# How Purser works. Purser prepares, you say yes. Page: https://purserhq.com/en/how-it-works/ Last updated: 2026-11-12 Purser is made by ASF Studio AB (reg. no. 559530-9385), Nacka, Sweden. Contact: hej@purserhq.com. > **Short answer.** Purser is an AI agent that prepares the admin of your Swedish limited company (aktiebolag) on your Mac: invoices, receipts, the bank, VAT, payroll and year-end. Purser Desktop works on a schedule with your own Claude or ChatGPT plan. Nothing is booked or sent without your yes on an Allow card, and you sign with BankID and pay in your bank yourself. ## What happens to the receipts every Monday? When a receipt has come in, Purser makes a voucher with the receipt as its evidence. It is booked only when you allow it. You email receipts to your company's receipt address (Kvittoadress), where they land in the receipt inbox, or your computer fetches them from Gmail and the sites you're signed in to. If a receipt is missing, Purser asks for that one. More on the page [Kvitton och bank](https://purserhq.com/lopande-bokforing/) (in Swedish). ## How is the bank reconciled? Purser works through the month's bank lines and matches them to invoices and receipts. The voucher is made with the receipt as its evidence and is booked when you press Tillåt en gång (allow once). The statement is fetched from your online bank in a browser on your computer, or you upload it as CSV or camt.053. ## How does your time become an invoice? Purser makes the invoice from your logged time or your own lines, with the right VAT and currency, and shows you the PDF. The invoice is issued when you allow it. It is emailed only after you say yes, and the payment is matched against the bank when it arrives. More on the page [Fakturering](https://purserhq.com/fakturering/) (in Swedish). ## How do you pay yourself a salary? You write that you want to take a salary, and Purser works it out with the tax deduction and employer contributions, filled in from last month. The payroll run waits for your Allow. You make the payment yourself in your bank. More on the page [Lön och AGI](https://purserhq.com/lon-och-agi/) (in Swedish). ## Who files VAT and the employer return? You do. Purser draws VAT (moms) and the employer return (AGI) from the books. The signing stays in Väntar på dig (Waiting for you) until you have signed at Skatteverket, the Swedish Tax Agency, with BankID, the Swedish e-ID, and you make the payment in your bank. The VAT card shows the last day to file or to pay. More on the page [Moms](https://purserhq.com/moms/) (in Swedish). ## How do you know something is waiting for you? At 16:00 you get a notification if something is waiting. Väntar på dig shows every open Allow card and every step that is yours, from every session. ## What happens when the year is closed? Purser closes the accounts under K2 from the same books as the rest of the year, fills in INK2 (the company tax return) and writes a draft annual report for you to review. Purser also keeps the AGM and the company's documents in order. The app's Kalender shows the dates for AGI, VAT, KU31, INK2, the AGM and the annual report, along with your own steps and schedules. More on the page [Bokslut och årsredovisning](https://purserhq.com/bokslut-och-arsredovisning/) (in Swedish). ## What does Purser do, and what do you do? Purser prepares. You say yes to anything that changes the books or leaves Purser, sign at Skatteverket with BankID and pay in your bank. The work happens in a session, a conversation between you, Purser and your AI. What Purser produces opens beside the session, so you can see what is about to happen. The app is in Swedish. ## What is an Allow card? An Allow card (Tillåt in the app) is the question Purser asks before anything is booked or sent. You answer Tillåt en gång (allow once), Tillåt alltid (always allow) or Neka (deny), and Purser can't approve its own proposals. The card shows what is about to happen. The invoice card, for example, shows the PDF and asks Tillåt or Neka. If you deny, it isn't done, and the draft stays. ## How does Purser work on a schedule? Purser Desktop runs your schedules, for example every Monday at 08:00: go through the bank and the receipts. You can also start a session yourself and write what you want done, such as “Gör veckans admin” (do this week's admin). ## Which AI does Purser use? Your own: Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus or higher. What you write goes from your computer straight to your AI provider, and Purser's servers never pass sessions on. What lives where is on the page [Security](https://purserhq.com/en/security/). ## What if Purser gets something wrong? Purser books nothing without your yes and can't approve its own proposals. If something is still wrong, it's fixed with a correction voucher and the original stays. Undo reverses a booking. The chart of accounts, VAT and periods are checked by Purser, not by the AI. ## What doesn't Purser do? Purser never makes payments and never signs. Purser doesn't send quotes, handle Kivra (the Swedish digital mailbox) or do K10. Purser is for Mac, and the app is in Swedish. What you need is on the page [Get started](https://purserhq.com/en/get-started/). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does my computer have to be on for Purser to work? Yes. Schedules run while the app is open and the Mac is awake. If a run is missed, say because the Mac was off on Monday morning, it happens the next time you start the app. ### Are the films real recordings? Yes. The films are recordings of Purser Desktop with a made-up demo company, Studio AB. The app, the cards and the decisions are real. What Purser writes in the films follows a script, and no real company data is shown. ### Do I need to know bookkeeping? You need to be able to say yes or no to a proposal. Purser lays out the voucher, the invoice or the salary with what is to be booked, and checks the chart of accounts, VAT and periods. If you're unsure, ask Purser in the session before you answer. ### What does Purser cost? 0 SEK during early access. Then 199 SEK per month excl. VAT.
