Automating Exact Online: AI booking and bank matching

How to automate pre-accounting in Exact Online: AI booking proposals, bank matching, reconciliation, client questions and VAT analysis from one environment.

Sebastian de Goeij 8 min read Updated

Short answer

You automate Exact Online by connecting Autoboeker as a pre-accounting layer: invoices and receipts are recognised, booked automatically above your confidence threshold, and bank transactions are matched and reconciled. Exact Online has the broadest support of all connected ledgers, including VAT analysis and reports. Your team keeps working in Exact Online.

Key takeaways

  • Exact Online is the only connected ledger with VAT analysis, reports and a VAT overview in the client dashboard.
  • AI bank matching and automatic reconciliation work with Exact Online, at a threshold you set.
  • Autoboeker syncs GL accounts, VAT codes, relations, journals, bank transactions and cost centres.
  • Connecting takes minutes; then you automate in phases per administration.

How do you automate processing in Exact Online?

You automate processing in Exact Online by connecting a pre-accounting layer that recognises, codes and writes back documents. Autoboeker reads master data and history from Exact Online, recognises the supplier, amounts, VAT, GL account and cost centre without templates, and prepares a booking proposal with a confidence score and an explanation. Above the confidence threshold you set, Autoboeker books into Exact Online on its own.

Below it, the booking stays a proposal for your team to review. You choose per firm or per administration how far automation goes: suggestions only, smart confirmation where you only look at deviations, or fully automatic booking at high confidence. Every correction you make is taken into account in later proposals. Exact Online stays in charge of GL accounts, relations and bookings.

Which Autoboeker features work with Exact Online?

With Exact Online every Autoboeker feature is available, including the ones other ledgers lack. Those are AI bank matching with automatic reconciliation, VAT analysis and reports, and the VAT overview in the client dashboard. VAT analysis and the VAT overview are currently available for Exact Online only, not for Twinfield, SnelStart or e-Boekhouden.

On top of that, everything that applies to every connected ledger works too: AI recognition, automatic booking, administration rules and global rules, approval before and after booking, client questions, the configuration monitor, audit logs and team statistics. The VAT checks, such as the VIES check on VAT numbers and flags for deviating VAT codes and VAT amounts, also work with Exact Online.

What does Autoboeker sync with Exact Online?

Autoboeker syncs GL accounts, VAT codes, relations, journals, bank transactions and cost centres with Exact Online. Together with the administration's historical bookings, that master data is the context for every booking proposal. As a result, Autoboeker proposes a GL account and VAT code based on how the administration was booked before, rather than on fixed positions on a PDF.

Because the sync runs continuously, the firm and the client work with current figures without exports. New suppliers can be created automatically as relations, and existing relations are recognised and linked. The result of processing is written back to Exact Online, so the administration there stays complete. The configuration monitor shows which administrations are still missing settings or connections.

How do bank matching and reconciliation work in Exact Online?

Bank matching in Exact Online works by syncing bank transactions and matching them with invoices and bookings on amount, reference, IBAN, relation and date. Every match gets a confidence score. Above your threshold Autoboeker reconciles automatically; below it, the match waits as a proposal. Deviating amounts and unclear items are flagged instead of being booked silently.

Matching also recognises partial payments, credit notes, payment arrangements, recurring payments, foreign currencies and PayPal payments. If Autoboeker finds no match, the transaction becomes a client question. The answer, such as an uploaded receipt, is analysed, booked and matched. That leaves fewer unexplained bank lines at the end of the period.

How do you connect Exact Online to Autoboeker?

You connect Exact Online from Autoboeker in a few minutes and then choose which administrations take part. You need an Exact Online account with access to the administrations you want to connect, and an Autoboeker account on the Firm or Large firm plan. You don't have to move every administration at once; starting with a few clients is common.

After connecting, Autoboeker learns from the history and master data of each administration. Then you increase automation step by step, from suggestions to fully automatic booking. During the free onboarding you set up rules, thresholds and the client portal together, with periodic check-ins to fine-tune. The plan can be cancelled monthly, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
