AI can streamline accounting and bookkeeping, but connecting financial data deserves a careful review.
Before linking an account, ask:
1. What information will the tool access, and is it confidential?
2. Can access be limited to the people and features that need it?
3. How does the vendor use, share, and protect submitted data?
4. How long is data retained, and how can it be deleted?
Start with the minimum access needed. Review the vendor’s terms and settings, and revisit permissions and retention policies regularly. AI can support your workflow, but it doesn’t replace sound controls or professional review.
