Nalo for Firms
Because you still check every line. Nalo books on its own only inside a hard bound — small, pattern-backed expenses, capped at $200, never income — tells you plainly when it isn’t sure, and hands you the exceptions instead of a pile you have to re-verify.
We’re onboarding a small number of firms as design partners.
Automated categorization is confidently wrong often enough that you check everything anyway. So the hours come back, plus the hours spent finding what it broke.
The industry has a name for the damage: phantom data. Transactions that look correct but sit in the wrong account, duplicated, or misclassified. Nothing errors. The books balance. The reports are just quietly wrong, and you find out at tax time.
That’s the failure Nalo is designed around. Not speed. Certainty.
A deterministic rule, a pattern you confirmed, or a small high-confidence expense backed by that client’s own history — capped at $200, never income. Everything else is flagged and waits for a person. There is no confidence score for you to interpret, and your first correction retrains every matching row.
Choose “Always” once and Nalo remembers how that client codes it. The Zelle to a contractor. The Amazon that’s COGS rather than supplies. What you teach on one client’s books never leaks into another’s.
Amounts outside a vendor’s settled range. The same payee coded four different ways. Same-day duplicates. Every finding shows the check that produced it and the transactions behind it, so you’re reviewing rather than re-verifying.
Nobody hands a machine their client’s books on day one, and we’d be worried about anyone who did.
So run it alongside what you do now. Nalo codes the month, you code the month, and it shows you exactly where the two disagree. You keep working the way you already work, and after a few weeks you’ll know precisely how much of it you can stop checking.
Every correction you teach makes it better at that client. That’s the point of the first month.
Biggest dollars first. Findings are ranked by what they’re worth, so twenty minutes never goes to a twelve-dollar variance before a twelve-hundred-dollar one.
Auto-booking has a hard bound. Nalo may book a small, pattern-backed expense on its own — under $200, high confidence, never income. Everything past that bound waits for your confirmation, and Nalo never writes to QuickBooks at all.
Every finding is traceable. The check that fired, the rule behind it, and the transactions underneath. Nothing is a black box you have to take on faith.
Nalo reads the client’s bank feed directly through Plaid — no QuickBooks Online subscription required to evaluate. Coming from QuickBooks Desktop? Send us a standard Transaction Detail export and we load it with you during the evaluation month; self-serve import is in development.
You tell Nalo which QuickBooks cash account matches which bank feed. Suggestions are clues only; nothing pairs until you confirm it. No evidence, no guess.
You keep working exactly the way you work now. Nalo codes the same month beside you, from the same bank activity, on its own.
Month by month, disagreements first, biggest dollars first. Rows that can’t be fairly compared are separated under their own heading with the reason — never mixed into the count.
Each row shows the evidence behind Nalo’s call and links to the underlying transactions. Where you’re right and it’s wrong, you’ve measured it honestly. After a few weeks you know precisely how much checking you can retire.
Nalo never writes to your ledger, your categories, or QuickBooks. The one thing it asks you to confirm is which accounts to compare.
First: what happens to your ledger? Some tools replace it and become the system of record — powerful, but leaving means migrating again. Others overlay inside it. Nalo runs beside your books and syncs QuickBooks Online read-only, so evaluating it risks nothing and leaving costs nothing.
Second: will they tell you the price? As of August 2026, Nalo is the only tool in this category we know of that publishes both its per-client firm pricing and a free parallel-run evaluation month. We keep sourced comparisons with the main alternatives — including where they beat us — because required trust is worthless.

Their prices, published on their own sites and checked 9 August 2026. QuickBooks Online Plus is $115–140 per company per month depending on renewal date; Keeper’s Plus plan is $25 per client per month. Both sit alongside each other because neither replaces the other — Keeper reviews the ledger QuickBooks keeps. Prices are theirs and can change.
$100 per client. Nothing else.
If you’d rather just tell us what’s wrong with this, that’s genuinely more useful right now than a signup.
