Documentation

Everything your firm needs to deploy, configure, and operate Folio AI — from onboarding your first client through advanced integration and self-hosted operations.

Getting started

Quick start

Provision your firm, invite reviewers, upload your first document, and watch it land in QuickBooks — in under 30 minutes.

Inviting clients

Send a client a magic-link upload portal. They drop receipts and invoices; your team reviews. No client login required.

Configuring providers

Pick your preferred AI extraction provider (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Ollama) plus a fallback for low-confidence retries.

Workflows

Review queue

How confidence thresholds, exception routing, and approver roles interact. Setting auto-publish safely.

Supplier rules

Per-firm learned rules for vendor → account code mapping, tax-code overrides, and SR&ED auto-flagging.

Fixed-asset register

CCA class assignment, half-year rule, Accelerated Investment Incentive, and disposal events.

SR&ED tagging

Project codes, T661 export, ITC estimates by entity type, audit-trail retention.

Tax slips

T4, T5, T3, T4A, RL-1, and 8 more — extracted directly to CRA box numbers, ready for filing or sync.

QuickBooks sync

Bills, expenses, journal entries, attachments, and reconciliation. Resolving sync conflicts.

Operations

User & role management

Firm admin, reviewer, client uploader. RBAC enforced at every API route.

Audit log

Append-only, hash-chained, 7-year retention. Exporting for CRA review or internal audit.

Backups & DR

35-day point-in-time recovery, ca-west-1 cross-region replication, quarterly restore drills.

Self-hosted ops

Docker compose, Kubernetes Helm chart, env-var reference, and upgrade runbook.

Customer access

Full guides, runbooks, and the OpenAPI reference are available in the customer portal once your trial is provisioned.
