Connect your firm stack to Digits—New partnerships with: Ignition, Karbon, Reach Reporting.
The best accounting platform for modern firms.
AI is the foundation. Digits is AI-native from day one, powered by the Agentic General Ledger™ and trained on 170M+ real transactions to continuously book, reconcile, and review the ledger.
AI layered onto legacy workflows. Intuit Assist supports existing QuickBooks workflows, while posting, reconciliation, and close remain user-driven and plan-dependent.
AI assistance added to traditional workflows. Xero combines bank rules with AI-powered suggestions, with accountants reviewing and confirming transactions before finalizing.
Rules-based automation enhanced by AI. Puzzle combines configurable and AI-learned rules to automate bookkeeping, reconciliation, and close workflows.
Powered by the Agentic General Ledger™. AGL® is Digits' accounting-specific AI model architecture for accounting, with tiered intelligence that learns from firm standards, historical decisions, and review patterns to improve automation across every client.
Intuit Assist adds AI across QuickBooks, but public materials don't describe a domain-specific accounting model or firm-trained accounting AI.
Xero includes AI across selected workflows, but public materials don't describe a domain-specific accounting model or firm-trained accounting AI.
Puzzle uses AI throughout bookkeeping and close workflows, but public materials don't describe a domain-specific accounting model or firm-trained accounting AI.
AI automatically categorizes 95%+ of routine transactions. In benchmarking, Digits achieved 97.8% transaction categorization accuracy, outperforming every frontier AI model evaluated.
Bank rules, automation, and Intuit Assist help categorize transactions, but Intuit doesn't publish transaction categorization accuracy or benchmark results.
Bank rules and JAX help categorize transactions, but Xero doesn't publish transaction categorization accuracy or benchmark results.
AI automatically categorizes 90-95% of routine transactions using AI and rules, but Puzzle doesn't publish transaction categorization accuracy or benchmark results.
AI reconciles bank activity as transactions arrive. Digits continuously and automatically matches, reconciles, and finalizes bank reconciliations, with exceptions ready for review before they become a month-end backlog.
Reconciliation follows traditional month-end workflows, with AI assisting transaction review as part of the close process.
JAX helps match transactions during reconciliation, but reconciliation remains a traditional month-end workflow.
AI matches bank activity and pre-drafts reconciliations for accountant review during close.
Schedules live directly in the ledger. Digits auto-detects and drafts schedules for accountant review. One approved by an accountant, Digits auto-generates the recurring journal entries.
Supports accrual accounting through traditional accounting workflows and recurring journal entries.
Supports accrual accounting through standard workflows, with schedules typically managed in an external tool or workbook.

Financials update as the ledger updates. Financial statements, dashboards, and KPIs refresh as AI books transactions, reconciles, and reviews the ledger, so firms don't wait for month-end to see accurate financials.
Reports reflect posted transactions throughout the month, but accuracy depends on completing reconciliation and month-end workflows.
Real-time reporting is available, though financial statements depend on traditional bookkeeping and reconciliation workflows.
Financial statements update as transactions are processed, with AI Close helping improve reporting accuracy during month-end.
Write Quality Control checks in plain English. Digits then turns them into deterministic checks that run the same way across current and historical books, and surfaces exceptions in the Checklist. No hallucinations.

Review is configured through reports, Workpapers, Practice Manager workflows, templates, and firm-defined review processes.
Custom review workflows are configured through AI Close prompts and reusable AI tasks, with findings routed for accountant review.
Agentic Close brings the accounting work together in the ledger. AI transaction automation, continuous reconciliation, Quality Control, and schedules continuously advance the close, shifting month-end tedium to exception review.

Accounting software should do more than keep the books. Compare reporting, collaboration, client onboarding, firm operations, and the tools that help teams scale.
One dashboard for every client. The Firm Dashboard shows clients, open Checklist items, filters, search, and accounts that need attention, with badges updating as work is resolved.

The future isn't number crunching—it's running the tools that do. That's why I use and love Digits.
Digits is moving from tedious categorizing to quality control—so my weekly bookkeeping is review, not data entry.
Started fresh, let Digits do a bank download, and did two years of books in four hours. Wow.
Digits uses proprietary accounting AI inside the ledger, with company, global, and firm models included in Core Plus. Xero and QBO use AI features across their accounting and firm tools, while Puzzle markets AI accounting and AI close workflows. The key difference is whether AI is built into the ledger and firm model or layered across connected workflows.
Digits Core Plus includes Agentic Close with Advanced Quality Review Agent. Firms can describe checks in plain English, and Digits turns them into deterministic checks that run consistently across the books. Xero and QBO support review through accounting workflows, workpapers, reports, anomaly detection, and firm tools. Puzzle supports AI close and review workflows, with packaging depending on the plan or firm setup.
Digits Agentic Close automates reconciliation, Quality Control checks, schedules, and scheduled reporting in one firm bundle. QBO’s month-end close workflow is built around Accountant Suite and Books Close. Xero firms may rely on Practice Manager, Workpapers, and the firm process.
