Whitepaper: Architecture for Agentic Accounting

‍

Every accounting system of the last five centuries has rested on two decisions: the journal entry as the unit of record, and the financial statements as the end goal. Everything a business does gets compressed to fit them, and accountants spend each month rebuilding what that compression threw away.

This whitepaper makes the case for a different architecture, one built for the agent era and one that records the business event itself and derives the accounting from it.
