Stop Spending 6 Hours on Invoice Approval

70 invoices. 2 board signers. Currently takes most of a day.

Karen cuts it to 30 minutes.

Board presidents and treasurers lose thousands of hours every year to manual invoice review. Karen's Smart Invoice Queue handles the paperwork while you handle what matters.

No credit card required. Set up in 30 minutes.

The Invoice Approval Problem Nobody Talks About

Your board processes 70+ invoices per month. Here's what that looks like today:

  1. Treasurer sends batch to Strongroom
  2. You and co-signer manually review each PDF invoice
  3. Check vendor (is this real?), amount (does this make sense?), math (is it correct?)
  4. Approve or flag
  5. Repeat 70 times

Total time: 6-8 hours

Total value added: Mostly catching duplicates and math errors that shouldn't happen in the first place.

Meanwhile:

  • Vendors wait 3-4 weeks for payment (net-15 becomes net-45)
  • You lose your Saturday afternoon
  • Board members burn out on administrative work instead of making actual decisions
  • Fraud risks go undetected (AI-generated fake invoices look real)

Get Your Weekends Back

Current:

6 hours per batch x 10-12 batches/year = 60-96 hours/year

With Karen:

30 minutes per batch = 5-6 hours/year

That's 50-90 hours back in your life. What would you do with that time?

(More board decisions. Less administrative drudgery.)

Pay Vendors On Time (Finally)

Current:

Net-15 payment terms become net-45 reality because invoices sit in approval queue

With Karen:

Invoices approved in 30 minutes, processed immediately

Vendors get paid on schedule. Relationships improve. Service quality improves.

AI Catches What Humans Miss

Current:

Board members reviewing 70 invoices at night, exhausted, missing patterns

With Karen:

AI flags suspicious patterns automatically

  • Duplicate invoices
  • Amount anomalies
  • New vendors
  • Formatting irregularities

Full audit trail for every decision: "I approved this, when, and why."

If fraud happens anyway, you have proof you did your due diligence.

How It Works

1

VENDOR SUBMITS INVOICE

Standard invoice process — nothing changes on the vendor side

2

KAREN PRE-PROCESSES

AI ingests the invoice and runs through:

  • Duplicate check (have we seen this invoice before?)
  • Math verification (is the total correct?)
  • Vendor history (is this amount within normal range?)
  • Fraud flags (does anything look suspicious?)
3

SUMMARY SHEET GENERATED

Instead of 70 PDFs, you get a clean summary:

[Vendor Name] | [Amount] | [Status: Approve / Review / Flag] | [Notes]

4

BOARD MEMBERS APPROVE

Two co-signers review the summary. Tap approve or flag.

Takes 15-30 minutes total. Mobile-friendly — approve from anywhere.

5

PAYMENT PROCESSED

Approved invoices flow directly to your accounting system. Vendors paid on schedule.

6

FULL AUDIT TRAIL

Every invoice. Every decision. Every timestamp. If questions come up later, you have proof.
