Where A Human Still Helps
We'll be straight about this. A bookkeeper is genuinely useful for messy edge cases, year-end with a complex situation, or advice that needs a human read. Solarium flags the things it isn't sure about rather than guessing, so you stay in control of the calls that matter. Many owners keep an accountant for year-end and let Solarium handle the day-to-day.
