How accurate is HelloBooks AI transaction categorization?

HelloBooks auto-categorizes transactions at 95%+ accuracy, combining AI, your historical coding, custom vendor rules, document matching, and payee detection. Every suggestion carries a confidence score, and anything ambiguous waits for your review instead of posting silently.

Does the AI learn my chart of accounts and vendors?

Yes. The categorizer applies categories from your past transactions, remembers your corrections, and lets you set custom rules for frequent vendors — so the same vendor is never re-asked and accuracy improves the more you use it.

Is AI categorization included on the Free Plan?

Yes. Categorization draws from the shared AI credit wallet — the Free Plan includes 2,500 AI credits to get started for up to 2 users, with no credit card. Pro includes 15,000 credits to get started plus unlimited users.

Can I review and undo AI categorizations?

Yes. Changes queue in a review screen where you can approve in bulk, discard, or recategorize — and every change is captured in the audit trail, so your accountant can see exactly what was posted and why.

Where do categorized transactions go next?

Confirmed categorizations post to your ledger and flow into bank reconciliation, tax returns, and reports automatically. You can also approve high-value categorizations from Slack, WhatsApp, or email using the connected AI assistant.
