What Is Keeva™? The AI Bookkeeping Assistant Explained

June 16, 2026 3 min read

Quick answer:

Keeva™ is the AI assistant built into CleanBooks AI that works alongside you to keep your books accurate , it categorises your income and expenses automatically, continuously reviews your records in the background, flags anything that needs attention, and explains issues in plain English so you can fix them with full control. Rather than replacing your judgement, Keeva does the repetitive work and surfaces what matters, so you review rather than re-do.

Most “AI bookkeeping” is a chat box bolted onto old software. Keeva™ is built into the platform and actually does the work. Here’s what it does and why it matters.

What does Keeva™ do day to day?

Keeva™ runs quietly in the background of your books and handles the repetitive parts:

  • Categorises transactions as your bank feed imports them, ready for you to confirm
  • Reviews continuously so errors are caught early, before they affect reports or compliance
  • Flags what needs attention, unusual spending, ambiguous transactions, potential issues
  • Explains in plain English why something matters and what to do next

Does Keeva™ take control away from me?

No, that’s the point. Keeva™ suggests corrections and walks you through them, showing previews and asking for confirmation before anything changes. You keep full control; Keeva™ just removes the manual grind and the guesswork. This human-first design is what makes AI bookkeeping approachable for non-accountants, see how AI bookkeeping works.

How is Keeva™ different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers questions. Keeva™ does things: it categorises, reconciles in the background, detects issues early, and turns raw financial data into clear summaries and reports. It’s an assistant that acts on your books, not just one that talks about them.

Is my data safe with Keeva™?

Data security is a fair concern with any AI tool. The principle is that automation should make your records more reliable, not less secure, see the full explanation in is AI bookkeeping data secure and safe.

How Keeva™ fits into CleanBooks AI

Keeva™ is the engine behind the whole CleanBooks AI experience: it’s why your books stay categorised, your tax estimate stays live, and your quarterly updates are ready to confirm rather than build from scratch. The best way to understand it is to watch it work on your own transactions, and the trial is free, with no credit card required.
