Bertha prepares. A person approves.

The practice we worked with had one rule above all others for any automation: it never does anything without warning. We made that rule the core of Bertha.

Here is how it works in practice.

Bertha proposes a plan, not an action. When it prepares a write-off list, a VAT return or a reminder to a client, you see exactly what will happen: which items, which amounts, which message, to whom.

One person approves it. Firms set who can approve. Viewers can look, operators can prepare, approvers decide. The approval carries a name.

Every action leaves a receipt. What Bertha read, what it changed and who approved it are kept in an audit trail that cannot be quietly edited after the fact.

Anything that touches a client or the tax authority always waits for a person. That is not a setting you can switch off by accident.

Why go to this trouble? Because the firm's judgement is the valuable part. Bertha is there to do the preparation, so the people who know the clients spend their time on the decisions only they can make.
