Vendors that bill you every month

There is no separate 'recurring vendors' feature, and you don't need one. Vendors that bill you regularly are exactly what the matching memory learns fastest: after three confirmed matches a vendor is trusted for your company, its payments surface as top suggestions, and its learned category is pre-filled on every new invoice.

The short version

TaxItEasy does not have a dedicated subscription-detection view, recurring badges, or missed-invoice alerts. What it does have is something more general: a per-company matching memory that learns your vendors from the corrections and confirmations you make. Vendors that bill you every month are precisely the ones it learns first.

What actually happens with a monthly vendor

Take a cloud subscription that bills you on the 1st of each month:

  1. Month one: the invoice arrives (forwarded, scanned or uploaded), the AI reads it, and the payment shows up as a match suggestion. You confirm it.
  2. Month two and three: same flow. Each confirmation teaches the system that this vendor belongs to your company's books.
  3. From then on: the vendor is trusted for your company. Its candidate invoices get a capped score boost, so the right match floats to the top immediately. If you corrected the category once, the learned category is pre-filled on every new invoice from that vendor (precedence: your rules first, then learned knowledge, then the AI's own suggestion).

Learning never escalates a match behind your back: a suggestion becomes a silent auto-match only when the match score itself clears the strong-match threshold. The learned boost alone can't push it across that line. Every silent match stays visible and can be undone.

What this means in practice

  • No setup. You don't mark anything as recurring, because normal reviewing is the training.
  • Per company. Learning is strictly per company; a vendor trusted in one company means nothing in another.
  • It follows reality. If a subscription's amount changes, the matching signals (reference, amount tolerance, date window, counterparty) still do the work, and the learned trust only breaks ties in the vendor's favour.

What does not exist (so you don't look for it)

  • A "Recurring Vendors" list or view
  • Recurring badges on invoices
  • Missed-invoice alerts when an expected bill doesn't arrive

If a regular invoice fails to arrive, today you'd notice it as an unmatched bank transaction in the matching pipeline. The payment with no invoice to pair with is your alert.
