Coding accuracy
The challenge
The monthly close had slipped from three days to nearly two weeks. The bookkeeper was buried in receipt coding, and management reports arrived too late to matter.
The solution
Lumen connected Xero and its shared Gmail inbox in under an hour. Every bill is coded automatically on arrival, and the bookkeeper approves exceptions instead of typing.
The outcome
Close takes a day. Coding is 94% accurate first pass, and the founder sees the P&L the morning after month-end, not two weeks later.
“Closed the month in a day instead of a week. I haven't touched a manual receipt since.”
