Most business owners lack a finance team, often having only a vague idea of their monthly income, a collection of receipts, and a constant worry about the true state of their finances. When questioned about gross margin or cash runway, they usually provide only an educated guess. Tyms, an AI-native accounting platform serving businesses in Africa, North America, and Europe, has introduced a solution that centralizes this information.
Now, customers can link their books directly to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, enabling them to ask questions and receive answers directly from their live books. The product relies on the Tyms MCP server, which operates on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard allowing AI assistants to securely connect to external systems without the need for installation.
Once connected, business owners can access their accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, expenses, income, inventory, and financial reports like balance sheets, profit and loss, cash flow, trial balance, and ledgers. The level of access can range from read-only to read and write, with every write action requiring confirmation in the chat before it is reflected in the books.
This feature is crucial for finance teams considering adopting the platform, as access is scoped through OAuth to one specific business, and API keys never pass through the AI assistants. The platform holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 report, ensuring data security for accountants and bookkeepers managing multiple clients.
Tyms, founded by Ibrahim Adepoju, is an AI-native accounting platform designed for growing businesses, combining full double-entry accounting with its AI accounting agent, Adam. Adam handles bookkeeping, reconciliation, and reporting, allowing users to ask questions and receive answers using plain language. The platform is already live for existing Tyms customers, offering a convenient solution to compress routine work and provide more time for advisory tasks.
