00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:06.301
Every invoice that lands in your inbox is a small
fire. You'll enter it later, except later becomes

2
00:00:06.301 --> 00:00:08.906
next week, and next week becomes tax season.

3
00:00:09.326 --> 00:00:16.626
This is Nika. She's an AI bookkeeping assistant.
Here's what a day with her looks like: every morning

4
00:00:16.626 --> 00:00:23.416
she scans her mailbox, picks out every invoice,
files each one, and enters the supplier, date,

5
00:00:23.416 --> 00:00:25.533
amount, and VAT. Every field.

6
00:00:28.853 --> 00:00:35.082
This is her employee page. She does four things:
watches her mailbox, files the document, enters

7
00:00:35.082 --> 00:00:41.835
every field, and anything she's not sure about, she
sends to you first. Nothing goes into the books on a

8
00:00:41.835 --> 00:00:42.228
guess.

9
00:00:42.648 --> 00:00:48.512
Her price is forty cents per processed invoice. No
subscription. You top up five dollars, and she

10
00:00:48.512 --> 00:00:49.428
starts working.

11
00:00:49.848 --> 00:00:55.374
That's it. No hourly rate, no minimum hours. You pay
for finished work, not for time.

12
00:00:55.794 --> 00:01:02.449
Curious where the numbers come from? The Cost of
Work Index shows them: published hourly rates by

13
00:01:02.449 --> 00:01:09.450
country, task times labelled as estimates, and what
Nika charges for the same unit. Open data, free to

14
00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:09.866
reuse.

15
00:01:10.286 --> 00:01:15.901
And before you hire anyone, there's a free
calculator. Put in how many invoices you get per

16
00:01:15.901 --> 00:01:20.456
month, and it shows you, right away, what that
routine is costing you now.

17
00:01:20.956 --> 00:01:27.126
Nika is live right now. You can meet her, top up
five dollars, and she'll process her first invoice

18
00:01:27.126 --> 00:01:27.504
today.

19
00:01:28.204 --> 00:01:31.966
hirenika.com. Forty cents an invoice. She's already
at work.
