Forward a bill, an invoice or a bank statement to pagesift. It reads every line and sends the numbers to your accounting system — already in the right shape. Before it does, it adds everything up and checks. If something doesn't add up, it tells you. It never quietly guesses.
Plenty of software will read your invoice and hand you a number with something like “93% confident” next to it. But that's the software marking its own homework. It's telling you how sure it feels — not whether the number is actually right.
So pagesift does what a good bookkeeper does. It adds it up. Do the lines add to the subtotal? Does the subtotal plus GST make the total on the page? If the document's own numbers agree with each other, that's not a feeling. That's proof.
The lines added to the subtotal. The subtotal plus GST hit the total, right down to the cent. The numbers on the page prove themselves — so nobody needs to look at this one. It just goes.
Either the sums didn't work, or the document simply didn't give us enough to check. Both land on your desk, with the problem pointed out — the page on one side, the numbers on the other. Fix it in seconds.
And that's the whole list. There's no “probably fine”. If we couldn't genuinely check a document, we don't pretend we did — we ask you. It's the boring, careful answer, and it's the only one worth having when it's your books.
You get your own email address for documents the day you start. After that there's nothing to learn and nothing to click.
Forward the PDF to your own pagesift address — or drag it onto the page. You can give the address to your suppliers and let the bills arrive on their own. Nothing to install.
We work out whether it's an invoice, a statement or something else, and read every line off the page. Then we do the sums, the way you'd do them with a calculator if you had the time.
Documents that check out arrive in your accounting system, as a spreadsheet, or in a folder — laid out exactly the way that system expects. The rest wait for you, with the problem already pointed out.
When a bill checks out, send it straight to your system. When it doesn't, it waits for you — and the moment you've fixed it, it carries on by itself, from exactly where it stopped.
It'll wait as long as it takes. Park something on a Friday, sort it out on the Monday, and the rest happens without you pressing a thing. One rule handles both the good days and the awkward ones.
If your server's down, it tries again. Every attempt is written down.
Everything here is built and running. Nothing on these pages is a plan.
Your own address for documents, what happens to a PDF once it lands, and what you actually do when it asks you something.
Have a lookThe money, the line items and the GST numbers all fail differently. The three ways we catch them — and why a document is never marked fine unless a real check ran.
Have a lookWhen this happens, do that. Rules that send documents where they need to go — and that wait patiently for you when one needs a person.
Have a lookYour system wants its own columns, in its own order, with its own names. Tell us the shape once and everything arrives that way.
Have a lookThese are your bills, your bank statements and your clients' books. How they're looked after — in plain terms, and without a wall of badges.
Have a lookThree real documents that broke the obvious rules — a GST total a cent off and still correct, labour that doesn't multiply out, and a wrong number that passed every sum.
Have a lookHonestly, that's the fastest way to judge this. Pick a document you already know the right answer to, and we'll show you what comes back — and what it flags. No commitment, no setup.
Pricing depends on how many documents you get and what kind. Tell us roughly what you're dealing with and we'll give you a straight answer.
