Built for firms that need defensible books

QuickBooks stays.Plaincount controls what enters it.

QuickBooks remains your system of record. Plaincount is the control gate.

Plaincount does not replace QuickBooks workflows — it adds a required approval gate before anything is posted.

Partners review exceptions, not every transaction.

Ingest

Transactions and invoices are collected.

Review gate

Professional Liability

What fails when posting is uncontrolled

If approval can’t be proven, the ledger isn’t defensible.

Entries change without sign-off

Entries appear without human sign-off.

Responsibility is unclear

You cannot name the approver.

Errors surface during close

Mistakes become permanent record.

Approval cannot be proven

You cannot prove oversight.

Capture tools collect documents.Control tools protect the ledger.

Capture tools collect data. Control tools protect the ledger.

Capture Tools

  • Collect receipts and invoices
  • Extract fields
  • Push data into accounting software

Plaincount (Control Layer)

  • Blocks posting until approved
  • Names who approved and why
  • Records approval timestamps
  • Supports rollback for posted errors

Partners review exceptions, not transactions.

The Ledger

QuickBooks

"Shows what changed."

  • Categorization result
  • Financial balance
  • Transaction history
The Decisions

Plaincount

"Shows who approved it, when, and why."

  • Named reviewer attribution
  • Approval timestamps
  • Review reason codes
Ideal Profile

Built for firms that can’t afford silent errors

This adds a step. That step is intentional.

You’ve been burned by an audit, filing, or dispute

You need to ensure it never happens again.

You manage junior staff at scale

Prevent inexperienced staff from posting errors.

You sign off on books and need defensibility

You need proof of review for every entry.

You operate under regulatory or reporting obligations

Compliance requires an immutable audit trail.

Exclusions

Plaincount is intentionally not designed for...

You want maximum speed with minimal review

We prioritize accuracy over speed.

You don’t care who approved entries

We force attribution.

You want bookkeeping software

This is a control layer, not a GL.

"Plaincount is a governance requirement, not an optional tool. We work with firms where ledger integrity is non-negotiable."

Audit-ready by design

Plaincount is a control plane, not a new ledger.

Immutable audit log of approvals and posting actions
Idempotency + dedupe to prevent duplicates
Rollback support for posted entries (void/delete based on QuickBooks constraints)
Least-privilege access and firm separation
"
Accountants don't trust "invisible logic." They trust visibility, control, and reversibility.

Priced by risk exposure, not document count

You are paying for enforced control, not document processing.
