Done withHermes Agent
- What they did
- The founder connected Hermes Agent to Gmail, Zoho Books, Aspire bank, Stripe and Telegram, and uploaded a 72-account chart of accounts. The agent wrote its own Python scripts against the official APIs, with no MCP servers. It ingested and classified documents, posted draft bills, imported bank transactions, matched them, and queued exceptions. He messaged-corrected its mistakes and ran it in parallel with a human accountant's books.
- How it went
- Setup took about 6–8 hours. The author estimates an 85–90% cut in routine month-end work. Seven corrections were needed, including bills posted without tax and over-eager matching. Stripe went smoothly: 145 transactions, 36 payouts.
- Worth knowing
- Sync the chart of accounts, currencies and tax codes from live Zoho each run, and set a rule that bills post at the full amount payable.
