The challenge
Lumen's monthly close had slipped from three days to nearly two weeks. Their in-house bookkeeper was drowning in receipt coding, and management reporting arrived too late to be useful.
The solution
Lumen connected Xero and their Gmail shared inbox in under an hour. The agent now codes every bill and receipt on arrival and posts to the review queue. Their bookkeeper spends her day approving exceptions instead of typing.
The outcome
Close completes in a day. Coding accuracy sits at 94% on first pass, and the founder sees P&L the morning after month-end instead of two weeks later.
“Closed the month in a day instead of a week. I haven't touched a manual receipt since we switched.”
