What is marketplace accounting?
Marketplace accounting is bookkeeping and financial reporting for companies that connect buyers and sellers. It usually means reconciling payout and clearing accounts, keeping the platform's own revenue separate from money passing through to sellers, tracking processor fees and refunds, and reporting burn and runway to investors.
Every entry comes with its reasoning.
Each AI suggestion arrives with its reasoning and confidence. Bills wait for approval before they're paid, schedules wait for sign-off, and nothing changes in a closed period.
