Your business is its contracts. Your agent can read them.

Bookkeeping starts in the wrong place

A bookkeeper starts from the bank feed and works backwards: this charge looks like software, so it goes under R&D. But the seat for the salesperson and the seat for the engineer are different costs, the discount promised in an email changes what a customer owes, and the vendor whose rate you pass straight through to a customer is not overhead at all. None of that is in the bank line. It is in the contracts, and the contracts are where a business is actually defined.

Finance tools simplified contracts away because people could not keep up with the detail. Agents can. They read a forty-page order form, notice the renewal clause and find the exception you agreed in a text message four years ago. That makes the contract the right first step, not the last one.

From agreement to rights, prices and timing

Your agent reads each agreement and records it as the rights it grants: what the customer or vendor receives, how each part is priced (fixed, per unit, tiered, a percentage, an allowance), when it is billed and when it is earned, and the evidence behind it. Repeated deals become templates, so the next customer on the same plan is recorded the same way. The contract freezes the terms that applied, and every invoice, usage reading and payment is recorded against them.

Economico checks the terms are complete and consistent, but it does not decide what a clause means. When the agent is unsure, it asks you, and you make the call.

Try the model before you record anything

Before a single invoice exists you can explore the business model: fixed prices, per-unit pricing with uniform, graduated or volume tiers, percentages, setup fees and bespoke services, combined the way your deals combine them. The preview shows known run rates by currency and keeps unknown prices visible instead of turning them into zero. When it looks right, your agent records it as a reusable plan or a draft contract.

Contracts change, and the history keeps up

Deals get amended, renewed, cancelled and sometimes entered wrong. An amendment keeps the earlier terms in the history instead of overwriting them; a contract set up wrong can be voided and recorded again, with both in the trail. Because every right keeps its own ledger, the same contracts that produce your invoices also tell you what a customer costs to serve and which plans actually make money.
