Startup bookkeeping is broken
Traditional bookkeeping wasn't built for startups. You need accuracy, speed, and clarity — not complexity.
Books Are Always Behind
Your P&L is weeks or months behind. Categorizing transactions manually is tedious and error-prone. You never have a clear picture of where your money is going.
Bookkeepers Are Expensive
Quality bookkeeping services cost $500–$1,000/month. QuickBooks is built for accountants, not founders. You need clean books without the enterprise overhead.
Investors Need Clean Numbers
When investors ask for financials, you scramble to reconcile accounts. Messy books signal disorganization and erode trust before you even start the conversation.
What if your books could manage themselves?
The old way
“Where did that $4,200 charge come from?”
“Our books are 3 months behind again.”
“The investor wants financials by Friday...”
The Futureproof Way
“Every transaction is categorized automatically.”
“Our books are always up to date.”
“Financials are ready to share anytime.”
Bookkeeping that runs itself
AI-powered categorization, real-time statements, and bank-grade security — all on autopilot.
AI-Powered Categorization
Every transaction automatically categorized using models trained on thousands of startup transactions. Revenue, payroll, SaaS, infrastructure — all handled.
Bank-Grade Security
Plaid integration with bank-grade encryption. Read-only access to your accounts. Your data is always secure and private.
Audit-Ready Statements
Real-time P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements generated automatically. Always ready when investors or accountants ask.
Continuous Sync
Transactions sync daily from all connected accounts. Your books are always current — not weeks behind like traditional bookkeeping.
