✦Understanding the purchase…
Because this machine was bought to refurbish and sell, I’ll treat it as stock rather than a normal business expense.

No forms to translate
Give it whatever you’ve got.
A document gives AccountsBud the facts. Your business context gives those facts meaning. That is how a receipt becomes accounting rather than merely extracted text.

It learns your business
Less explaining. More understanding.
AccountsBud remembers useful context — the way purchases, people, jobs and assets work in your business — so the next transaction starts with better understanding.
Bought another machine for £700.
Is this to refurbish and sell, or equipment you’ll use in the business?
Machines like this are normally bought to refurbish and sell.
Bought another one for £850.
I’ll treat this as stock for resale based on how your business normally handles these purchases.
Conversational corrections
Made a mistake? Just tell it.
You shouldn’t need to understand accounting screens or journals to correct your books. AccountsBud identifies the affected transaction and proposes the change for review.
“Actually Adam paid for that personally.”
“That wasn’t advertising. It was packaging.”
“That machine was bought to sell, not use.”

Nothing changes until you review it.
The reason the books matter
Know where your business stands.
Because AccountsBud understands what is happening day to day, you can ask about the business in plain English and get a useful financial view — not just a list of transactions.
