TRUST
AI bookkeeping shouldn't be a black box. In Bonnie, every P&L total opens to the transactions behind it, every action lands in an audit log, and anything ambiguous becomes a question for you — so you can inspect the books instead of taking them on faith.
WHO BENEFITS
WHAT STAYS VISIBLE
BOOKKEEPING EVIDENCE
On your P&L, each line expands to the transactions behind it, with source documents attached where you've provided them. No number is just a number.
The audit log records each categorization and change — the date, who did it, the source, the amount, and the account — and any entry opens to the exact details behind it.
When Bonnie needs your judgment, she asks a narrow question and keeps your answer with the records. Six months later you can still see why something was categorized the way it was.
Open your P&L any time and export to CSV or PDF. Disconnecting a bank never deletes the transactions already in your books — removing history is a separate, explicit choice that's always yours.
PRIVACY QUESTIONS
Financial data deserves careful handling — from any tool, not just Bonnie. Before connecting accounts anywhere, ask: Who can access this data? How are account connections and uploaded documents used? What can I export, and what happens if I disconnect? The FAQ below answers each of those for Bonnie specifically.

FAQ
Bonnie is designed for small-business bookkeeping where source documents, owner review, and focused questions keep the work inspectable — and everything she does is visible in the audit log and expandable P&L. Businesses with complex or heavily regulated books may also need professional support alongside any software.
Three ways you can check yourself: every P&L line expands to its transactions and documents, every action is recorded in the audit log with its source and details, and every ambiguous item becomes a question whose answer stays on the record.
When you connect a bank or card account, Bonnie uses Plaid to make the connection. Plaid handles the bank login step and sends Bonnie the financial data you authorize Bonnie to use for bookkeeping.
You pick the bank or card accounts you want Bonnie to use for bookkeeping.
Plaid securely connects to your financial institution and shares authorized data with Bonnie.
Bonnie stores imported transactions, account labels, last digits, categories, review notes, and an encrypted Plaid access token.
You can disconnect linked accounts in Bonnie. Plaid also provides Plaid Portal for managing Plaid-held data.
Bonnie does not store your bank username or password.
Your books stay intact. Disconnecting stops new imports but never deletes the transactions Bonnie already recorded — your P&L history is preserved. Removing imported history is a separate, explicit action you'd have to choose deliberately.
Who can access the data, how account connections and uploaded documents are used, what you can export, what happens when you disconnect, and whether every automated action is visible somewhere you can check. If a tool can't answer those plainly, that's the answer.
