Automatic checking of client explanations costs from €3,000 net. In our scenario it pays back in 1.5 months. Today, handling 1,000 documents by hand costs €2,327 a month. With the system, the same work costs €355. The decision to correct an entry stays with the accountant. The test on your process is free.
Statistics
Accounting firms and AI statistics 2025
30.7%
According to Eurostat (2025), 30.7% of EU enterprises paid for cloud software for finance and accounting.
The team gets back about 57 hours of work a month, or 7 working days, and the company €23,664 a year. We count after the time a person spends checking and after the model cost.
1,000 × 4 min = 66.7 h × €34.90 = €2,327 a month. With the system, a person checks the output in 15% of the old time (€349) and the model costs €6.43. That leaves €355. The saving is €1,972 a month, so €3,000 pays back in 1.5 months.
Assumptions: 4 minutes to check whether a changed explanation affects the entry and checking in 15% of the old time are our assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: reading the document in our case assembly system (about €0.0002) plus describing what is missing (Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 2,000 + 300 tokens), at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.

Questions
How much does automating explanations cost?
From €3,000 net, paid once. After the 5-day test the build takes 2 to 6 weeks. You get a fixed price before the contract: 50% on signing and 50% after acceptance on your own documents.
Will it work with the software we use?
According to the SaldeoSMART help centre, SaldeoSMART has a free API for accounting firm accounts on the Specjalista and Ekspert plans, with operations to list, add and edit documents. Before we quote, we check your version, your licences and how records are saved. If saving is not possible, the system prepares a ready file or a draft for approval.
When does it not pay off?
Below 130 documents a month the payback takes more than a year. Then it is better to start with ChatGPT or Claude for the team, from €1,150 net.
What do we need to prepare?
Examples of documents whose explanation changed after export, and a description of your current flow.
