We are building the world's
simplest accounting system
About us
We know accounting is tiring and hard to get into. Instead of asking you, a small business owner, to adapt to how the industry has always done things, we turn it on its head.
We think it is hopeless that customers have to spend valuable time reading articles or sitting through hour-long webinars to do simple tasks in a system.
That is why we are building the world's simplest accounting system. You talk to Taki, which translates and carries out the tasks for you, instead of handing you a recipe or long explanations of what needs doing.
Who we are
We are a team of founders, AI experts, designers and accounting experts who got tired of using accounting systems the old way, and have fundamentally changed how easy it can be to run your company.
We are allergic to needless clicking through windows and forms. What we do like is giving small business owners real insight, and a great deal of it sits in your accounting data. We love spending time with customers to build the system of your dreams.
What we are building
In the first product we focus on a new kind of experience for you as a business owner, and for how you work with your accountant.
Not everyone can afford to pay for that, so we have taken active steps to lower the barriers for sole proprietorships that have just started out.
For companies that do not want an accountant, a self-service option is coming before long.
