Bookkeeping · Audit · Hong Kong

Certainty in your books — with a human behind every number.

Certanta is a human-led, AI-assisted bookkeeping, ledger and audit-management service for Hong Kong businesses and the accountants who serve them. AI does the heavy lifting; a real bookkeeper makes sure it's right.

Always audit-ready. Always someone to talk to.

The problem

Bookkeeping in Hong Kong is mostly re-typing.

The work that should take minutes eats weekends — and the mess surfaces at year-end.

1

Manual data entry

Every receipt, invoice and bank line is re-keyed by hand. Hours disappear, and typos slip into the books.

2

Guesswork classification

"Which account does this go to?" Inconsistent coding turns year-end into a clean-up project.

3

The year-end scramble

Records are pulled together only when the audit lands — reconciling twelve months all at once.

4

Disconnected tools

Spreadsheets, PDFs, bank portals and email that don't talk to each other. Nothing is the single source of truth.

The big idea

Upload in bulk. Classified, posted and reconciled — automatically.

Hand over a batch of receipts, invoices and statements. Certanta reads, codes and books each one into a balanced, audit-traceable ledger — so neither you nor an in-house bookkeeper does the data entry.

How it works

From a receipt to an audit-ready entry — in five steps.

1

Bulk upload

Drop in a batch of receipts, invoices and PDF / CSV statements — all at once.

2

AI reads it

Vendor, amount, currency and date are extracted from each document — no fields typed.

3

AI classifies

The right account is suggested from your chart of accounts.

4

Auto-posts

A balanced debit + credit is written to the ledger as true double-entry.

5

Reconciles

Matched against your uploaded statement and flagged audit-ready.

Your only job is step 1. Certanta runs steps 2–5 — checked by a real bookkeeper.

The human difference

A real person behind every number.

We use AI to do the heavy lifting — but people own the outcome. Certanta uses AI; we're not an AI company.

Reviewed by a real bookkeeper

AI reads, codes and reconciles — then a person checks the numbers before they reach your books.

Someone you can actually talk to

Reach a real bookkeeper for questions or guidance — not a chatbot or a ticket queue.

Flexible to how you work

We adapt to your files, your pace and your process — not the other way around.

AI assists, people decide

Automation removes the busywork; the judgment calls stay with people.

One complete system

Not a spreadsheet — a connected system for your books.

Twelve linked modules sharing one ledger — the same architecture running in production today.
