Questions, answered plainly.

What does BeforeNine do for an accountant or bookkeeper?

It handles the client chase and the calendar. Inside Gmail and Calendar it triages client email, chases outstanding documents, drafts client replies, and briefs you on deadlines — and it connects to QuickBooks. It takes the back-office load off so you can do the actual work. Start the same day.

Does it do the books or file taxes?

No, and it won’t claim to. It is not accounting software and it does not prepare returns or replace QuickBooks. It handles the client communication, the document chasing, and the deadlines around your accounting work.

Can it chase clients for missing documents?

Yes — that’s a core automation. It can run a weekly chase of every client with outstanding documents and draft the reminders for your approval, and surface who’s still missing what at month-end.

Does anything send without my approval?

No. Every drafted email and action waits for your one-tap approval.
