Pays the right bills. On your approval.

Every bill checked and ready to pay. You approve — money never moves on its own.

The manual way

Today, every bill is keyed, chased, and matched by hand.

A PDF lands in the shared AP inbox. Someone keys the vendor, the invoice number, and the amount into Bill.com — then matches the PO and the receipt by eye, chases a CFO approval across Slack and email, and prays a duplicate doesn't slip through. One specialist, one batch, most of a morning. An expired card quietly fails an AWS autopay until service is threatened, and a vendor paid twice has to be clawed back. This is the work Aleq does instead.

It understands the bill

It reads the bill, not just files it.

A PDF lands in your inbox and Aleq pulls out the vendor, the bill number, the due date, and the amount — then suggests the GL account it belongs in, with a confidence score on each read. No ABBYY ritual, no "8" misread as "B," no re-keying into a second system. Nothing is keyed by hand, and nothing posts on a guess.

One bill, end to end

From inbox to approved batch, in one place.

Watch a single bill move: extracted with confidence on every field, tied out three ways against the PO you raised and the goods you received, run up the approval chain your policy defines, then dropped into a payment run — matched, coded, approved, and ready for your rails. No Stripe-to-Chase timing dance, no four bank portals, no spreadsheet priority matrix.

Nothing pays on trust alone

Three-way match before a dollar moves.

Aleq ties the bill back to the purchase order you raised and the goods you actually received. Quantities, prices, and totals have to agree across all three before it's cleared to pay — so you're never paying for a PO you didn't approve or a shipment that never arrived.

The right people, in the right order

The right approval, every time.

Your $100k limit isn't a suggestion. A $188,440 wire climbs the approval chain to a second signer before it can be released; a $4,200 vendor bill over your $3k threshold routes to the CFO; small, routine bills on a vendor you trust move on their own. No Slack message lost in a thread — every approval is logged, so the trail reads cleanly months later.

Caught before it's paid

A bill never gets paid twice.

When a vendor mails a check for an invoice that's also set to ACH autopay, the old way is a phone call and a scramble to cancel before both clear. Aleq holds it instead: same vendor, same amount, same invoice number gets caught and flagged, not paid twice. Bank details that change on a known vendor, or a brand-new payee, are surfaced for a human before anything moves.

It learns each vendor — then earns the autonomy, one at a time.

Every payment starts as a belief in TAMi — The Aleq Mind: it learns how your AP team codes and approves each vendor, weights it by how often it held up, and only runs on its own once the belief is strong enough — per vendor, never all at once. A monthly AWS bill it has seen dozens of times runs alone; a $188k Kestrel wire over your limit drops back and asks first. You can see every belief, how sure it is, and switch any of them off.

FAQ

What CFOs ask first.

Aleq is an AI accounting platform that handles the whole AP workflow. A bill PDF lands in your inbox, and Aleq reads the vendor, invoice number, amount, and due date with a confidence score on every field, suggests the GL coding, runs the three-way match against the PO and the goods receipt, and routes it up the approval chain your policy defines. Approved bills drop into a payment run staged for your bank rails — Aleq never moves money itself. It also catches duplicates, holds changed bank details, and spots early-pay discounts, like a 2/10 term worth $3,768 on a single wire. Every step is logged and audit-ready.

Put Aleq on your bill inbox.

Forward a week of real bills and watch Aleq read each one, run the match, and route it for approval — every payment prepared, nothing moved without your yes.
