Every number checks out
Checked, not autopiloted
“How do I know it’s right?” is the question automatic bookkeeping never answers. Selfirm is built around it: every balance is checked, every figure opens up to the rows it was made from, and AI never turns a guess into a fact without you.
What Selfirm checks
- 01
Each statement adds up
Opening balance plus money in minus money out must equal the closing balance — per account, per currency. A gap is shown as a gap, never forced to balance.
- 02
Statements chain together
This month’s opening balance must match last month’s closing balance. A missing statement shows up as a break in the chain and becomes a matter on your desk.
- 03
Overlaps are removed
Download the same month twice, or a quarterly and a monthly statement that overlap: each movement is kept once.
- 04
Transfers are paired
Money leaving one of your accounts and arriving in another is proposed as one transfer, so it is neither income nor expense.
Trust you can inspect
Every figure opens up
Click a number to see the rows behind it and the page or line of the original file each one was read from.
Your word is a fact; AI’s is a suggestion
Suggestions from AI are marked as such. They become part of the record only when you confirm them, and confirmations can be undone.
Questions, not guesses
When a file is ambiguous — an account number not printed, a password-protected PDF — Selfirm asks on the desk instead of guessing.
Confirming has to be fast
A system that makes you confirm everything only works if confirming is quick. Matters of the same kind are grouped, the desk works from the keyboard, and once a file of a given kind has been understood, the next one like it is read without questions.
Common questions
What happens when a balance doesn’t match?
The difference is shown on the account for the period where it occurs, and a matter appears on your desk. Usually it means a statement is missing or a file was read wrongly; both can be fixed from there.
Do I have to confirm every single transaction?
No. You confirm what is uncertain: the classification of new movements, proposed transfer pairs, ambiguous files. Things that can be checked mechanically, like balances, are checked for you.
Can I see where a number came from?
Yes. Every figure on the desk and in the registry opens to the rows it is made of, and each row links to the original file and the place in it.
