Accaio's Accounting Manifesto

The Anti-Chasing
Manifesto.

Demand is high. Capacity is broken.
It is time to transition the accountant from a debt collector of information to a sovereign advisor.

The Overwhelmed Modernizer

You have digitized the ledger, but not the acquisition layer. You remain the manual bridge between client chaos and structured compliance.

Growth Paralysis

The marginal cost of onboarding (admin burden) now exceeds marginal revenue. Firms are actively refusing business.

Limiting or freezing client intake

Psychological Toll

Chasing Fatigue

The "Trusted Advisor" has been reduced to a "Debt Collector" of PDFs. This cognitive load creates a persistent background anxiety that actively degrades professional value.

The Demographic Time Bomb

Talent is scarce. Using high-cost talent for low-value chasing is "Revenue Leakage." Young talent rejects "Belgian administrative sh*t" in favor of true advisory work.

Topology Shift:
Push Network

The Peppol mandate isn't just a format change (PDF to XML); it's a topological shift. We are moving from a manual "Push" model (Client emails you) to an automatic "Network" model (Supplier routes data to you).

The Transition Gap (2025-2026)

You will face hybrid chaos: pristine Peppol XMLs mixed with messy email PDFs. Accaio bridges this gap by treating a messy PDF with the same "agentic speed" as a structured XML.

Market Analysis

Why the "Stack" Failed You

Current market leaders built architectures of processing, not acquisition. They excel at the ledger, but fail at the fetch.

The Post-Accounting Trap

Ref: Silverfin / Reporting Tools
  • Sync-Time Latency: Relies on API polling (every ~60 mins). Data is rarely real-time.
  • Blind Spots: Cannot chase what it does not see. Only analyzes data after it arrives.

The Passive Receiver

Ref: Yuki / Booking Engines
  • Upload Bottleneck: Digitizes the shoebox, but still relies on client to fill it.
  • Queue Latency: Batch processing creates delays between upload and availability.

The Manual Portal

Ref: Billtobox / Portals
  • User Dependency: "Drag & Drop" means the user must do the work.
  • Sync Fragility: Background services fail, leaving documents stuck in "sent" folders.

Enter Superagency

Accaio moves from "Automation" (Rules) to "Agency" (Goals). Our agents autonomously fetch, predict, and verify without human triggers.

The Right to Disconnect

Our commitment to the Belgian accountant.

The Designated Bad Guy

We play the debt collector so you don't have to. Accaio chases the documents, protecting your relationship capital.

Death of the Missing Invoice

A missing invoice is a system failure. Our agents predict and fetch gaps from portals (Telenet, Proximus) before the period closes.

Advisory is the Job

You studied finance, not PDF organization. We automate the 'what' so you can explain the 'why'.
