The monthly client pack, automated — and reconciled
Ilka delivers monthly Excel report packs for fractional CFOs and accounting firms — built from each client's Stripe, Google Sheets, Airtable, Pennylane and Xero (QuickBooks coming soon), with every figure copied from the source and reconciled, never retyped by AI.
Connect each client’s books
Connect Stripe, Google Sheets, Airtable, Pennylane and Xero with read-only access. QuickBooks is coming soon. One source per client organisation; credentials are encrypted at rest.
AI designs the pack once
Describe the pack in a sentence. AI picks columns, groupings, totals and a chart from the column headers and a few sample rows, and you review it against the real numbers before locking it.
Figures copied, never retyped
Every delivery fills the locked layout in code, straight from the source. A Source check sheet recomputes each total with live Excel formulas and shows the difference with the ledger. If a column disappears, the delivery stops with a clear message.
Delivered under your name
Pick the day — the 1st, the 5th after close, every Monday. Packs go out by email, to SharePoint or Google Drive, or to your own system through a signed webhook. White-label client portal with password and expiry is on Firm.
One-off workbooks too
Need a template or a cleaned-up export once? The one-off generator drafts a workbook from a description or improves an uploaded .xlsx/.csv — parsed in your browser, reviewed before you share it.
Works with your stack
Delivery channels: email .xlsx attachments, signed webhooks ( docs), Google Drive, SharePoint, and white-label client portal links on Firm. Data sources available today: Stripe, Google Sheets, Airtable, Pennylane and Xero. QuickBooks is coming soon. Roadmap: HubSpot, Notion — see integrations.
When to pick Ilka vs another tool
Short answers to the questions people type into Google or ChatGPT — not a feature-score dump. Full list on compare.
Already using Copilot or ChatGPT in Excel?
Those tools help while a file is open. Ilka is for the pack that has to refresh and ship without someone in the grid:
Syncing data with Coupler, Coefficient, or Sheetgo?
Keep the connector for live rows. Use Ilka when the deliverable is a scheduled .xlsx pack, not another live tab:
Power BI for dashboards?
BI stays for interactive analysis. Ilka covers the Excel file stakeholders still ask for:
Zapier for automations?
Zapier moves data between apps. Ilka builds and delivers the workbook on a cron:
AI agents & Ilka
- Client packs: locked layouts filled from the source in code — the model never writes figures.
- Schedule: recurring deliveries with a full delivery log (Scheduled runs are checked about every 30 minutes (UTC), not to the exact minute.)
- Webhook: automation stacks consume signed payloads — not a generic chat-with-data product.
Product limits (by design)
- Charts: up to 3 per workbook, 6 series max (bar, line, stacked, pie, scatter). Pie = one series. No combo, area, or dual-axis charts. Native OOXML charts are optimized for Microsoft Excel Desktop. LibreOffice and web viewers may render charts partially or not at all.
- Firm seats: shared recipes, connectors, and schedules across seats. Teammates can view shared items and trigger runs; edit and delete remain limited to the author.
- Scheduled runs: 500 rows per Airtable pull (and the same default cap on most connectors). Scheduled runs are checked about every 30 minutes (UTC), not to the exact minute.
- Free plan: Free covers 1 client: 1 pack, 5 deliveries a month, every connector, Source check included. Pro adds 3 clients and commercial use; Firm adds seats, the white-label client portal and SharePoint delivery.
Why firms choose Ilka for recurring client reporting
Numbers that tie out, every month
Generic AI spreadsheet tools write figures with the model. Ilka locks the layout once and copies every figure from the source in code, so next month’s pack is as trustworthy as this one.
- Source check sheet with live Excel formulas in every workbook
- Deliveries stop with a clear message when a source column changes
- Deterministic output: same data in, same workbook out
Built for client delivery, not internal dashboards
Fractional CFOs and firms send packs to clients who want an Excel file. Ilka handles the last mile under your brand.
- White-label email and client portal with password and expiry (Firm)
- One pack per client, duplicated across clients in a click
- Portal download tracking and an exportable delivery log
The ledgers firms actually use
Read-only connectors for the systems behind client reporting, with credentials encrypted at rest.
- Available today: Stripe, Google Sheets, Airtable (SharePoint delivery)
- Coming soon: Xero and QuickBooks Online
- Roadmap: HubSpot, Notion
