Transactions
24 this periodFrom messy bank feed to CPA-ready package
Summa follows the workflow accountants actually want: continuous categorization during the year, not a panic cleanup in March.
Bank & card sync
Connect business checking, credit cards, and payment processors. Transactions flow in automatically, or upload a CSV if you prefer not to link accounts yet.
AI categorization
Summa learns your vendors and maps expenses to the right categories and tax lines. Software, travel, meals, contractors, each tagged consistently month after month.
Receipt OCR & matching
Snap, forward, or upload receipts. AI reads vendor, date, and total, then matches each receipt to the bank transaction it belongs to.
Review queue
Ambiguous purchases land in a short review queue. One tap confirms the category, and Summa remembers your choice for next time.
Live reports
Profit and loss, expense breakdowns, and cash flow update as transactions categorize. Know where you stand before year-end, not after.
Accountant package
Export ledger, P&L, category totals, reconciliation, receipt archive, and a memo on flagged items in one ZIP your CPA can open and work from immediately.
Your CPA gets structure, not a shoebox
Most small business owners do not need another full accounting suite. They need clean, categorized books all year and a single export that saves their accountant hours of sorting. That is what Summa is built for.
- Categories map to tax lines, so expense totals roll up correctly for filing.
- Receipts stay attached to the transactions they support, audit-ready.
- Flagged memo explains edge cases so your accountant does not have to guess.
