Your AI agent buys it — so who keeps the receipt? Meta's Muse went to the top of the App Store within days of launch, and Amazon blocked it two weeks after that.

Give your employees, CPA, or bookkeeper secure, role-based access to your books without handing over a password. Synceipt's Pro and Pro Plus plans cover both: Advisor Access, a purpose-built way to loop in a CPA or bookkeeper without making them a team member, and team sharing for employees, each with their own private login.
