The approver decides
Put an approval step before a bill is posted or a payment is sent. The run waits for whoever owns the decision, and carries on once they approve or reject it.
Finance
From inbox to ledger. Approved by you.
Lodol reads the bills that land in your inbox, writes them to QuickBooks or Xero, gets the right person's sign-off and sends the month's reports, using the bank, the cards and the tools you already run. Nothing moves until a person says so.
Free to start, no credit card. Unlimited seats, and no per-invoice or per-payment fees.

Fits your stack
Keep your ledger and your bank. Automate what's between them.
No platform to move your spend into and nothing to migrate. Lodol works between the tools your finance team already pays for, and leaves every decision with a person.
Bills arrive
Invoices are read the moment they land, and filed where your team can find them.
Books get updated
Bills, invoices and journal entries written to your ledger, after the checks you set.
Money moves
Bank and card activity picked up, and payments sent through Mercury once approved.
Someone signs off
Approvers get a Slack or Teams message, and nothing moves until they answer.
Reports go out
P&L by cost center and weekly revenue, sent before anyone has to ask.
940 apps and 11,056 actions in all, and a workflow can call any other tool’s API directly, so nothing has to move for Lodol to fit in.

Lodol or a finance platform?
Ramp, BILL and Stampli are platforms you move your payables and spend into, and they are very good at it. Here is how they compare with Lodol on what a finance team weighs.

If you want one platform that issues cards and pays your vendors, Ramp, BILL and Stampli are built for that. If you'd rather keep the tools you already pay for and automate the work between them, with a person signing off before anything moves, that is Lodol. It connects to BILL and Brex too.

In control
Nothing moves until you say so.
Any step can stop and wait for the person who owns the decision. Every run is on the record, and every change to a workflow can be undone.
Roll back to what worked
Every edit is a version. Open any one to see what changed, and restore it in a click.
Decide who can do what
Owner, admin or member, per person. Running, editing and managing are separate permissions, and Pro adds an activity audit log you can export.
See exactly what happened
Every run is traced step by step, with timings, so when the auditor asks where a bill came from, the answer is one click away.
Ready to run
Start from one that already works.
Built and tested by our team for the work that fills a finance team's month. Open one, connect your apps, and it runs.
MonthlyMonthly P&L report for each cost center
On the 3rd of each month, turns last month's transactions in your sheet into a P&L for each cost center, with AI commentary.
A month with no transactions stops with an error instead of sending a report that looks like a quiet month.
Open this workflowWeeklyWeekly revenue up-or-down email
Every Monday, totals last week's revenue from your sheet, says if it is up or down on the week before, and explains a rise.
Explains a rise from the rows behind it, and never guesses at why revenue fell.
Open this workflowOn new emailFile emailed documents and log what they say
Files every document that arrives by email into Box and records what it says as a row on your register.
A field the document doesn't carry is left empty, never guessed. Nothing is filed twice.
Open this workflowManualTurn receipts and invoices into expense rows
Reads each receipt or invoice you link, pulls out supplier, date, total and tax, and adds a row to your expenses sheet.
Refuses to guess a figure. A receipt it can't read goes to a 'Needs review' tab with the reason.
Open this workflow
ManualTurn a price list into Stripe payment links
Creates every product in your price list in Stripe and records its shareable payment link on a tab, never twice.
A price above your ceiling is skipped, so a typo can't go on sale. Nothing is published twice.
Open this workflow
ManualWrite research notes from a company filing
Reads a company filing you supply and writes notes on what it says - segments, risks, management commentary - into a Google Doc.
Only what the filing states, with what it leaves unsaid. A topic it doesn't cover gets no notes, not invented ones.
Open this workflowQuestions finance teams ask first
No, and it doesn't need to. Lodol isn't a bank or a payments platform: it doesn't issue cards or pay vendors on its own. It automates the work between the tools you already run, like reading bills from the inbox, writing them to QuickBooks or Xero, asking the right person to approve, and sending payments through your provider, such as Mercury, once they do. If you already use BILL or Brex, Lodol connects to both.
QuickBooks Online most deeply, with 79 actions and triggers for new bills, invoices, payments, vendors and customers. Xero, Zoho Books, Wave, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo and ERPNext are in the catalog too.
Yes. Any step can pause the run and wait for a person's answer, and the run carries on with what they decide. Every run is recorded step by step, every change to a workflow is saved as a version you can roll back, and Pro adds an activity audit log you can export.
As accurate as the model behind it and the checks you add. AI steps run on the Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini model you choose, on your own key, and Enterprise customers can have a model fine-tuned on their own data. What the templates add is care: a value that can't be read is left blank and flagged rather than guessed, and a person can approve anything before it's posted.
Credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest. Roles decide who can run, edit and manage each workflow, every run is recorded step by step, and Pro adds an activity audit log you can export. AI steps run on your own model key, under your provider's terms.
Free includes 200 runs a month. Builder starts at $18 a month for 2,500 runs and Pro at $120 for 10,000, and every plan has unlimited seats. A run counts once, however many steps it takes. There's no charge per invoice, payment or user. AI steps are billed by your model provider at its own rates.
Start with the bills inbox.
Open the filing workflow, point it at the inbox your bills arrive in, and add the QuickBooks steps when you're ready. Free to start, no credit card.
