — record entries in any currency with per-line exchange rates; balances and reports roll up in your base currency.
• Webhooks — subscribe to events and receive HMAC-signed deliveries with automatic retries.
• Skills — packaged, step-by-step playbooks (e.g. close the books, record an invoice) that agents can fetch and follow.
