Free tool · No signup Bank statement → QBO converter. Drop in a PDF, get clean CSV or .QBO transactions — your file never leaves your browser.
Convert free →Forward the mess — bank feeds, receipts, payroll. CoController categorizes, reconciles and drafts the close. You approve every posting.
QuickBooks has a blind spot no outside app can reach. Here's how CoController AI is built around it — one subscription, two halves.
The full walkthrough — install the extension, connect QuickBooks, let it categorize your bank feed, approve, posted. 67 seconds.
Truewind won't show you its price. Puzzle asks you to leave QuickBooks entirely. CoController AI gives you — the accountant — superpowers on the ledger you already use.
Every client, every period, one checklist. Live auto-status: bank recs done, uncategorized cleared, statements matched. Know exactly what's blocking each close.
AI suggests the right account head for every bank transaction with confidence scores and plain-English reasons. Approve one by one or batch-post verified rows.
Rollforward proof, statement matching, and exact auto-match against independent bank statements. Math that's provably correct — never fudged.
P&L vs. prior month with AI-written variance explanations. Catch miscodings and surprises before your client does.
One click exports the whole close — checklist, reconciliations, journal entries, supporting docs. Review-ready and audit-ready.
Missing receipts and bills get requested automatically, chased politely, and logged. No more month-end document hunts.
Each agent does the repetitive preparation inside QuickBooks Online — then hands you a clean review queue. Nothing is final until you approve it.
Categorizes every bank-feed transaction, learns your firm's own history, and cleans up messy descriptor payee names. Approve one by one or batch-post the confident rows.

For accountants & fractional controllers.
For growing firms.
No. It sits on top of QuickBooks Online (or Xero) as the controller layer — review, reconcile, close. Your ledger stays the system of record.
Yes. The app is read-first: nothing is ever posted to a ledger without your explicit approval. Every suggestion shows a preview, every action is written to an audit log, and client data is strictly isolated per client.
Upload the bank statement or QBO export as CSV and keep working. The reconciler and review queue run fully on files — you'll never be blocked waiting on a feed.
Pilot is an outsourced bookkeeping service: strangers do your books in 15–21 days for $169+/month. CoController is software that makes you faster, closes in about a day, and costs $149/month for your first 4 clients.
Intuit Assist is genuinely useful — for a business owner working inside one QBO file. It answers questions, categorizes transactions, and flags anomalies. But it's built owner-first: most plans cap you at 25 chat prompts a month, cross-client questions are still "coming soon," and nothing about it learns how your firm categorizes across clients. If you run month-end for 15 clients, you're still opening 15 files. CoController is the accountant's layer across all of them: one review queue, suggestions that learn your firm's history, ASC 842 lease schedules, flux analysis, and approval-gated posting with a full audit log. Intuit's own firm workflow tool, Books Close, is a separate per-client monthly charge on top.
Truewind is the closest direct competitor — AI close automation that posts journal entries into QBO, built for CPA firms. The practical differences: Truewind doesn't publish pricing (every deal starts with a sales call), and it's aimed at larger firms and finance teams. CoController publishes its price — $149/month for your first 4 clients — is built for firms of any size, and includes things Truewind doesn't advertise, like ASC 842 lease schedules and suggestions that learn your firm's own categorization history.
It's designed for accountants, bookkeepers, and fractional controllers. Business owners are welcome too — the explanations are written in plain English, not jargon.
