Autonomous back-office execution

Stop running your back office.
Let Backline run it.

Give it one goal — "keep our invoices, payroll, and renewals always right" — and it takes over. It monitors Stripe, QuickBooks, email, and payroll. It chases missing documents. It drafts the vendor message, the renewal reminder, the follow-up to the client who hasn't paid. It keeps a single live ledger of who owes what and when.

The problem: complexity is outpacing human review capacity

A 20-person company running Stripe, QuickBooks, a payroll tool, and a contract management system generates hundreds of state changes per month that no one is systematically watching.

Late invoices extend DSO. Missed renewals are silent churn. Unsigned contracts stall revenue. These aren't edge cases — they're the default outcome when back-office coordination is fragmented across Slack threads and spreadsheets with no owner who is always on.

Invoice chases

Current state: Manual Slack reminders

Cost: Days of delay

Renewal tracking

Current state: Spreadsheet + memory

Cost: Silent churn

Ledger reconciliation

Current state: Weekly batch review

Cost: Compounding errors

Backline closes the loop automatically

It doesn't alert you and wait. It handles it. Missed renewals, late invoices, and silent churn stop being "I forgot" failures. They become machine-handled edge cases.

Continuous monitoring

Watches Stripe, QuickBooks, email, payroll, and contracts 24/7. No manual check-ins required.

→New invoice created → tracked until paid

→Renewal date approaching → reminder drafted

→Stripe payout received → reconciled in QuickBooks

Autonomous execution

Drafts the vendor message, sends the invoice chase, flags the discrepancy. Closes loops without human input.

→Client 30 days overdue → chase email sent

→Missing W9 from vendor → follow-up drafted

→Payroll mismatch detected → alert + resolution path

Single source of truth

Maintains one live ledger of who owes what and when. No more hunting across systems.

→Real-time AR aging report

→Upcoming renewals dashboard

→Discrepancy log with auto-fix history

The wedge

We enter through your highest-pain loop

Backline starts with one high-frequency, high-pain loop: invoices out, payments in, discrepancies chased, ledger current — automatically, across the tools you already use.

Why this wedge works

Pain is universal

Every founder who has missed a renewal or chased a late invoice manually has felt this. No education required.

First win is fast

A late invoice gets chased without you touching it. A renewal gets flagged before it lapses. Visible impact within 48 hours.

No rip-and-replace

Connects to Stripe, QuickBooks, and email. You keep your stack. Backline coordinates it.

Then we expand

Once the first loop is running reliably, Backline expands to the rest of your back office:

→Payroll reconciliation & discrepancy detection

→Contract renewals & vendor management

→Spend tracking & budget alerts

→Multi-entity consolidation

But the wedge is narrow on purpose — own continuous invoice and payment execution before any incumbent realizes the segment is worth taking.

Built for founders and ops leads at 5–50 person companies

You're at the stage where the business is real enough to have financial complexity but not big enough to have a finance team watching it.

You've discovered a missed renewal after the client already churned. You've chased the same invoice three times over two weeks. You've found a payroll discrepancy on a Friday afternoon. You're currently solving this with a combination of Slack reminders, spreadsheets, a part-time bookkeeper, and your own memory — and you know that system is fragile.

You know Backline is for you if:

✓You run a 5–50 person company with recurring revenue, contracts, and invoices

✓You use Stripe, QuickBooks, a payroll tool, and email — but no one is watching them systematically

✓You've lost money or time to a missed renewal, late invoice, or silent discrepancy in the last quarter

✓You're paying $2k–$6k/month for a part-time bookkeeper or VA to do this work manually

✓You want the first loop closed within 48 hours, not a six-month enterprise implementation
