Tool Box AI is the instant enterprise upgrade to your existing QuickBooks or Xero. Enable advanced ERP capabilities — workflows, approvals, multi-entity reporting, project accounting, government accounting, audit-ready controls, many more! No rip-and-replace. No six-figure enterprise ERP cost.
QuickBooks and Xero are excellent ledgers. But as finance teams add entities, projects, approval discipline, and governance requirements, they hit a wall — a six-figure enterprise ERP migration, or keep patching spreadsheets? Tool Box AI is the instant enterprise upgrade that sits on top of what you already have.
Intercompany, consolidations, eliminations, and multi-entity reporting start living in spreadsheets — with all the audit exposure that creates.
Email threads, shared drives, and tribal knowledge replace the SoD and audit trail sophisticated buyers expect.
Project accounting, EAC, labor distribution, and indirect rate structures that QuickBooks class tracking was never meant to handle.
Procurement and security reviews ask about access controls, change accountability, and evidence — the small-business stack can't answer cleanly.
Ranges reflect publicly discussed pricing bands across customer forums and industry reporting. Actual pricing varies by user count, modules, and implementation scope.
Three connected capability layers that extend QuickBooks or Xero into a real enterprise finance operating system — without forcing a full ERP migration.
The ERP capabilities QBO and Xero don't ship — added without a migration.
The control evidence sophisticated buyers, auditors, and procurement expect.
Live-ledger reporting with the lineage leadership can defend in any review.
See exactly what you get — and what you save.
