    The problem

    dk works well. Manual invoice entry is what slows you down.

    Your team already relies on dk to run the books. But every vendor invoice still means details to type in, accounts to choose and amounts to check. And it gets harder when one invoice has to be split across departments, projects, jobs or item numbers, and routed to the right approver.

    01

    Too much manual entry

    Even for e-invoices, a lot of data still has to be typed in and a lot of choices made. Hours a day go into data entry instead of financial work.

    02

    Complicated coding

    One invoice can carry lines for different accounts, VAT treatments, dimensions, jobs and item numbers, and each line can need its own approver.

    03

    Vendors keep changing

    New products, new invoice layouts and new vendors break fixed automation rules faster than anyone can maintain them.

    04

    Less time for oversight

    The people who know your finances best spend the day entering transactions instead of reviewing them.

    Bella takes on that workload, and dk stays exactly where it is.

    What changes

    An assistant for your bookkeeper, not another system to manage.

    Bella does the preparation. Your bookkeeper reviews the details that matter.

    Far less typing

    Bella reads every vendor invoice, whether it arrives as an e-invoice, a PDF, a scan or a photo, and prepares a complete posting. Your bookkeeper reviews a suggestion instead of starting from a blank entry.

    Complex invoices, coded line by line

    Invoices often belong to more than one expense account. Bella splits invoices across accounts, VAT treatments and dk's dimensions, even inside a single invoice line. Your team checks and corrects before anything is posted.

    Project accounting in dk

    Bella posts to jobs in dk's project accounting, and to job phases and job items where you use them. She also posts to item numbers, whether they are stock items or service items, so costs land on the right job as soon as the invoice is entered.

    The right approvers for dk's approval flow

    Tell Bella how to choose approvers, based on any combination of vendor, dimensions, jobs or anything else that matters to you. Bella proposes the right approvers, so each invoice goes straight into the approval flow you already use in dk.

    Experience goes to higher-value work

    Your bookkeeper knows your vendors, projects and spending patterns. With less data entry, that knowledge goes into review, cost analysis and better-informed decisions.

    Keep dk as it is

    No new accounting system, no data migration and no second ledger. Bella connects to dk Bókhald through the dk Plus API, and your invoices stay in dk.

    Step 04
    Bella sends to dk
    Confirmed invoices are sent to dk in batches, with their approvers, and go into the approval flow you already use there. Nothing goes into dk unless your team has confirmed it, and Bella records who confirmed each invoice.

    Who it's for

    Built for the invoices that make bookkeeping complicated

    Bella is especially valuable when vendor invoices need complex splits across expense accounts, dimensions or jobs, or affect inventory.

    Construction and contracting

    One vendor invoice can hold materials for several jobs. Bella prepares the coding for each line, job and job phase, and proposes an approver for each job, so your team reviews costs before they reach dk.

    Project accountingSplits across jobsApprovers by jobInventory purchases

    Fleet and vehicle rental

    Repairs, parts, servicing and maintenance create a steady flow of invoices. Bella codes each cost to the right vehicle or unit, so you can track what every vehicle costs.

    Maintenance invoicesSpare partsCost per vehicleRecurring vendors

    Property and asset-heavy businesses

    Maintenance and contractor invoices belong to a specific property, building or project. Bella prepares those allocations, so your team checks the right costs against the right assets.

    How ÞG Verk cut daily invoice entry from three hours to one

    ÞG Verk is a construction company with about 140 employees, in a group of 27 companies, with its accounting in dk. Every invoice is allocated to departments, projects and dimensions. “Almost every single line had to be entered or copied from the invoices,” says Íris Dögg Jónsdóttir in accounting.

    Bella now reads their vendor invoices, splits them into the right entries and suggests a complete posting with accounts, dimensions, references, approvers and descriptions. Once the bookkeeper confirms a suggestion, the invoice goes to dk. Invoices reach approval and payment sooner, too.

    Questions

    Bella and dk: what people ask

    No. Bella works on top of dk Bókhald. There is no new accounting system, no data migration and no second ledger. Your invoices stay in dk.

    A dk Plus subscription. Bella connects to dk through the dk Plus API. Setup takes a couple of hours, and you can start processing invoices the same day. We help you connect, and setup costs nothing.

    No. Bella prepares suggestions, and your team confirms or rejects them. Nothing goes into dk unless your team has confirmed it. When Bella is unsure about an invoice, she flags it for review. Bella records who confirmed each invoice and who sent it to dk.

    Yes. Bella codes each invoice line to its own account, VAT treatment and dk dimensions: department, project and cost centre. In project accounting she posts to jobs, and to job phases and job items where you use them, and to item numbers. She can also split a single invoice line, for example a phone bill that covers several employees and departments. In the demo we go through the dimensions your business uses.

    Yes. Bella posts to item numbers in dk, both stock items and service items. Every company sets up inventory differently, so in the demo we look at how you handle inventory purchases today.

    Yes. You tell Bella how to choose approvers, based on any combination of vendor, department, project, cost centre, job or anything else that matters. You write the rules in plain language. Bella proposes the right approvers for each invoice, so it goes into the approval flow you already use in dk, correctly set up.

    No. Bella is an assistant under your bookkeeper's direction. She takes on the repetitive entry, so the people who know your business, vendors and reporting have more time for review and analysis. As ÞG Verk's CFO put it: “The accountant's role is simply changing. We are not reducing staff.”

    That depends on your invoice volume, how complex the invoices are and how your review works today. ÞG Verk went from about three hours a day of invoice entry to under one hour. In a demo we can look at where Bella would save the most time in your workflow.

    A fixed monthly or annual subscription, priced mainly by how many invoices Bella sends to dk each month. There is no setup fee and no lock-in: you can cancel at any time. We send you a quote after the demo.

    Every suggestion gets a confidence score, so your team can spend its attention on the harder invoices. Your bookkeeper corrects anything that is wrong before it is posted, and Bella learns from each correction.
