Automatic Processing

Thred handles: Double-entry bookkeeping - Every transaction creates balanced journal entries using the chart of accounts. Account categorization - Transactions automatically post to correct accounts based on transaction type and business context. AR/AP tracking - Outstanding balances calculated automatically from invoices, bills, and payments. Tax calculations - VAT/sales tax extracted and tracked per jurisdiction rules. Reconciliation - Bank transactions match to invoices and bills using AI-powered matching.
