Bookkeeping inbox to P&L
Inbox in. Sheet out. Monthly P&L updates. You still own the books.

How it's set up
They posted a bookkeeping agent that scanned inbox, logged invoices and payments, built a Google Sheet, and made a monthly auto-updating P&L. We have the tweet. We do not have the Sheet we audited.
- 01Connect the inbox where invoices land. Read-only first.
- 02The bot logs invoices and payments it finds. It does not invent a line.
- 03It builds or updates a Google Sheet you own. You spot-check rows.
- 04Monthly P&L tab updates from that Sheet. You read it before anyone else does.
- 05You still file taxes. Cap inbox rereads.
Prompt
We cannot write an honest starter prompt from what was published. Use the steps above.
How the money works
Clean books and a living P&L save accountant hours and missed lines. First proof is one Sheet with invoices from real mail and a P&L tab you checked — not a tax refund we have not seen.
What to try first
This week: inbox to Sheet for one month of invoices, spot-check, then add a P&L tab.
Watch out
- Tokens: cap the run so one desk does not burn the week.
- Time: one checked result beats a pile you did not review.
- Claim: We have the tweet. Not a Sheet export we saw. Not a public install.
