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:
- Treasurer sends batch to Strongroom
- You and co-signer manually review each PDF invoice
- Check vendor (is this real?), amount (does this make sense?), math (is it correct?)
- Approve or flag
- 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
VENDOR SUBMITS INVOICE
Standard invoice process -- nothing changes on the vendor side
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?)
SUMMARY SHEET GENERATED
Instead of 70 PDFs, you get a clean summary:
[Vendor Name] | [Amount] | [Status: Approve / Review / Flag] | [Notes]
BOARD MEMBERS APPROVE
Two co-signers review the summary. Tap approve or flag.
Takes 15-30 minutes total. Mobile-friendly -- approve from anywhere.
PAYMENT PROCESSED
Approved invoices flow directly to your accounting system. Vendors paid on schedule.
FULL AUDIT TRAIL
Every invoice. Every decision. Every timestamp. If questions come up later, you have proof.
