Could you build this?
Partial Invoice, expense, and receipt organization is standard vibe-codeable CRUD and OCR. Accurate royalty-statement parsing and Canadian tax handling for music businesses need domain expertise and a lot of format-specific work.
What it would actually take: The core is a document-ingestion pipeline (OCR and LLM extraction) feeding a ledger with categorization and export to accounting tools. The hard parts are parsing the many inconsistent royalty statement formats from distributors and collecting societies, and getting Canadian HST and bookkeeping rules right. This needs a bookkeeper or accountant with music-industry knowledge, plus trust-building through accuracy testing.
