Equity chart-of-accounts standardization

I renamed and renumbered the equity accounts across every entity from the browser, without moving a dollar of balance.

Across a dozen entities the equity section of the chart of accounts had drifted. Different names, different numbers, transposed codes, orphaned accounts. That inconsistency makes consolidation and tax prep harder than they need to be. I wanted one standard: a numbered block per partner, with the same person-to-number mapping everywhere.

How it works

The chart of accounts lives in QuickBooks and Docyt mirrors it, so I drove the edits through the browser with Claude-in-Chrome. For each account the agent finds the row by its exact current name or code, clicks the in-row edit control, sets the new name and number through native input events, and saves, checking the confirmation toast every time. The grid re-sorts after each save, so it matches by name or code, never by position.

Code collisions get parked at a temporary number, then swapped into the freed target, a three-save dance per colliding pair.
Children re-home automatically when I rename their parent, so a whole hierarchy rebuilds without re-parenting anything.
Everything is rename-and-renumber only, so total equity per entity is unchanged.

All entities are structurally processed. The detail-type fixes the UI blocks go straight to QuickBooks (the real source of truth) and to the CPA, and a large partner-capital reclass rode through as a journal entry.

A controller would have spent days clicking through this. I described the standard once and let the agent execute it account by account, entity by entity. My attention only went to the handful of genuinely ambiguous mappings, which is the point: funnel the judgment up, let the agent grind the rest.
