Ocriva for Accounting & Finance

Cut Document Key-In Time by 80% with AI


Pain Points in the Accounting Industry

Accounting firms, audit firms, and finance departments everywhere face the same problems:

  • Manual key-in every day — Invoices, receipts, and tax invoices must be typed one by one, consuming an enormous amount of time
  • Transcription errors — A single digit mistake throws off an entire set of financial statements, requiring time-consuming back-tracking to find the error
  • Documents in every format — Clients send PDFs, photos, and low-quality scans, forcing staff to manually read each one
  • No audit trail — No visibility into who entered what, when, or what was changed — making retrospective review extremely difficult
  • Staff time consumed by routine work — Time that should be spent on financial analysis or client advisory gets eaten up by data entry

How Ocriva Solves These Problems

Step 1 — Create Templates for Accounting Documents

Define the fields you need to extract once, then reuse them indefinitely:

FieldExample Validation
Invoice numberMust match format (e.g., INV-YYYYMMDD-XXXX)
Document dateMust be a valid date
Vendor nameText field
Line itemsLine items list
Subtotal (before VAT)Must be numeric, 2 decimal places
VAT 7%Must be numeric, validated against subtotal
Grand totalMust equal subtotal + VAT

AI extracts data according to the defined fields and flags values immediately if they fail validation — reducing errors before they reach the accountant.

Step 2 — Batch Upload Documents Together

  • Collect up to 50 documents (or more) and upload them all at once
  • AI processes them in parallel — every document at the same time
  • Monitor processing status in real-time — know instantly which documents succeeded and which need review
  • No waiting for each file one by one, no watching the screen

Step 3 — Export Directly into Your Accounting System

Choose the integration method that fits your firm's workflow:

  • CSV Export — Import directly into Express, SAP, QuickBooks, or Xero without re-typing anything
  • Webhook → Zapier / Make — Push data automatically into Google Sheets when AI finishes processing
  • REST API — Connect directly to your ERP or internal systems
  • LINE Integration — Let clients photograph receipts and send them via LINE; data flows into the system automatically

Every processing run has a complete audit trail — who uploaded which file, when, who reviewed it, and what the result was.


ROI Calculation

Assuming an accounting firm handles 500 documents per month:

Before OcrivaAfter Ocriva
Time per document~3 minutes (key-in + review)~30 seconds (upload + review)
Total time / month25 hours (≈ 3 working days)4.2 hours
Time saved~21 hours / month
Error rateHigh (human data entry)Low (AI + validation rules)

21 hours per month = time staff can redirect to financial analysis, client advisory, or taking on additional work.

Ocriva cost: Starting at ฿729/month — compared to the labour cost of 21 hours saved, it is clearly more cost-effective than hiring someone to key in data.
