Sery for Accounting

Your clients' books stay on their machines.
You see the numbers.

Query across every client dataset from one dashboard — without a single spreadsheet landing on your server, your cloud, or anyone else's.

The problem

Client financial data is the most sensitive data there is.

Clients won't send raw exports

Tax files, payroll exports, and GL dumps contain data clients are legally obligated to protect. Emailing them to you is a breach waiting to happen.

Shared drives are a liability

A Dropbox folder full of client financials is a single point of failure. One compromised account exposes every client you've ever worked with.

Tax season means reconciliation panic

Chasing data across three laptops and a file server — who submitted Q3? Whose numbers look off? This shouldn't take a week of email threads.

How it works

One workspace. Every client. Zero uploads.

01

Each client installs Sery Link — free, no account required

The client installs Sery Link on their accounting machine and connects their data folders. Nothing leaves their machine. Sery indexes only schema metadata — column names, row counts, file paths.

02

You invite each client to your CPA workspace

Your Plus workspace ($19/mo) covers up to 5 connected machines. Manage one workspace per engagement group, or contact us for firm-wide arrangements.

03

Query across every client from your dashboard

Ask "compare Q1 revenue across all connected clients", "flag clients whose expense totals look unusual", or "which clients haven't connected this month" — answers assemble across every machine without moving a file.

04

Check client metrics on the go with Sery Snap

In a client meeting or travelling? Open Sery Snap, hold the mic, and ask about any client's numbers by voice. No VPN. No remote desktop. Results stream back in seconds.

Use cases

Five questions every CPA asks at tax time

"Compare Q1 revenue across all connected clients"

Benchmark every client in one query — no spreadsheet assembly

"Which clients haven't sent Q3 data yet?"

Chase-up list in seconds, not a week of email threads

"Flag unusual expense patterns in any connected source"

Outlier detection across the whole book before review

"Show me which files were updated since last Tuesday"

Track who's made changes between meetings

"What's the total payroll for Acme Corp in Q2?"

Ask by voice from Sery Snap — no SQL, no laptop required

Privacy guarantee

Client financials never leave their machine

Schema metadata only — no file contents

Sery syncs column names, row counts, and file paths. Revenue figures, payroll amounts, and transaction records are never uploaded anywhere.

Queries execute on the client's machine

When you ask a question, the SQL runs locally on DuckDB on the client's computer. Only the answer travels back to you — never the underlying data.

Verifiable audit log per client

Every outbound network event is logged to a local file on the client's machine. They can see exactly what Sery sent — a credible answer to "what does this thing actually do?"

AGPL-3.0 open source — no trust required

The desktop client is open source. Clients, auditors, and IT teams can read the code and verify the privacy claims themselves.
