Today’s AR/AP processes are comically simple.  They consist of routines that are mundane and repetitive, yet mission critical, and they are abundant in all sizes of companies.  Finance staff wake to the same fate daily: an inbox stuffed with invoices with PDFs piling up. Industry estimates each bill or invoice processed by humans, costs a firm $15.  It’s hard, expensive, error-prone work that goes into pushing data into QuickBooks, Bill.com, Square, or Dynamics. It’s the least rewarding part of doing business.

AI Agents turn comically simple workflows into comically simple, automated processes where the inputs are always the same: emailed PDFs or webflows; the human reasoning steps are predictable: capture, classify, transform, accurately; and the outputs are known in advance: the same accounting rules and procedures are applied every time.

And if there is variability in process, these AI Agents can learn, adapt, and follow rules, just as a human employee learns and adapts over time. This is work that is necessary to the operations of any business, but it is work that was never meant for humans.

AI Agents that automate accounts payable and accounts receivable processes perform the exact steps your current staff perform, only faster, cheaper, and without burnout.  Agents:

• Capture bills and invoices directly from email.
• Classify them by vendor, account, and customer.
• Reason through context like dates, totals, and PO numbers.
• Transform the data into the clean, structured format required by your accounting stack by routing that data seamlessly into QuickBooks, Bill.com, Square, or Dynamics.

The result? What used to take hours now takes seconds.  And convenience isn’t just about making life easier. It’s about eliminating friction, reducing error, and unlocking value that’s been buried in repetitive workflows. We built iClerk to handle the parts of professional services that were never meant for humans in the first place. See how the iClerk AP Agents automate the comically simple processes no humans should perform.
