## The Problem

Invoices arrive via email, PDF, mail, and vendor portals — CPA Firm Administrators re-key them into Canopy, chase GL codes and approvers, and still end up with duplicates and late fees.

## What We Build in Canopy

AI pulls bills from every channel, extracts line items, assigns GL codes using Public Accounting Ops patterns, routes approvals, and sends payment files to Canopy — processing cost per invoice drops from $15 to under $2. Purpose-built for teams running Canopy — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Canopy Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Canopy configuration.** We map the specific Canopy objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your public accounting ops practice.
2. **Build on the Canopy API or agent.** Integration happens inside Canopy — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Canopy with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
