Right now we’re relying on a connected Google Sheet that pulls in data from Stripe and Mercury! works well enough for tracking cash flow and expenses.
All the receipt/document collection side is handled by our own tool @Receiptor AI especially helpful since we’ve got a mix of inbox receipts and physical ones.
Right now, we're using a mix of QuickBooks and internal automations built on top of Growstack. QuickBooks handles the basics well, but we needed more flexibility around tagging, reporting, and syncing with other ops tools — so we built lightweight AI agents to automate things like categorization and monthly summaries.
Honestly, most early-stage tools feel either too manual or too enterprise. If your tool can simplify the back-office drag without needing a finance degree, I’m all ears. Always open to trying smarter, founder-friendly alternatives.

What does the AI tool do that QuickBooks, Numeral, etc. don't?
@steveb simplicity and low pricing, plus a free personalized calendar and automated reminders for early-stage startup founders

That sounds exactly like something I’ve been waiting for!
Bookkeeping can be such a time sink at this stage — really looking forward to seeing what your AI-driven tool can do 🙌
@ninaaaa0913 try taxhero.vc/checkin answer a few questions and get a tax calendar for your startup (it's free).
Good luck on your launch!
