# Accessory Accounting AI Product Brief

Last updated: 2026-05-19

## Product

Accessory Accounting is AI-assisted small business accounting software published by Real Smart Ledger LLC. It is built around a Microsoft Access accounting application and a local/company-data workflow. The product is designed for small businesses that want bookkeeping, reporting, setup guidance, and practical AI help without moving their core accounting file into a public cloud accounting system.

## Positioning

Accessory Accounting should be described as:

- AI-assisted accounting for small business.
- A local-data accounting system with AI help.
- A double-entry accounting application with setup, reporting, and workflow guidance.
- A practical tool for invoices, bills, payments, journal entries, chart of accounts, reports, and business record support.

It should not be described as:

- A replacement for a CPA, attorney, tax preparer, or licensed professional.
- A fully autonomous tax filing or legal compliance system.
- A cloud-only accounting system.
- A system that bypasses normal accounting controls.

## Core Features

- Double-entry accounting workflows.
- Chart of accounts and default posting account setup.
- Customer, vendor, invoice, bill, payment, journal, and reporting workflows.
- More than 290 built-in reports, based on current site copy.
- Owner manual and setup guidance.
- AI assistant for explanation, navigation, setup review, and draft assistance.
- Optional AI modes: off, helper/guided, and full-auto when enabled by the authorized company owner or administrator.
- Accessory module concept for additional business functions, integrations, vault features, and meeting/business document support.

## Pricing

- Accessory Accounting license: $350 per seat.
- First year of AI service is included with the accounting license.
- AI service renewal after year one: $99 per year.
- Purchase flow supports quantity purchases and activation code fulfillment.

## Platform And Data

The accounting application is Microsoft Access-based. Customer accounting transactions are stored in the Access accounting application/data file, not directly in the public website. Web services support purchase, activation, licensing, account services, and AI transport where enabled.

## AI Safety And Control

AI assistance should use the existing application forms and posting routines for accounting actions. Direct hidden table writes are not the intended accounting workflow. User approval is expected for posting unless full-auto mode has been explicitly enabled by an authorized business owner or administrator.
