Paper checks stop being the worst day.

Payee. Amount. Spelled-out words. Conto reads all three on every check and matches each image to its statement line. An afternoon of squinting becomes a quick review. It reads check registers, too. What are those? You don't want to know. Your messiest client keeps one anyway.

Every number, defensible.

Click any transaction and the check image opens with the payee, amount, and date highlighted. Every line ties to a source. The audit trail is the product.

Off the back-office server.

Every statement, check, and export is encrypted, backed up, and walled off from every other firm, in the cloud instead of on the server in your closet. Your team reaches it from wherever they work.

Imports clean into QuickBooks & Excel.

IIF and QBO for Desktop. QBO for Online. XLSX otherwise. Tested against Intuit's own spec, so your import doesn't break the client's books.

Stop re-checking what's already right.

Conto codes what it's sure of. Groups the rest by vendor. One decision clears twelve ADP payments. Spot-check, don't re-key.

One odd charge, not a stuck client.

One odd charge used to hold a whole client hostage. Park it in Ask My Client, send the client one question, and export the rest to QuickBooks today.
