# LedgerLeaf full AI context

LedgerLeaf is the public product brand for the bookkeeping application developed in the `tvrBookkeeper` codebase. The intended public host is `https://ledgerleaf.vanroojen.com/`. The internal repository and some backend export labels may still use the historical `tvrBookkeeper` name.

## Short description

LedgerLeaf is an AI-assisted bookkeeping product from vanRoojen LLC. It helps owner-led businesses collect receipts, invoices, statements, forwarded emails, CSV imports, and bank transactions; extract and classify the records; reconcile them to bank activity; keep uncertain items in a human review queue; and export source-linked packages for tax-year handoff.

## Audience

LedgerLeaf is designed for:

- owner-led LLCs and small businesses
- pass-through entities preparing cleaner CPA handoff packages
- operators who pay business expenses from both business and personal cards
- small shops that use Mercury and need bank activity matched to source evidence
- founders and service businesses that want monthly close habits instead of year-end cleanup

LedgerLeaf is not primarily positioned for enterprise ERP replacement, payroll processing, tax filing, or regulated tax advice.

## Core workflow

1. Ingest source evidence from uploads, email receipts, invoices, statements, CSV imports, and bank sync.
2. Store documents and extracted facts in tenant-scoped records.
3. Use AI and deterministic rules to OCR, classify, dedupe, propose business purpose text, and suggest matches.
4. Keep low-confidence or policy-sensitive records in review queues.
5. Match receipts and ledger entries to bank transactions, including Mercury activity.
6. Track owner-paid business expenses and owner-equity context where relevant.
7. Export structured CSV files and ZIP bundles with source documents for tax-year closeout.

## Product capabilities

- Document inbox for receipts, statements, invoices, images, PDFs, text files, and CSV imports.
- Controlled email ingestion with sender or domain approval before replaying inbound messages.
- AI OCR and classification with tenant-configurable model endpoint support.
- Expense, income, vendor, customer, invoice, asset, mileage, and tax-year workflows.
- Review queues for uncertain classification, matching, evidence, and owner-payment cases.
- Mercury account discovery, credential testing, activity sync, and reconciliation flows.
- Personal payment account and owner-equity handling for owner-paid business expenses.
- Classification rules and category governance for recurring vendor patterns.
- Year-end statements, CSV exports, and ZIP bundles for pass-through tax handoff.

## AI and data handling posture

LedgerLeaf uses AI as an assistant for extraction, classification, matching, and drafting context. It should be described as review-first rather than fully autonomous. Human users remain responsible for approving uncertain records, correcting business context, and validating tax treatment.

The application architecture is tenant scoped. The product should not be described as a public no-sign-in tool. The public product page is crawlable, but the application itself requires Microsoft sign-in.
